Description
Mike, a college graduate desperately wanting a job, is waiting to be called in to the manager's office for his interview. He is both nervous and excited about this opportunity.
“The Ms Timebocker will see you now.” says Julie, the secretary.
Not soon after the secretary made the announcement, the manager’s door open and there stand Ms. Timebocker with arm extended. “Welcome Mike!” says Ms Timebocker cheerfully, “Glad you could make it. Please, come on in.”
Mike walks into Ms. Timebocker's office. “Julie, Mike and I might be a while, so no interruptions please.” she says with a wink.
“Yes ma’am” the secretary winks back.
“Please, Mike, have a seat.” Ms Timebocker says while approaching her executive style, leather back, rolling chair.
Mike sits slowly as if the chair was a delicate work of art. Ms Timebocker, a middle aged woman, was very accomplished and she had all the items a typical office had. There were degrees and certificates on the wall, a case for her trophies and awards, and her name engraved in gold letters sitting on her desk. But one thing stood out; she had a shoe rack filled with high heels.
“Mike, did, you have a good ride over here?”
“Yes. yes, I did. The drive here was nice, and I love the park over by the…”
“Mike, let’s get right down to business.” Ms Timebocker interrupts with arms folded and leaning forward half way across her desk. “You have a very impressive resume and we could use a guy with talent like yours, but there is one big question. How do you feel about the smell of onions?”
“Uh.. onions ma’am?” Mike questions nervously
“Yes, onions?”
“I like onion rings”
“Excellent Mike. How about cheese? Does the smell of cheese bother you?”
“Not at all. I like to dip my chips in cheese. But what does this have to do with the job?” Mike asks.
“You see Mike, we have a very large female staff and they are very hard workers. They put there blood, sweat, and tears into making this company great. Key word there is sweat. And, I like my females to feel comfortable on the job. Heels is a requirement for ladies when they meet with a client, but when they are at their desk, they may need to take their heels off to relax. And…”
“Sometimes there sweaty feet smell like onion and cheese?” Mike interrupts lifting both eyebrows and eyes as big a saucers.
“Yes, exactly. So, I need to know can you handle funky smells”
“I guess?” Mike responds in a half question half answer higher than normal voice.
At that moment Ms Timebocker picks up the phone to call Julie. “Julie, Send in the troops”
Less than a minute later seven women of all shapes and sizes walks in Ms Timebocker's office.
“Your last test to see if you are fit for the job is to see if you can handle all these lady’s feet in one room. Mike if you could stand up and take a step back. Ladies if you will please form a circle around mike and take off your shoes.” at this time Ms Timebocker is now perch at the front of her desk with anticipation as to what is about to happen
The ladies begin to giggle and smile as they one by one slip off their shoes.
“I love this part of the interview.” says one lady
“I wonder how long it will take for him to pass out like the last candidate?” says another.
The mingling of each of the lady smelly, sweaty, grungy feet begins to penetrate the air. Mike seems to be holding together well as the sewer type smell thickens.
“No holding your breath Mike” says Ms Timebocker with a smile. “In fact take deep breaths”
Mike take deeps breaths as instructed. Suddenly, the smoke detector in the room is triggered due to thickness of the air.
“Will someone get that please?” ask Ms Timebocker
After about 15 minutes of dealing with enough stink to make a skunk run away, Ms Timebocker glances at her watch and exclaims, “Ladies, I think we have a winner. Mike, congratulations and welcome aboard. Ladies you can get back to work. Mike, please see the secretary on the way out for the paperwork.”
“Thank you Ms Timebocker” Mike replies
After a few minutes Julie returns with the forms to be filled out.
“Wow Mike.” Julie says, “You must have a high tolerance to smell to be able to handle all those ladies in such a confined space.”
“It was nothing” says Mike.
“I don’t think so.” Replies Julie, “Some of the ladies were tearing up a bit, but you didn’t budge a bit”
“Like I said, it was nothing. Besides, I can’t smell anyway.”
