a story to think about, as you drive to work tommorow.
if a man orders a tossed salad, a diet soda, and a vegan entree as the main course, what do you think the chances are of him landing a job at the local golf course during winter season?
bear in mind, ofcourse, golf is a seasonal game. played outdoors, players enjoy being outside on warm even sunny days. winter usually means snow and cold temperatures, and leads to unfavourable golfing conditions.
perhaps if i told you this man in question is also a roman catholic. not super devout, but a catholic nevertheless. he's experiencing marital problems at the moment, but nothing the two of them cant get over.
does this make him less desirable as an applicant?
the man in question is 34 years of age, and has no serious health issues. a vegetarian, the stanford graduate has always strived for excellence in everything he has ever attempted, including weight lifting, boxing, and gardening.
but i ask you, the committee, is this man suitable for a winter position at the local golf club? someone with a 4.0 gpa, a diploma with distinctions, and a previous job working as the national security advisor for kaiser wilhelm the third in the german cabinet might not find this new job stimulating. or would he? how could you be sure?
the man in question has informed us in his application he excretes on average one to two times a day, and urinates anywhere between three to five times throughout a 24 hour period. very normal, sure, but does the golf course want to take on the extra cost of toilet paper, toilet maintenance, etc. by hiring this gentleman? perhaps we could find someone who has a larger blattus (balls mccone) and wouldnt need to waste company time on the throne?
finally, in his upcoming interview, weve asked the interested applicant if hed be interested in serving as an auxillairy security officer on holes number 6, 11, and 15. randy, as always, plans on returning for the winter shift, but requested for a backup officer for those three holes specifically. the man in question said he has never worked in law enforcement to any extent, but still believes he has the power to keep the peace through extensive negotiation tactics he learnt during his four year stint in harvard. is verbal communication and conflict resolution tactics enough to keep our course in optimum condition during the winter season?
id like to hear your thoughts. we need to be ready when the man comes through the door.
