Capítulo 2: Job interview
"Hi. No hello yeah that sounds better. Hello my name is Jonathan Duchin. I'm a hard worker that your team needs. I am a fast learner and will go above and beyond. Your expectations of hard work if you give me a chance too. I also strive to be early to work everyday." Jonathan said into the small mirror by his back door. He felt great having rented a black suit for his interview. His hair looked nice. Short had a little messiness to it but you could tell it was deliberate. Jonathan told himself to give himself encouragement," this is it. This is the time I get the job I can just feel it." He walked out of his apartment. Going down an old looking hall and left through the bare front door that four other family's used.
Having taken a cab to the new workplace acting mentally that he's already got the job. He paid for the cab and the driver and passenger went their separate ways. Jonathan felt a terrible feeling in his gut but pretending to feel nothing he walked inside. At the front desk a lady sat typing away madly. Walking up to the pretty lady he leans on the counter and says," well good morning beautiful names Jonathan I'm here for an interview. Can you direct me to where I need to go?" " Good morning Jonathan. My name is Amelia, not beautiful. You need to go up to the four floor. When you get out of the elevator, go left. It should be the only open door." Amelia had said shutting down his false confidence. Not giving her the satisfaction of breaking him he said,'' well thanks. See ya later." Winking he walked towards the elevator. It was broken. Shocked that the elevator was broken he heard Amelia yell," oh I totally forgot. The elevator is broken. You need to take the stairs." Smiling Jonathan walked up the stairs. At the fifth floor Jonathan felt like she had put the sign on there before he showed. Just to spite a man who she had yet to meet.
Slightly winded on the fifth floor Jonathan went to open the door off the stairs. It didn't open, looking around he noticed a key card scanner." Ugh why did I forget that it's the fourth floor not the fifth." He turned around to see a timid looking man holding a stack of papers. Jonathan reacted too slowly and collided with the timid man. The papers went flying everywhere. Jonathan helped him pick everything up," oh dude I'm sorry I didn't mean to bump into you. I just remember my interview was on the fourth floor. So I turned around quickly. I'm probably going to be late. So I might as well clean up my own mess. Well there go you go good as new." Jonathan said as he picked up the papers. The man thanked him and went through the door. Jonathan paused for a minute trying to think did he just get through that door without swiping his key card. Figuring he probably just didn't see the man swipe the card. Jonathan walked down a floor and through the door. Took a left and found the first room with an open door. It was empty with the lights on and a sign saying interview room/break room. Jonathan sat down and patiently waited for the interviewer. While waiting he couldn't help but hum the rhythmic tune of the humpty dance.
"Why do I hear the humpty dance?" A man said that he walked into the interview room. The same man from the stairwell walked in." Oh my I hope you weren't waiting for too long." I got caught up talking to someone. My name is Cyrus Ralph. I'll be your interviewer for today. I've already looked at your resume. I'm quite pleased to see you will fit in quite nicely with our requirements. And I appreciate someone who's kind when it's not necessary. " Hello Mr Ralph, I just want to say I had no idea who you were back there. It's what people should do to help if they can. But if we may, can we start the interview? I'm ready for any question you throw at me." Jonathan said, giving off the same false pride. Chuckling Cyrus said,''Well we can use the first name Jonathan. Call me Cyrus or Ralph but don't add the mr. Know your first question. Let's see. What color is the Aurora borealis?" Jonathan got confused thinking," why is this a question that has nothing to do with accounting." " ummm Cyrus the answer is green? If you don't mind, why did you ask such a weird question?" Cyrus leaned forwards and responded fast," well your right and wrong they can be green, blue, violet, yellow and every now and then white or orange. As for the question I asked that because you said you are ready for anything. You didn't seem so ready. Unless you meant ready for any question remotely related to accounting." Saying that last part as he rubbed his clean shaved chin.
The interview went well and Jonathan had to wait a few days to find out if he got the job. On his way home he took the bus. It was weird being on a bus with a three piece suit. Having gotten home Jonathan changed into street clothes. His favorite thing was writing while sitting on his front stairs outside. While Jonathan wrote about a superhero couple that saved a major city from disaster. A feeling in his gut told him to grab his pencil. When he did the lead inside the pencil disappeared slowly. Jonathan panicked, throwing the empty pencil into the street. After his heart race slowed he got up to check out the discarded utensil. The wood was there but the lead was gone as well as the ferrule. Confused Jonathan went into his house and went to his pencil collection. He had saved them since he was little. Some of them were as short as the tip and ferrule. Touching the unsharpened ones he watched them all dissolved leaving the eraser and the wood."what's going on why is this happening to me!" Jonathan started his box breathing trying to avoid panic. He had a thought as he turned back to his collection. If he touched his little pencils would they dissolve as well. It didn't make a sound. But he didn't want to dissolve his childhood memories. So with his hands hovering over them he lifted it up." Nope, not touching it."
After a little while the feeling to touch the pencils stopped so he grabbed a new one and it didn't dissolve. Hmm weird.
