Would I LIE TO YOU?

You know, when I used to go to job interviews in London and Manchester years ago, I was TERRIBLE at job interviews. I mean truly AWFUL.

I would sometime have 3 or 4 interviews for the same company, for the same role. And people would say. "Andy you are clearly a nice guy but...." (we don't want you).

I literally once had someone tell me (in a recruitment firm in Manchester who I won't name) that I would have to LIE for them if I worked for them. I didn't go back for the second interview.

And another firm, in the City of London, who purchased property as cheaply as they could from people who couldn't afford their mortgage payments. They told me they thought I was probably too nice to do the job. This was further highlighted when I realised I had their pen and asked them if they wanted me to come back with it. I clearly was too decent for that job too.

One day, this side of heaven I hope that being, or attempting to be a nice guy, will pay dividends, with people I mean. Yes, I sleep better at night. I don't care so much if I'm never filthy rich.

But one day, this side of heaven I hope that being, or attempting to be a nice guy, will pay dividends. I know it saves me a load of grief in some ways. I think God has literally saved me from unknown grief.

I am lucky to have a small handful of really good friends and my God, who blesses me richly.

Maybe that's enough.

I'm not saying I'm perfect, I can obviously think I'm right when I'm wrong. But when I KNOW I'm wrong, I do admit it.

I've known far too many people who you literally catch red handed lying and still they claim its not them. There's nothing more infuriating to me. Nothing.

Whilst we are on the topic of annoying personality traits.
