So this is how people hand in CVs nowadays.

There are two people waiting to be seen in the pharmacy. Elderly, smiling and being patient as their Pharmacist deals with their prescriptions. 

Then this woman, decked out in black blazer and matching high heels, click-clocks her way past my two patients and to the very front and waves a piece of paper in my face.  Any closer and I could be eating it.

"CV!" she exclaims, accompanied by a cold nod of her chin before turning around and heading out the door. Awww, I was expecting a smile or a thank you. So this is how people hand in CVs nowadays.

I skim over what must be the world's most important document and sure enough it is a CV. From a 16 year old male. I'm guessing that woman was his mum. 

A few pointers, young man. 1) don't send your mum to hand in your CV 2) don't send your mum to hand in your CV and 3) don't send your mum to do anything for you, not with those manners. 

Thank you, madam. I'll be sure to file this in the bin.
