You have intensely rehearsed for an interview for a job you have been desperately seeking for some time. You are dressed in your best suit looking dapper and feeling confident about your chance at obtaining an extremely well paying position with a prestigious company.

    You go to bed early and get a good night’s sleep.  The alarm clock rings and you catapult out of bed.

    Your excitement has spread throughout the house as your wife prepares a sumptuous breakfast and your children, who are already seated at the table, hum along with you as you sing the words to the tune,  “OH Happy Day.” The family dog is jumping up and down and wagging its tail with exhilaration.

    After finishing breakfast, you kiss the wife and the kids as you remind them to pray for your success. You arrive at the interview site, park your car, whisper small prayer to yourself and take a deep breath just before you get out of your car.

    With much excitement you jump out and skip from the parking lot to the main entrance of the office where you have your interview, but you fail to notice that something is out of place. You see people around you acting strangely, but you continue on your way.

    Ignoring the people, you spring-step directly into the path of a wayward skunk, inadvertently stepping on its tail.

    “Icky,icky…ooh.  A disastrous interview.
