A DAY AT THE OFFICE

Imaginary Gardens With Real Toads


d'Verse Poets Pub









I once interviewed a guy
applying for a job
who had a booger clinging to his upper lip


you can prepare all you want
for an interview
and read the advice from all those experts


they tell you to stay calm
they tell you to learn something about the company
they tell you not to be too chatty


nobody tells you to check for boogers


this is a serious flaw in the
advice given out by experts


I felt bad for the guy
but you know
you really can't have people like that
running around the office 


I didn't point it out to him
because we were supposed to send a follow-up letter
to all the applicants who weren't hired
saying although you were not selected at this time
we will keep your resume on file
in the event of future openings


which was bullshit


I knew I would not have to send the letter
because when he got home
and looked in the mirror
he would know the score
