How's it going, Debbie?
I have a question for you wise ones. My DD is a college freshman and has a roommate who I'm really wondering about. Both of the girls had interviews this morning for jobs for next year. The jobs are on campus, in an office doing various things to do with campus entertainment--scheduling concerts, weekend tours, movies, etc, etc. My DD is interested in the entertainment side and her roommate the administrative side, so they are not competing for the same jobs, or so they say.
They were trying to figure out what to where for the interview and I told my DD "casual, but not slutty" (I don't mince words LOL), so slacks or capris, shirt that is not revealing, no flip flops, but not dressed up, either. She doesn't ask my opinion until last night or I would have directed her to the DIS.

Her roommate told her that she should be getting dressed up, which is what the other girl did (totally dolled up, with hair, makeup, clothes, etc, etc) and according to my DD overdone. Whatever, she can dress how she wants, but was making my DD feel like she was way too casual, which I doubt because my DD tends to overdo the makeup in my opinion since all she really has to do is to get dressed and she looks great. Really.
So, anyway, the roommate got back from her interview and told my DD that all the positions that my DD wanted were already filled. My DD didn't know what to think, but that it didn't sound right to me. First of all, they'd probably interview everyone before deciding and why would they tell the roommate about a totally different position unless there was a sign posted stating filled positions.
So my DD went to the interview and they said nothing about any filled positions. My DD didn't see any signs about filled positions.
So how would you handle it with the roommate?
And my DD is supposed to room with this girl next year.
One other thing--this girl went to high school with the missing New Jersey boy (knew him, but not close friends) and is pretty shook up about that situation, so my DD doesn't want to come down too hard on her because she knows she's upset. But if she is indeed lying, this just doesn't sound like normal behavior.
I almost posted this as a new thread, but decided that I wasn't in the mood to get beat up by certain posters. I won't name any names...
