The Wisdom of an Attractive Woman

I always thought that an extremely attractive and intelligent girl straight out of college would face a world of opportunity and happiness. But I was wrong. Life is full of surprises and some of them can be painful. I hate to be cynical but caution is the best defense against a world full of selfish people. Not all people are bad, but one must always be on the alert for people that will use you and throw you away like an old rag doll. I am wiser now, but it took a bad experience to gain that wisdom.

I was one of ten girls that were interviewed for what sounded like a great job. I waited for my next in a small lawyer's office that was beautifully decorated. The owner of the firm interviewed me and said he would let me know in a few days if I had the job. As soon as I got home the phone rang. It was the person that interviewed me; he said that if I were available I could come in the next day. I said I was, and that's how I started my first job.

My boss treated me like a princess. He took me out to lunch many times, and even left flowers on my desk. He often closed the office down and took me to ball games or long drives in the country. I never met such a great guy before; I loved every moment with him. It didn't take long before I was insanely in love. The next few months were full of happy days and nights. I couldn't get to my job fast enough.

One morning he called me into the office and told me that his business had gone bad and he might have to close down. He also said he had to let me go. I asked him if he would still see me, and he told me that he could no longer focus on a romantic relationship. I burst out in tears and left the office without saying goodbye. A few weeks later I returned to the office to pickup my personal belongings. And there he was with his arms around an attractive new secretary. I turned around and ran out of the office never looking back
This was how I ended my first job.
