Job experience comes in handy
On the day of my big job interview, I woke up late. Frantically, I threw on a suit.
“Oh no!” I thought. “My tie!”
My dad was out of town and wasn’t there to help me, and for the life of me, I didn’t know how to tie a tie! I grabbed one and ran out the door.
“Excuse me, sir,” I said to the crossing guard, “I have an important job interview. Can you please help me tie this tie?”
“Sure,” said the guard, “just lie down on this bench.”
Well, if someone was going to help me, I wasn’t going to ask any questions.
After he finished—and the tie looked good—I just had to ask, “Why did I have to lie down?”
“Well,” he replied, “in my previous job, I learned how to tie a tie on other people when they were lying down.”
“What was your previous job?” I asked incredulously.
“I ran a morgue,” came the reply.
I suffer from ADCD: Attention Deficit Cleaning Disorder.
It’s where you start cleaning one thing but get distracted by another thing that needs cleaning. That causes you to bounce from one job to another—only to end up doing a lot of work with nothing to show for it!
I was visiting my daughter last night and asked if I could borrow a newspaper.
“This is the 21st century,” she said. “We don’t waste money on newspapers. Here, use my iPad.”
I can tell you this… that fly never knew what hit him.
