Thank you thank you darling! I'm going business-wear shopping tomorrow since I don't ANYTHING like that, haha, some nice dress pants and a blouse, or something.

now if you get the job you should tell the about needing time off asap also during your interview you might want to ask hypothetically

I was definitely leaning toward doing both of those things! And yeah, job vs no job just because I can't take a vacation? No contest there.
