There are certain things that I want, maybe I am selfish but I don't mind working to achieve these things accept that there are rediculous obstacles in my way and sometimes I wonder whether something so absurd could happen in an instance of finding a job.. and there was.
Last week I applied for a job at The Pancake Parlour. You know the one, with the huge gimmick that's been the label for that business since before I was born. If you see an add with a trumpet jingle, a monkey holding a phone. That's the one. It's abit coincidental as the story I'm about to tell you involves as much stupidity and absurdity combined you wonder why I got denied from this job. Crazy people live there, with wierd morals and their own definitions of what is professional.
I handed in a resume and did an online application for a casual/ part time job there...
A week later Im sitting in my friends car and he is telling me that one of his friends saw me hand in my resume to a worker there and by the way this conversation was going, a look of amusement creeps across my friends face and the words that he will announce are just honey to his ears. He tells me the worker handed it to the Manager there and the guy disapproved of the resume because I handed it in an envelope.
"Very unprofessional". What is unprofessional about handing a resume in a letter? Ask the monkey with the telephone behind the desk or the Giraffe waiting tables.
Aside from that.. I do enjoy the food there. Love pancakes. Next time I'll order a 5 stack with extra ice cream and chocolate sauce and get the manager to do a little dance for me.
