Not quite sure if I mentioned it in yesterday's blog but I interviewed Jesus for a job. There! You don't hear that every day! Well not the real Jesus of course but Jesus the IT guy who in a strange divine way turned out to be a Saviour in his very own right!
Right although I don't want to turn this blog into a running commentary about me and my life, and believe me I don't. There has been a general curiosity from the readership as to exactly what I actually do. For many it has long been a mystery for most of my life as to what I actually do. So in a bid to put those individuals out of their misery let me explain... I work for Her Royal Majesty's secret service as a global information operative, which is a covert way of saying SPY. And yes I always wear a black tuxedo, with a bow tie even to bed. The standard issue Aston Martin DBS is at hand also, well I say standard but I requested white being in the Middle East and the weather and what not... Not buying?? Thought as much so here is the real job, I am working in IT believe it or not the motivating factor for me was the lack of Asian representation within this particular industry just like in the medical and finance professions respectively ;-). And for those who want me to be even more specific I am involved in enterprise storage for CCTV, data archiving and digital media. So not as dramatic as the role I was offered by HRM but I felt I would prefer the less hazardous occupation seeing as I am closing in on the big 30.
So, let’s get back to Jesus and how he became my savior. We are going to be exhibiting at a conference here in Dubai called Inter-Sec and I have been struggling for weeks to find a good technical engineer with the relevant experience. And just when I thought I would never find one in time for the exhibition, low and behold Jesus came to me... Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!
My respect for this individual was already at attention. After all you don’t name your son after the messiah unless you think he’s a bit special right?? So I gave him the benefit of the doubt and when I welcomed him as ‘Eesus’ (the common pronunciation in South American) hoping that he affirm and I wouldn’t have to actually call him Jesus. He responded by saying ‘Actually it is Jesus’, right I thought let’s see just how special you are.
Turns out true to his name he was rather special, well not special enough to bring the dead back to life, but special enough to land himself the job. So please join me in giving a virtual round of applause to Jesus the presale engineer!
And on that little note I shall take my leave for this evening, I know that you whittle your nails away all day long till they are no more in anticipation of my posts but I have had an excruciatingly long day and I assure you that tomorrow I will post a really nice long one that will send you to sleep.
Oh and I must mention happy birthday to Shella who was 28 today although she could still pass off as a 15 year old. You know she brought not 1 not 2 not 3 but 4 cakes to the office for her birthday today! And they were big old cakes, got a feeling I might call in sick on the 23rd of this month… I really should stop being so cheap J
Goodnight world xx
The Special one!
