I remember one swine who was required to interview for jobs he didn’t want to do to get government benefits. When he showed up, unshaven, stinky, chewing gum, wearing dirty old clothes, carrying a copy of the communist manifesto (literally), using profanity in every sentence, and even tried to ruin the interview by claiming that he had been fired from his last job for stealing and threatening customers.
What he didn’t know was that the guy he was interviewing with had been a USMC Drill Instructor and *loved* to work with really hard cases. He kept a straight face, but could barely contain his glee.
He thanked him for interviewing for the job of light office work, and said he would call. He did, with a job offer, to the government employment office. And not for light office work, either.
They were surprised and the DI managed to even get a case worker to go to the swine’s apartment in the early morning to make sure he was ready to climb on the truck in work clothes promptly at 5am when they came to get him.
The DI let his hard working crew know that this guy was a slacker, and it was up to them to insure that he did his job, and not to let him quit until the day was through.
It was a very long day for the young man. Yet when they stopped by his apartment the next day, he was nowhere to be found.
