In which I am a security guard.

S: Aren’t you a receptionist?
M: Nope.
S: Yes you are! I know you are! Don’t lie to me!
M: I am a security guard.
S: Well that is the same thing. Don’t lie to me, please.
M: Except that I don’t answer phones. I watch surveillance cameras.
S: Well…So do I!
M: You have an interview. You don’t have a job. And no you wouldn’t, since when does reception at a small marketing firm require watching security cameras?
S: Since forever. You would know if you had ever worked before.
M: S, I have worked at no less than three different jobs since I was fourteen. One of which was a job as a receptionist.
