0:00:06.473,0:00:07.222
Anyway,

0:00:07.222,0:00:08.692
I'd been looking for a job for a while

0:00:08.692,0:00:09.844
One evening I couldn't take it any more

0:00:09.844,0:00:12.362
I sent 254 copy-pasted emails[br]to all the businesses nearby

0:00:12.362,0:00:14.413
If I'm doing a boring job[br]Might as well be near home

0:00:14.413,0:00:15.234
Only one rang me back

0:00:15.234,0:00:16.272
I didn't know which job it was for

0:00:16.272,0:00:17.431
But I replied sincerely [br]

0:00:17.431,0:00:19.663
"It would be an honour to join your team"

0:00:19.663,0:00:21.843
I hung up. [br]I typed the name of the company into Google

0:00:21.843,0:00:25.366
It was either an STD, a branch of the UN[br]or some guys who rent out photocopiers[br]

0:00:25.704,0:00:26.992
"Guys who rent out photocopiers"

0:00:27.473,0:00:29.455
I was well prepared[br]I had printed out my CV

0:00:29.455,0:00:31.522
In the 'Leisure' section[br]I wrote that I liked kayaking

0:00:31.522,0:00:32.354
I'd never been kayaking

0:00:32.354,0:00:33.932
But I like palindromes

0:00:34.222,0:00:37.924
I was wearing the suit I wear[br]to weddings, funerals and interviews

0:00:37.924,0:00:39.283
Next to me there was this guy

0:00:39.283,0:00:40.932
He seemed weird[br]He was too put-together

0:00:40.932,0:00:42.542
I thought he must be hiding something

0:00:48.142,0:00:49.863
The boss called my name [br]We sat down

0:00:49.891,0:00:51.793
I looked at his tie,[br]It had Goofy on it [br]

0:00:51.804,0:00:53.742
I wondered if he'd really gone into a shop and said: [br]

0:00:53.902,0:00:56.432
"Hello, I'd like a Goofy tie becauase I'm insane"

0:00:56.432,0:00:57.275
That made me laugh

0:00:57.275,0:00:59.634
He saw me laughing but he thought it was because his tie was cool

0:00:59.634,0:01:00.755
He asked; "Do you speak English'

0:01:00.755,0:01:01.443
I said 'Yes'

0:01:01.443,0:01:02.523
The he asked;[br]"Where are you from?"

0:01:02.523,0:01:03.533
I answered: 'Yes'

0:01:07.301,0:01:07.877
<i>Fluent English</i>

0:01:07.877,0:01:09.103
He asked me what my biggest weakness was

0:01:09.103,0:01:09.932
I was torn between:

0:01:09.932,0:01:12.253
Shy, neurotic, obsessive, cowardly, depressive, lazy, liar

0:01:12.253,0:01:13.352
I answered: 'Perfectionist?'

0:01:13.681,0:01:14.694
Really it was 'Liar'

0:01:14.694,0:01:16.433
He said: 'You like kayaking?'

0:01:16.433,0:01:17.171
I said; 'Yes'

0:01:17.171,0:01:18.692
He said 'Sea kayak or river kayak?'

0:01:18.692,0:01:20.233
I said...

0:01:21.593,0:01:23.411
Did you notice it's a palindrome?

0:01:25.873,0:01:27.352
He crossed out 'kayaking'

0:01:27.352,0:01:28.562
He said 'We'll be in touch'

0:01:28.562,0:01:30.040
I heard 'Go fuck yourself'

0:01:30.040,0:01:31.431
Anyway, I went to a job interview
