Luke Honnoraty and the interview

So Yesterday I got a call about a job I applied for to help me get some extra cash so i can move to Bristol next year with my lovely Girlfriend and start gigging allot more frequently.  They asked me if i would like to come into the offices and have a look around, meet some of the staff and get a feel of the place to see if i would like to work there. Then there would be a short 1st interview with the manager. I said yes and on my way I went.
So the offices were ok, the people should never have been allowed out of their homes and the lady showing me around kept trying to be funny or laughing at inappropriate moments.for example. " so I best show you all the fire regulations, we wouldn't want you all to burn to death now would we HAHAHAHA"
    ( Quick everyone smile and laugh as our life burns to nothing in the background, "yay this is funny" )


Anyway it wasn't to bad of a place and as something temporary for me to do until i move it was kinda ideal.
It was coming up to the interview part and the lady said to us, there's no need to turn your phones off in this office, we understand you have real lives and sometimes there are long breaks with very little to do, so you can text your friends go on facebook or whatever, all we ask is that your phone is on silent as no one wants to hear the crazy frog when they are trying to work "HAHAHA" (what a great joke you just made boring old lady) , so if you could just turn the volume down that would be great.  We all checked our phones were turned down and one by one went in for these brief interviews ( there were 5 of us in total ) I went in last and sat down and almost as soon as i had sat down my phone started to vibrate against the chair, I was asked if i wanted to get the phone, and declined saying I would call them back. about 3 seconds passed and it went again and it kept doing it constantly, In fact i had 15 missed calls and a text message in what was probably the shortest interview i have ever had. Through the whole thing i was thinking, "what if he thinks i have some sexy anal love egg fetish and i get off on setting them off in public places" I don't know why that was the first thing i thought he may be thinking but it kept going through my head, I just wanted to shout, "IT REALLY IS A PHONE IM NOT A PERVERT" I did manage to resist but kind of wish I had just answered the phone.
                                       ( not even relevant to the story but pretty cool eh? )

Who was ringing me I hear you cry?  LUKE HONNORATY, he had rang me once and as i didn't answer he thought I was having sex, so he was going to keep ringing me to annoy me... he even text me saying " I know you don't have a day job don't you love me? answer your phone"...
                                        (here is Luke with one of his many dildo's)

The best thing about the whole thing for me is that today I got an email from the company saying they have narrowed the position down to two people and that they will be asking me in for a second interview at some point over the next couple of weeks.
The lesson i have learnt here is that if you want to land a well paid job, shove some vibrating love eggs up your arse!!
