A man named Micheal Flarety SHOULD be a dancer.
Jamie Story!
Last sunday I spent a good part of the night talking to my friend Bob. (yes his name really is Bob! I always wanted a friend named Bob!) who I met on Christian Cafe/MySpace. He is pretty funny and kind of quarky.
The next morning I had a phone interview at 7am. So I woke up and went through the interview process. It went extreamly well, and I was asked to do a face to face interview on Friday.
Later that day I realized I hadnt saved Bobs number, and went through my caller id and saved it.
Almost a week goes by, and I am walking during my lunch break and decide to give Bob a call.
His answering machine picks up and says “hey this is Micheal Flarety, leave me a message and I will call you back”
What? Bob is kind of whacky, so without much thought I leave this message…
“Heh. Micheal Flarety. Like Lord of the dance? You are so silly. Did you give up your dream of nursing to become a dancer? What kind of name is Micheal Flarety anyways? Its kind of a gay if you think about it. A man named Micheal Flarety SHOULD be a dancer. Anyways, this is Jamie. The girl from the internet *giggle* You know myspace, christian cafe yada yada yada. It is frikin freezing out here so I thought I would call and distact myself. But I will talk you later… *mocking tone* Mr Micheal Flarety”
Later I am sitting at my desk and I am wondering why Bob would call himself micheal flarety. So I google “Lord of the dance” and see that HIS name is Michael Flatley.
What the hell?
Then who is Micheal Flarety? I google it without much luck then go back through my caller ID and realize to my HORROR that Micheal Flarety is the PRESIDENT of the company I was interviewing with.
And I just left him a long message MOCKING his name and telling him I am “Jamie from the internet”
Dear Lord. I had no idea what to do and called a few friends to ask and they all tell me to call him back and say it was a mistake.
So I call back and he ANSWERS. ANd I dont know what to say so I hang up.
Then he calls ME back. (this just keeps getting worse)
And I say “Hi I am Jamie, I interviewed with you on Monday and I accidently just left you a message I meant to leave my friend. It is an inside joke. And I dialed you instead”
And he says “What are you talking about?”
And I stammer “The message… I left…”
ANd he interrupts to say he hasnt checked his messages yet and he has no idea what I am talking about.
This is no good. So I just say “Ok have a good day” and hang up.
I dont think I will be getting that job.
Oh the messes I make.
(Tee Hee)
Can’t breathe. Jamie, your stories are priceless!
