Only If All of The Photocopies Were Acceptable

Life might have been faster but there are so many norms, regulations, rules that one has to acknowledge that a easy thing is complicated beyond the boundaries. I’ve been a science graduate. And I graduated with flying colours. Based on my score sheet I was in the top five bracket in the merit list.

It’s been a decade from that time. About 5 years a go the building that I was living in caught on fire. I had to run for life. I all of a sudden recalled that all my degrees and tutorial certificates were in the closet. I returned to my apartment to fetch them but then before I could collect all those, a fire fighter without listening to me pulled me out. I was standing in front of the building witnessing my certificates blowing down to ashes, and I understand that he was just doing his work. Thank Heavens that I was insured for whatever loss I had to face in that fire accident but then I was destroyed as I lost some of my certificates in the accident. My graduation proofs, my degree, my mark sheet and the certificate of merit were now gone.

I had lately cleared the interview at this establishment company and I got through too. It was the job I have always wished for. The company was widely known and my designation was cool. However, the company is legendary for its extremely stick norms. They wouldn’t even bend their rules a little even if God wanted to go into the premises without an ID. Despite making the management understands about the situation where in I lost the certificates they would sympathise and move on exclaiming a rule is a rule, we want to have all your educational and experience certificates before you might join us. This is my knockoff handbag story.

I tried to dig deep to find some photocopies of the certificates that I lost in the fire and lucky I found one set. The following day I approached the management and presented the photocopies and I was so sure & assured that they might smile and say that you could join. To my constant surprise the head of HR department grinned and claimed son we don’t go for knockoff handbag. As I could not understand what he was exclaiming my precise words were excuse me? And he then for the next 30 mins babbled about the same. Standing in front of that, I felt lost woman.

The single thing that I was thinking about was that’s handbags the only thing that she could think of to ridicule at my situation? I was a little bit annoyed. Looking at my expression she added however we could consider this as a stop opening arrangement. How shortly you think you could get hands on the originals? Depending on the same we would have to give you the date of joining. Well! That was a relief, but I just wish only if photocopies were satisfactory as a knockoff handbag.
