When I opened up a letter for a job interview yesterday, I figured the universe had read my blog and was taking pity on me. Not so. Instead, it was amused by rantings and decided to extend my suffering.
About 4 months ago I applied to a firm based solely on the name, never actually expecting to hear anything from them in return. Well, I now have an interview scheduled with Klutz & Reamer, LLP.
I mean, I'm really at a loss here. How exactly do I tell them I applied solely because they have an absolutely ridiculous name? Can I get some suggestions on this? I've got about two and half weeks to figure this out.
The best (worst?) part is that I'll be meeting the partners, so I'll actually be shaking hands with Mr. Klutz and Mr. Reamer while trying to maintain eye contact. I honestly don't think it's possible to say "It's my pleasure, Reamer" without laughing hysterically. Hell, I'm laughing just typing it. This could be bad.
One bright spot: If I do land the job, I might be able to institute a gesture unique to the company that its members can use as a show of force. Since we sound so much like "Clutch & Ream Her," I envision grabbing a pair of imaginary hips in front of you while pulling back hard on them. Kind of like the crotch-chop (one of my personal favorites), but more graphic. It's fun, try it! Now imagine it in a suit.
Sounds ridiculous? Take it up with my friends... Klutz & Reamer.
