super freakout

Damn you, fate. Damn you for taking good news and completely smothering it with horribleness.
And damn me.
Yes, I put off hemming my suits. Until half an hour ago. I put on one of the pairs of pants to check to see where to pin up the hem.
They're too big.
Quite obviously too big.
Concerned, I try on a skirt.
Too big.
You see, I bought these suits (3 of them, $400 total) when I first moved here. I thought I was going to get right on the ball when it came to getting a job, but I didn't.
But I did join a gym.
And I've lost weight.
Never enough to notice, until now.
And now all my interview suits are too big.
Yay, I've lost weight?

What in the fuck am I going to do now.

Find a nice tailor -- many dry cleaners offer it, and there are freestanding ones too. Taking in the side seams of the skirt should not be an expensive operation. Altering the jacket may be more $, but there's more leeway in how a jacket hangs.

Oh, I knew alteration was an option, but I am really broke. Getting a credit card cash advance to pay rent type broke. :P That's why this interview is so important... It's a job that I want and can get!!
