On Being a Receptionist

or
Real Conversations are the Best Pretend Blog Posts

Me: ever had to submit a "less that 500 word self interview" instead of a resume?
Me: i am completely puzzled by the concept
tb: no, that's a new one, but i like it.
tb: that's hard.
tb: what are you applying for?
Me: it's a pt receptionist for a biz plan writing firm
Me: so i can understand the more open format
tb: you would make a hot receptionist
tb: if any of my ventures are ever big enough to hire a receptionist, you're so in
Me: lol, awesome

[Some time later...]

Me: you know, i don't think i'd ever actually looked at receptionist positions before today
Me: i'm kinda starting to wonder how that is
tb: i think it would be kind of fun. well, for a while.
Me: heh, yes
Me: as any job is
Me: i was a secretary for a while and the worst part was moreso the other secretaries
Me: rather than the work itself
Me: i've always wanted to be a PA but you usually need personal transport for that
tb: (nod)
tb: you could buy a motorcycle and be a motorcycle PA. that would be HAWT
Me: oh man, but then i'd have to learn how to ride a bicycle first
Me: and resumes alone are hard enough
Me: still, yes, HAWT
Me: and i could fulfill my fantasy of being the ultimate personal assistant/model/assassin/professional sexpert
Me: and all would be well with the world
tb: you should write a graphic novel about the ultimate PA/model/assassin/professional sexpert and make a milion $$$
Me: that would be awesome
Me: i would have the hugest lines for book signings at comic book shops
Me: i am adding this to the marketing section of my plot to take over the world
tb: sweet
tb: don't forget me when you do
Me: of course not!
Me: you can live in my evil lair and be my personal fencing instructor
Me: as an assassin, i will need one of those
Me: i will probably also need a receptionist.
Me: hmm...

My friends are very tolerant people. :)
