Unacceptable positions
When I was 22 I did some secretarial cover for a small company my boss Tony was fantastic and he felt quite bad that he was going to have to let me go (as the person I was covering for was coming back to work).
Anyway he said he`d ask around if anyone had any work for me.
Maybe its good to mention here that at this time I was also working as an artist`s model in the evenings which Tony did know about and for the unlightened artists models generally work naked.
Well a couple of weeks before I was due to leave Tony told me a guy he used to work with was in need of some secretarial work and it was a permanent position.
So an interview was arranged this was at meeting room at a local hotel for the next afternoon.
I turned up and this guy met me in the reception and immediatley asked me if I`d already had lunch as he hadn`t and he would much rather talk to me in less formal settings, ok thats fine by me.
So we order lunch and he`s chatting away I try to ask him about the possition that he has available and he`s asking me wether i think that this vintage is better than that one.
The best I get out of him is I really want to see if I can get along with you as Tony has already asured me of your compitance.
So I`ve now been talking to this guy for over an hour and I can`t get him to really tell me anything this job he`s all ordering coffee and asking me if I want a conjaq with that I don`t but he gets me one anyway.
Anyway by this point I`m convinced there`s no job he just wanted to have a pretty girl to eat lunch with.So I ask him straight what exactly is the possition your offering and he starts telling me how theres a flat included with the job and I`d be basically doing anything that needs doing, and very slimely says to me Oh you seem like a very flexible girl I`m sure you can manage to get yourself in to any manner of possitions (YUK).
Right I`m thinking so basically your offering the possition of bouncing on your knee time to make your excuses and get fek out of dodge.
So I say to him that I`m really not sure that what he was offering was what I was looking for at this he changed tact and told me how he had a room booked upstairs and he had bought me lunch and all. Then I got anyway your a bit of a go`er cos I heard about all that so called modelling you do, don`t you want to come and work for me I can pay what ever you want you dont even have to do any secretarial work if you don`t want to!!!!
At this point I`m gone not before telling him that he`s giving me 50quid for my taxi home.....Tony was very sorry but did find it hilarious and the last I heard was taking the piss out of this guy at every oppourtunity all he said to me was you should of got the dirty old tosser to give you a 100quid for the taxi!!
