The Job Application
We’ve been interviewing people for a position we’ve had open for the past couple of weeks. The powers that be usually bring me into the process to see how thick skinned the potential employee is. They don’t want to hire someone, train them and belatedly discover the person has a politically correct stick up his ass. That’s right, ol’ TZ is held up to potential employees in the 'this is the kind of trash you’re going to be working with' light.
So I go into this latest interview and the guy looks like he might have potential. With these types of guys one needs to lay it all out there. "You’re resume is impressive," I lied. "You've had many of the same experiences a cousin on my father’s side of the family has had." Then I looked up at him and added, "He’s a homosexual." Then I slowly asked, "Are yooouuu a homosexual?"
The guy held my gaze and answered, "No. But I’m willing to learn."
