The receptionist trick…am I wrong this.
The fake receptionist trick I am all sure you have heard the of receptionist trick/story Man walks in for an Interview, treats the receptionist like crap and it turns out the receptionist was the interviewing manager.

I'm always polite with them but the only thing I thought sligty odd was they asked me if I was nervous for the interview. Not overally odd just thought it was a bit personal.

I was so thrown , like why would she sit in the room with me…

Epiphany Alert: Life or Death?
The lady sat down in seat 14C. We glanced across the empty 14B between us and introduced ourselves. We'd been told there would be a delay before takeoff, so of course, conversation ensued… Inevitably, The Question came up: “So, what do you do?”, she asked. “Whatever I want, whenever I can.”, was my rather glib answer. She looked at me strangely. Then, “No, I meant for a Living! What do you do for a Living?” “Ah, of course.
