Hello world,
I thought today I should add another funny story which came to mind, this goes back about 7 or so years ago. I had to share this with you as every time I think of it I laugh, so why not bring a smile to your faces as well.
A friend of mine was about 8 months pregnant and she wanted to apply for a job, the job was perfect for her, part time and in a good organisation. She told me she would hide her pregnancy and try and get the job, then once they hire her, they would have to give her maternity leave.
Well as good as the plan sounds it wasn't that well thought out, so she gets past the phone interview her CV was impressive, everything was going great. We even went shopping to get a outfit which would hide this tummy of hers, I could still see it and I don't know what she was looking at, but oh well.
Anyway came the day of the interview, she called me and told me she decided to wear her trousers and a baggy shirt with a shawl, I didn't know what to say as she has changed her mind, so there wasn't much I could do.
So she goes to the interview, she knew the headhunter very well, he was her old school teacher, he made her feel comfortable. Everything was flowing and about to overflow and it was time to go into the interview room.
She stepped in all confident and saw there was a panel of people interviewing, she didn't let that phase her. She sat down and felt her trousers were really tight and hurting her, so on the sly she unbuttons her trousers and zip when she is about to sit. The interview went well and she felt great, this friend can talk the talk, I mean she can sell sun to the Arabs, that's how clever she is.
The interview was in flow motion, she felt super confident and thought she had it in the bag. Well they said that's great and we will get back to you etc. Then she got up and walked towards them to shake their hands, and they all looked mortified, the men on the panel put their hands on their faces to turn away.
She looked at them thinking what is going on, well the lady who didn't cover her face told her, "dear your trousers have come down". Oh my dear god, she looked down, her trousers were in her feet and you could see her bump clearly as she had a pregnancy tummy sucker on. She was in shock and stood there frozen.
Her old teacher turned away as he couldn't even look at her, she also had long johns on which look like leggings, the total situation was in a state. This friend of mine laughs a lot, so in this situation she had tears rolling down her eyes, from shock, laughter and shame, all rolled into one.
She pulled up her trousers after 2 mins, she still put her hand forward for a hand shake, what the hell was she doing. I think she was in total shock and she started laughing like crazy, it went down hill clearly.
She went outside and buttoned her trousers properly, her old teacher came out and couldn't even speak, as even he was laughing. She had hit the all time low, but laughed till she was crying, her words couldn't even come out. So her old teacher says "it happens", then he starts laughing again.
After that awkward conversation she calls me asking me to come and get her, she claimed it was a emergency, clearly it was. So I rushed to get her and she said "Sam I have been humiliated", she was laughing her head off and when she told me, I remember laughing so much I nearly peed myself.
I mean I'm not insensitive but this was a funny story even she was laughing, I think I haven't laughed this much in a long time. I took her home and we had a good laugh all afternoon.
This story is dedicated to her, she reads my blog religiously, I won't name and shame you, but you know who you are hahahaha.
Have a good day world and smile because life isn't worth living without a smile.
Peace out Sam........
