Random Overhearings…

Overheard earlier today during an interview:

Interviewer: You understand that this job involves interacting with corner shops and retailers and wholesalers and really the lowest of the low…

Woman applicant: I understand completely. It is a challenge. But as you can see in my CV it is a challenge I have faced successfully before.

Interviewer: Hmm. But I hope you are aware of the… you know… sheer dirtiness involved in this profile. Street-work is tough and can be a total turn off for a lot of people… most people…

Woman: Oh no no no. (Gesticulating with both hands for effect) I love interacting with people. In fact when I meet these types of people… I just dont get turned off at all… in fact I get really really turned on! Really turned on! (Face huffing with effort…)

Interviewer: Er… ah… yes of course… ok…

    Certain situations bring out the meaning of the worrd in a completely different perspective. Just as she is trying to reply how turned on of off she is with stray people, Journalism does not seem to be so turned on by bloggers- Are bloggers failed writers and half-wits or for professional journalism, is this the pits?

    Now Now, I need to don the role of a street thug and get her turned on. That would be a challenge now.


    Hey Sidin

    In your links section, i think you meant Jay/David Letterman/O'Brain Liners instead of Jay/Leno/O'Brain Liners

    I am not sure if she got the job or not, but all corner shop owners in her "field" will definitely be turned on too ;-)
  • Jay Sun
    Good one !


    btw, did she get the job ?
  • Giri
    Funny one!


    i think wrong words tumble out frequently in office settings. A lady in my earlier company sent a farewell note to us all stating



    "..sad to leave you, but i am sure we will keep banging into each other".



    I've read many a funny farewell note till now. If one makes a compendium of such REAL ONES it will make an ultra comedy book i guarantee!
