Guess who has a job interview? ME! Memememememe!!!!

This is the first time I have ever gotten a call back from a company I sent my resume to. And I actually like the job. OK, so it could be about something sexier, like astronomy. But still.

So the interview is currently scheduled for 10 AM, but could be scheduled later. I HAD a driving lesson scheduled for 11 AM. Not sure when it could be scheduled for.
I have to somehow get to South San Francisco for the interview, and then back. There are buses...

Would it be a bad idea to have my driving lesson at 9 AM, dropping me off at the job interview at 10:30 (reschedule the interview for 10:30 or 10:45), and then find my way home on my own?
This would be very efficient, but I'd be a basket case during the driving lesson, or I might be, and that could be bad.

If I leave the interview where it is, and move the driving lesson to 11:30, that would leave an hour and a half for the interview. I might be sitting around doing nothing for a while afterwards, but that's not the end of the world. Of course, if they really liked me and invited me to eat lunch with them, that would be a problem. Maybe I should just move the driving lesson later in the day or... dunno.

Bart is just right out as a method of getting there. It would get me there late (ie. I'd have to move my interview time), or it would require getting there more than 2 hours early. Which is ridiculous.
Caltrain, I'd have to walk a few blocks to catch my bus, or just walk the whole distance. I'd probably get there fifteen minutes early instead of several hours early or thirty minutes late.
I'd have to be up at 8:30 to get there at 10 AM.

Hmm...
Maybe I should just see about having my driving lesson first. The interview could go really late. The office is only four people, but still...

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I mustn't get my hopes up too much. This job would be PERFECT for me, but I don't want to deal with too much disappointment. But... but...

Congrats, and good luck!

I'd just cancel the driving lesson and concentrate on being at your best and shiny brightest for the interview, rather than trying to do both things. You're probably right that you wouldn't be too good at driving-learning that day!

CalTrain and the San Mateo buses are both very reliable when it comes to schedules; BART somewhat less so. CalTrain has the advantage of being comfy, and you can eat breakfast and read on the train. Being there early gives you time to calm down, get your thoughts in order, check your hair, and anything else like that.

Forget the driving appointment. I've had job interviews that lasted as little as 30 minutes and as long as 4 hours. You may interview with two people, or ten. It just depends on exactly what they want. I'd seriously suggest you reschedule the appointment for another day.
