Damn, glad to hear that it’s not just me–feels like something unexpected comes up all of the time. I have often called my life a “comedy of errors.” Though not often funny, these constant challenges require me to prove who I am, what I am made of. Somehow, each time, I manage to rise to the challenge, and endure under pressure with grace. Thank You God.
I can totally relate to this situation. I can recall that dreaded moment when I had my first interview with a well-respected consulting firm. I was already extremely nervous. It became worse when I spilled tea on my white blouse. Since it was obvious, I knew I had to woman-up and think of something clever to say. During the interview, I smiled and said, “You guys have great tea.” It was light humor, but they were able to relate. Needless to say, I won them over.

At least you kept your cool. I admire people who can keep their cool although they are having a mini nervous breakdown inside.
Woooow. Amazing story. What a twist that they said that at the end, without even knowing about your zipper issue!!
