Confessions Of An Interviewee

Posted by Ling on March 19, 2004

I am ready to confess…

I give you the scenario…

I was early for a 12.30pm interview…

“Hi, my name’s Ling and I’ve got an interview at 12.30…”

“Take a seat Ling…you’ll be seen shortly”

I scuttled to the seats in the Waiting Room area of the dental surgery.  My eyes were drawn to the pile of magazines lying on the table in front of me -  hello, heat, Woman, Chat, gossip magazines galore.

“Stay focussed Ling!” said my inner voice, after all, I was about to be interviewed and to be seen reading these magazines was not highly professional.

Tick-tock…tick-tock…12.35pm….12.40pm…

“Oh hi Ling…I’m busy with a patient just now so I’ll be a few more minutes.”

“No problem.”

My attention span starts to deteriorate…and yet again, my eye-bag ridden eyes wander towards the features on the covers of those glossy mags….and then B.I.N.G.O!!

HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT & KEEP IT OFF!

With one quick glance up…no-one looking…I pick up the mag and flick to those magic pages for the ultimate solution to weight loss forever…

I skimmed the pages really quickly…and I mean skim…like skimmed milk….and I mean really quickly…like really quickly….

Quick skim over…I plonk the mag back onto its original position and act as if nothing had happened…

I pondered for 2 minutes….feet starting to twitch….fingers starting to tap…eyes starting to dart about…

Unable to resist, I picked up the magic mag again and again, flicked to those amazing pages of wisdom….Now, how could I retain all that information?

All that wonderful information to inspire me to lose the 14lbs of fat I had ‘ingeniously’ gained…(ahem)

Take time out now & close your eyes and imagine me, sitting in a waiting room, with a mini-me Angel on my right shoulder and a mini-me Devil on my left shoulder….

Oh no..I couldn’t possibly do that…

Oh yes, you can…it’s easy…no-one’s looking…

This battle went on for a good few minutes…

And before you knew it, I cleverly slipped the magazine into my bag….i.e. I stole it!!!!!!!!

These dirty hands, typing this blog…tarnished, damaged, filthy, scummy…

SORRY!!!!

Forgive me God for I have sinned…

Remember, God is omnipresent…He knows everything…and it is essential to confess every sin…no matter how big or small…it is still sin!!

Confession over…
