(Author’s note: There’s a lot of things going on, and my production of fiction hasn’t been very productive because of other factors. I shall have more stuff up soon, but at this time, all I am able to do is Fictioneers stuff. To which, here’s today’s offering.)

Do What You Do
by Miles H. Rost
“So, I noticed that you came in with only one shoe. What happened?”
Bridget Moroney bit her lip as the question hit her with full force. It was the one question she didn’t want to answer.
“Well, I was rushing to get here, and a man pushed me out of the way. My foot stepped onto a drain grate and the heel got stuck. I couldn’t pull it out.”
“Did you think of breaking off the heel?” the interviewer asked, her voice in disbelief.
“It wouldn’t have done much good. So I just took off my other shoe and walked the rest of the way here.”
“Where did you walk from?”
“56th and Broadway.”
The interviewer’s eyes bugged out.
“You’re hired.”

Miles, this was good!! I can totally relate! I needed this laugh today!!
I was hoping that would happen! Good on ‘ya ~ or her as the case may be.
Hasn’t happened to me. It’s all her. It’s an inspirational story.
That’s a good boss. I like Bridget too. 🙂
That’s one committed worker.
Good piece.
She’s dedicated to her goals, the boss/interviewer would be a fool not to hire someone like her. Great take on the prompt.
Determination won her the job! Nice story 🙂
Smart person to hire her!
She’s a task oriented woman, apparently.Glad she got the job. Nice story.
So that’s the secret of a successful interview. 🙂 That does show persistence, at least. Nice one.
HOnesty and perseverance…. Great qualities in a future employee! Well done!
