But this feeling of euphoria was soon cut short.
I was asked to report to the board room the one day and fearing the worst, I tidied up my desk and slowly walked across the mezzanine walkway and knocked on the door.
To my surprise I hadn’t made mistakes with the ledgers and journals. I was being offered a sales cadet’s job and a company car to use when seeing customers at night.
"a car salesman!
a car salesman!"
I remember mum shrieking when I told her about my new position that evening,
"a car salesman!
Oh my God why?
What happened?"
I wondered if my dear old mum would have been as animated if I had said “a bank robber” or a “professional hit man” or even a Collingwood supporter.
But “my God! a car salesman!......
That was worse, much worse.
I remember years later when in conversation with my youngest brother Alistair, my mum came across the room, interjected, and said, "don't you mind a word he's saying Alistair, remember he's a car salesman, he'll tell you anything"
Thanks mum!
