Here's an astonishing true story for you. Right now I'm unemployed, it's a long story, but suffice it to say I was fired for missing a shift due to being in county lockup. Anyway, that's not the important part, and don't worry...it was non-violent...I was just a bad boy with my computer.
Anyway, due to being unemployed I'm on a job hunt and at this point with the holidays coming up and having a family to support I'm not looking for a good job, just a job. So, I was at this video store Friday night and the manager happened to be in so I figured I'd apply. During the course of applying I'm talking to the manager about various things, nothing important, just joking around building a rapport with her.
So, here I am filling out an application and telling a story about the idiot who walked out during Zack and Miri which I'd seen immediately prior to going to the video store. In the course of telling the story(and not paying attention to where I was or what company I was in), I said **** a few times. That's pretty astonishing on a few levels, really.
First, on the level of just saying it to a woman, and a woman I don't even know. Then you have the level of her being the manager of a place I'm applying for a job. And, finally you have the fact that I very, very rarely ever vocalize that word. I'll type it from time to time, but I've said it out loud maybe 10 times in my entire life.
I hand her my application and she says she's not hiring at the moment, I figured it was cuz I wasn't paying attention and I said **** to her. Oh well, not like I lost out on something glamorous, right? So, fast forward around 18 hours and she's calling me to come in for an interview later this week.
So, maybe chicks do dig the word ****.
