I was set to go on a date with my crush, but he canceled last minute. My hair was done, and I looked stunning, so I decided to spend the night on the town. I arrived at the restaurant, ate my meal and went for a movie. But as I was standing in line, someone tried to get my attention.

It was someone I used to intern with. We caught up, swapped info, and two weeks later, I landed the job I’d been dreaming of. That canceled date turned out to be the best no-show of my life.
