Tease and Thank you
The new year at the college is in full swing. Business is picking up, and its time to hire a few college kids as part timers. I will never understand the entitlement of college students. How does $16 an hour for a job where you literally sit down, ring up customers, and have plenty of time to study or do homework not appeal to these guys? We put up flyers in the windows, a craigslist add, and then we wait. With Julie's schedule split between a few businesses, we decided to block off half a day for interviews. We had five potential candidates lined up; they were phone screened knew what the job was about agreed to the interview. So maybe just maybe two or three would show up. Yeah, we shared an office but not a desk. My desk was an old metal teachers' desk from the 70's faded to the point where you could no longer tell if it was once avocado green or marigold yellow. Comparatively her desk was solid wood, longer than I was tall and probably belonged in the West Wing.
We both comfortably fit behind her desk, we had our notebooks out, pens ready. We took turns asking questions. Julie stuck to getting to know you type questions. I asked questions that probed common sense thinking, hypothetical what ifs, and how would you handle. I am really good and weeding out idiots and slime balls, it easy you just let them talk they will reveal themselves. We were going over the first application. Everything seemed ok. Junior at the college, worked in a supermarket, front end cashier, still employed but out of state for college. Our morning person called up letting us know he was here, and he was 10 minutes early, impressive, I told her to show him up. Tank top, and shorts just a little shorter than I am used to on a guy. I was done with him when the first thing he said was what up bro? Julie was too nice and decided to go through the interview.
We went back and forth with the guy, unfortunately he liked to talk, and he ratted himself out a few times. On my side of the desk Julie was keeping things interesting. Today was one of the rare times she dressed like she was still an exec at a fortune 500 company. A nice pencil skirt with quite a healthy slit. Cute Maryjane style dress shoes with a chunky wooden heel. A barely see through white blouse, that showed hints at what she was wearing underneath. And most curiously nylons, I have never seen her wear them before, were they thigh highs or pantyhose? I was hoping to find out. Julie spent the interview letting the skirt ride up her legs. It was moving up slowly as she opened and closed her legs. A torturous show because it was so hard to not stare and pretend to be professional.
We wrapped up the interview with a we have a few others to interview, we get back to you non-committal response. Julie walked him out. I stayed in the office. I looked at her notes from the interview and very little was written down. The ones that stood out were no, dumb, and I caught you peeking with a smiley face. She was back in the office moments later, instead of taking a seat she leaned on her desk right in front of me. It took everything I had not to run my hands up her legs. Looking at her skirt, which was at eye level with me I noticed there were three buttons between the slit and the promised land.
"So, what were you thinking about during the interview?" she asked.
I looked at her in those piercing blue eyes, smirked and said.
"I was wondering if those nylons were thigh highs or pantyhose."
I gave her a piercing stare of my own.
"And which are you hoping for?"
I retorted with "I'm just hoping to find out."
She undid one button giving me a bit more slit to work with and sat down in her chair.
"You tea.."
The phone rings again, next candidate was here 15 minutes early.
"Son of a bitch." I muttered under my breath.
This next guy was a senior at the business school. He was finishing his under grad and wanted some work experience before applying to internships over the summer. This guy was the exact opposite of the last guy. Who wears a sports coat to interview at a convenience store, what a little kiss up. I noticed Julie was doing a lot of talking but was taking notes. I glanced down from my notebook watching her slowly running the button end of her ink pen up the sides of her thighs. With one button undone the sequel show was better than the first. When it was my turn to ask questions, I would keep my eyes down in my "notebook" pretending to write notes. I did actually write a few. Very punchable face, kiss up, and you tease. This time I walked him out. I knew we were probably going to hire the little shit.
When I got back upstairs Julie broke into a fit of laughter. Very punchable face got her.
