Have you ever done or said something so ridiculously stupid that you just want to cease to exist for a bit? Well, I have, but I didn't even realize I had said something stupid until my conversation with Kaylen last night. Let me preface the following conversation with a conversation I had about a month ago with the owner of Imaging Concepts, the person I interviewed with for my job. I'm not sure how we got on the conversation, but I was telling him how I could immediately tell he was LDS when he interviewed me because of the picture of Moroni he had hanging above his desk and how I felt comfortable being in that kind of environment.
Ok, so...last night Kaylen was surfing the net and a picture popped up, which was followed by the question, "I wonder why that picture of George Washington on his knees is so popular. Even Andrew (the boss at imaging concepts) has that hanging on his wall." Not looking at the picture Kaylen had up, I said "What? Don't you mean that picture of Moroni?" Well, after taking a look at the picture, the man kneeling by the horse has a grey wig on, a hat with three corners, and a colonial styled jacket. I mean, we're talking 18th century! I was staring right at George Washington before he crossed the Delaware, not Moroni burying the brass plates.
Can anyone see my confusion......anyone?.....At all?

George Washington...Moroni... So close really. ROFLOL!!! Did you ever find out if your boss was really LDS???!!!!???
ROFLOL!!!
Oh Sarah! You are so funny! To be honest....I can see how you could have confused the men. This is classic!
From one blonde to another, the likeness is uncanny!
Sarah, honest, I said the same thing to someone once... Not at a job interview, but I felt ridiculously stupid! It's just good to know that I am not the only one!! :)
That is really funny!
But I think it shows that perception is what counts. You thought it was Moroni and so you were probably more comfortable and presented yourself better in the interview. So there is a bright side to it!
HAHAHAHAHA! Thanks for all the nice comments! LOL
I can totally relate. I'm dying of laughter!!!
thats hilarious! nice to see you in blogland. :)
