Mama's boy(must read!!!)
As I will be moving to Australia in July this year I have recently been scouting for part-time jobs in the A/V field. I got some e-mails yesterday and wrote off a handful of mails.
Anyways, I came across this on a forum today. Guy advertising for a sales position and the applicant's mom applies for him!!!!

Dear Mr. Rio,
I think it's about time my boy Philip had a real job. He's been
running a
muck since he moved to Sydney and I'm sure that cramped and damp
little
bed-sit flat isn't doing him any good either. He doesn't have any
friends
up there and a job in Melbourne would mean he can come and live closer
to
his mum where I can keep an eye on him.
Phillip says he's an expert on hi-fi. He's got one of those CD
thingies he
bought back in 1983 which he still uses, built his own speakers from a
kit
and he uses an amplifier he fixed up after collecting it from the
verge
throw out a couple of years ago. I noticed in your advertisement that
you
will offer to train him. Just as well, because just between me and
you I
think he has a bit of catching up to do.
He writes to me every so often and says his toaster fixing business
isn't
doing too well so I'm hoping you might consider giving my boy a job in
your
store. He isn't too keen on that HT stuff but I'm sure you will bring
him
to his senses sooner of later. He doesn't have good people skills
even
though he has frequently said "...all my posts are brilliant examples
of
communication, either on some technical point related to hi-fi..... ".
Perhaps you can find him a job keeping the storeroom tidy where no one
will
hear him swearing?
I hope you don't sell Quad speakers. Philip isn't very good at those.
A
couple of years back he bought a pair while I was up visiting him in
his
Sydney bed-sit. Within hours of getting them home he was taking one
of them
apart with a screwdriver. There was this terrible sparking and a
small puff
of smoke came out of the back of one of them. Frightened the hell out
of
me. It didn't work after that. Philip assured me the speaker must
have been
faulty and was going to take them back first thing next week and
demand his
money back.
Now I know my Philip is devoted to his work. He's never been married
and
doesn't have a girlfriend, although I'm not completely sure of that,
as
there was a pink tutu hanging in his wardrobe along with some red
glitter
stiletto shoes. Anyhow Philip has never mentioned her and I surely
have not
been introduced.
Philip's Education:
Catholic schooling
4 years of Latin 1
University drop out.
Please, please, please give my Philip a meaningful job. Heaven knows
he
needs the money and a way to usefully occupy his time.
you can reach him on 02 9799 8242
Sincerely,
Mrs. Allison (Phil's mum).
