An atypical job interview
Yesterday, I interviewed for a job with the City of Toronto. An HR gal and the person I presume would be my manager ushered me into a little room and we sat around a little table. Placed in front of me was a sharpened pencil and a 8.5" x 11" pad of paper, 'in case I wanted to take some notes during the interview'.
The interview consisted of 6 questions, which I was assured were the same 6 questions all the applicants for this particular job were asked.
At the end, I peeled off the sheet of paper I had written on and moved to put it with the rest of my documents when the HR gal said, 'I am sorry but I am going to have to confiscate that' and tucked the sheet into her notes.
They denied they wanted it for hand-writing analysis, but what other possible reason is there for this odd behaviour?
Is it possible a hand-writing sample is like hair or finger-nail clippings, and can be used for voodoo hexes or other occult phenomenæ?
If voodoo practitioners or other unsavoury cultists have infiltrated the City of Toronto, then we are all in big trouble, especially since the City of Toronto is so heavily unionised.

Maybe they wanted your finger print....
So it was the pencil, all along.
The 'confiscation' was a misdirection.
I like the cut of your jib, anonymous.
Yours is the first truly insightful comment made on this blog since its hoary inception sometime in late 2005.
Bless you!
