In a world without Ready Salted Chipsticks I am stuck in a dead end job


I can’t remember the last time I had a packet of Ready Salted Chipsticks. I didn’t realise at the time that it would be my last packet. The strong likelihood is that it was Two Packets, because as we all know, there is no such thing as One Packet of Ready Salted Chipsticks.

 

The craving for them has taken over my life somewhat. I never really used Twitter before. I didn’t have anything to say that was of particular interest. Now Ready Salted Chipsticks are all I post about (I’m really hoping it starts trending soon).

I’ve been thinking about getting a new job, so I did a quick search of myself online to see what my profile is and what prospective employers might encounter, and the most prolific thing on there now is my #readysaltedchipsticks. I’m now horribly worried that this will come up at an interview. I can see how it would go…

 

Interviewer: “So, you seem to be very vocal about Ready Salted Chipsticks. Why is that?”

Me: “They are the best crisp in the world, but unfortunately they’ve been discontinued. I’m hoping to bring them back”

Interviewer: (after a brief pause to measure up if I’m insane or not) “But there are still Salt and Vinegar ones, right?”

Me: *RAGE BLACKOUT* in which I can only assume that I ranted at them for 20 minutes on the fact that I don’t love Salt and Vinegar Chipsticks, in fact I outright despise them, and that they are not, never will be or should be a substitute for the wonder of the Ready Salted Chipsticks. I love Ready Salted Chipsticks, and to suggest that Salt and Vinegar are a suitable alternative is like losing your family dog and having it replaced with a goldfish.

Interviewer: (Confirmation of insanity received – WE WILL NOT EMPLOY THIS WOMAN!)

 

It made me wonder if I should bother looking for a new job. Or whether I should wait until the battle is won, and I can once again get the salty corn snack goodness of Ready Salted Chipsticks, making me a calm and reasonable person again.

  1. Would you even want to work for people who didn't understand such an important issue?
