Another Monday Morning
Your call goes straight to the company's voicemail. An automated voice informs you that Mr. Smith is busy, but to please leave a message after the tone. A shrill beep sounds, prompting you to begin.
"Hello, my good man! I am calling you to inquire into obtaining the position of 'senior graphics consultant'. I was sipping my tea when your advertisement caught my eye. I would find it quite diverting to find myself under your employment. Please meet me at 8764 Peachtree Drive. Thankee!"
You amaze yourself with your ability to feign Englishness. Thank goodness you took that course on acting back in college.
You snicker at giving your boss the wrong address; there is no 8764 Peachtree Drive, as the last house on the street is 8760. In order to keep your boss too busy to fire you, you decide to have all of your friends call him as well, giving him nonexistent addresses all across town. Hopefully, this will buy you enough time to find another job, so you can quit instead of being fired. Genius! But where will you look for work?
