So the other day I went to a nearby town and took a test for a job with the city. There were approximately 50 people there and I sat next to a lovely woman. The woman wasn't very chatty, but as the test was about to begin our eyes met she said, "Good Luck!".
I've been thinking about that ever since. We both are there and testing for the same position. To me she is, in effect saying, "I've arranged my day to be here for this 2 hour test...but may the God of good fortune and luck smile and shine down on you as you ace this test and take the job that I too have come here to test for."
Well some may say that she was just being polite and that I am just being too touchy about it. But to me, it isn't polite to tell someone something that you really don't mean. I firmly believe that she was there to take the test, do her best and to land that job if at all possible.
"Good Luck!"...really?
