When you’re not sure what you should do…

When you’re not sure what you should do, always go with what you think is the wrong decision, or what makes you laugh…

I guarantee your life will be much more interesting. So, you might end up in prison, but just think of the stories you’ll have! Sure, you can always pick what you think would be the best decision…but your life will be really boring…and normal…which is boring. 

As an example, I remember going to a job interview, for a pretty high level job, and I was trying to decide what tie to wear, I was torn between a red power tie, and and a black one, with a chicken on it, wearing an Oakland Raiders football helmet, I think he might have had a beer in his, I guess wing, and he was stomping, I forget which opponents, player. I knew it was wrong, but I am dumb, and it made me laugh, so I just had to wear the Chicken tie.

I actually got the job, and the VP told me, you know why I gave you the job? I said, because I told you I could do absolutely everything we talked about that you were hoping to accomplish? Which I always do, and I pretty much have no idea how to do anything they are asking me they would like to accomplish? lol. He laughed and said no, because I couldn’t believe the balls on this guy, who wears a tie with a chicken wearing an Oakland Raiders helmet, stomping someone to an interview??!! We both laughed pretty hard, and ended up becoming really good friends…

I think I have done the same type of thing for any job I ever interviewed for, mostly, I try to make the interviewer laugh, if they are laughing, you are in, if they don’t, you probably really don’t want to work there anyway…but I’m a weirdo…maybe you should do the boring thing…but then you’ll have to pretend to be that person the whole time you are there…I find the more you just be exactly who you are, the more success you have…
