I know you but I don’t know who

November 12, 2009 in Culture & Society, Jobs & Employment | No comments

I was transferring stuff from the van to our booth in UP Bahay ng Alumni last week when I saw a woman who I think I met from somewhere but I can’t recall where. I went asking my companions if they knew that woman while, at the same time, I am cracking my skull trying to figure out whether I really know her or it was just another fragment of my wild imagination. I believe this is similar to what Jessica Zafra call a “semi-celebrity.” Someone you recognize from somewhere but you don’t know exactly from where.

Two and a half days passed and I finally got the chance to speak to that woman. She informed me that she had been cracking her own skull thinking who I am or where she met me. It turned out that the woman was the one who interviewed me for a position in a well-known media company and was sad to inform me that the company free hiring and is now in the brink of extinction. Hahaha!

I’d like to hear that reason – that the interview went really well (she did promise to call me once the general manager arrive from a week-long sick leave) but the company suddenly decided to stop hiring – better than to know that they finally found someone fit for that position and that I was not able to meet their qualifications.

Anyway, were selling similar items in that UP Bazaar and probably we’ll meet again in another bazaar at the Our Lady of Lourdes Parish.

So see you there!
