A gift from Adonai
I interviewed mid-week for the commission-only sales job with the podunck "art" gallery, and after being hired on the spot, I reported to the gallery for my first day of work the following day.
There had just been a staff meeting, and a messy lunch. And in the middle of the lunch table, there it was! A new, blue, 6 gb IPOD! I didn't know what it was doing there, so I quickly, quietly, and meekly approached the magic ipod -- the EXACT model and color I had been lusting after. And I put it into my bag.
It was only the next day at "work" when NOBODY mentioned an Ipod did I KNOW the Ipod was a gift to me from Adonai.
The "job" wasn't as real... I immediately went to Fry's Electronics yesterday to follow up on my week-old application. The director of human resources KNEW my name, and promised that her asst. would be calling me next week to schedule an interview.

One can only wonder who the IPOD was stolen from or how much semen our heroine swallowed to earn it.

So I'd like to know what the job really was...I mean how could it not be real? I'm not so nieve to realize that there are jobs a person could be hired for only to realize later that they are just scams, but I'm curious.

How Will you be able to work in an electronics store w/o thinking that everything in the store is "A gift from Adonai"

good point, Depeche. But the IRONY of that EXACT ipod I'd lusted after showing up in front of me is just TOO weird to be anything but God! And as I have demonstrated through my life, when I have a SALARY, shoplifting isn't an issue.

The art job was about selling authentic paintings, bought INSANELY cheaply from Southeast Asian art schools, and re-selling the canvasses at outdoor art exhibitions, for anywhere from $50 to 1,000.
The indivual salesperson would know their lowest POSSIBLE price, and mark it up depending on the pockets of the possible client, and see how high they could go.
Yeah, I'd rather be selling electronics!
