Today's Unlikely Fantasy

The next time I am interviewing for a job, and we get to the part where they say "Do you have any questions, Ms. Tron?" I will ask "In this job, will I have to answer the phone, ever?"

Then my interviewers will point to a person sitting at a desk - a well-groomed, pleasant-looking, sociable person whose every fiber is geared toward successfully interacting with a wide variety of strangers, who takes having his or her train of thought interrupted every two minutes in stride, who lives to answer the same question again and again, who can decipher conversations held on poorly transmitting cell phones, and they will say "No, that person there takes care of the phones. He or she just loves it!"

Then I will say, "I have no further questions. I'll take it."
