Testing ... testing ... 1,2, Mook

I went to write a test for a term job with the government yesterday. They said we can't talk about the test but never said we couldn't talk about the people who came to write it. :)

The test was for a supervisory job dealing in many cases with the public. 5 of the 50 people who came to write it could easily have been mistaken for homeless people. Their clothes were scruffy and in 2 cases dirty. They wore ball caps. Now I am not saying you needed to be dressed to the 9's for this but at least look presentable.

It was kind of funny watching people file in and take a seat, I was the first. Everyone gravitated towards a back seat, myself included, and then started filling to the front. One guy who sat in the row in front of me should never have sat there.

As the proctor started giving instructions he would keep asking her to speak up. He couldn't hear because of papers shuffling. He couldn't hear because she didn't speak loud enough. He couldn't hear because of people shifting in their seats. Well, he couldn't hear properly period and never should have sat at the back of the room.

No one else had a problem hearing her, just this guy. Do you think he would move to the front? Of course not. You think he would address questions to the proctor during the test? Of course not, he kept bothering the people around him until "someone" told him to be quiet. That he heard. You think someone who was that hard of hearing would sit in the front. Of course not if he is a mook.
