Friday, eh?
Then:
Interviewer asks me “what is something about you that’s not on your CV?”
I answered (thinking I didn’t want and wouldn’t get this job) “one of the things that brought me to England was the vast number of gigs as I do amateur gig photography and this seems like a great place for it”.
No, I can’t remember exactly why I picked that example. Probably it was truthful and didn’t mention boobies.
Now:
(Fast forward through half a dozen Bitburger beers with the boss instead of lunch)
“So, photographed any good bands yet?”
Me, taken aback, “Well, I was working on getting a press pass for a band DUST, who are opening for Unheilig”
“Ah, so I take it they’re very heavy metal?”
Me, even more taken aback, “Ummm, Neue Deutsche Harte, yeah, like Rammstein” hoping for a blank face and for my manager to wander off.
“Oh, Rammstein" says my boss, “they’re funny, they remind me of a band I used to be into, Laibach…”
Early days yet, but I think I’m going to like it here. But that might be because I’m fuzzily drunk and can’t use my index fingers so am typing with 6 fingers and my thumbs. And the office closes in 14 minutes. Huzzah!
