So when I was about 15 I decided to get a summer job to fund my movie and arcade game addiction.
I was not fresh but I was not exposed to this gaalo world that I will get myself into.
Anyways after applying for sales jobs, one decided to call me in. I told them more lies than obese boy Dahir Alasow.
So they told me to go with another group of 6 including a Scottish who was new to Australia. All day I did not understand a single word he said.
Anyways they loaded us to mini-bus and took us across Melbourne.
I never being to the area before they took us. Melbourne is huge place in terms of land and can take 1.5 hours or more to get from one end to another with average 100 km/hr.
After they dropped us, they gave a bag and said "Mr geeljire that side of the street is yours, let us meet once we finish each section here again".
So I dragged my bag and knocked on the doors of all these businesses; Hi, I'm geeljire, wondering if you interested Christmas Stockings. Inyar oo ii so qaybsiiyen xata ma ogi stocking wax la dhaho and Christmas is not even on my mind.
Hot hot Australian summer.
Cid wa iga iibsan wayday apart from a lady who placed order for 30 or so.
So the goal was we were to sell it only to biz so they may order bulk.
I got mad after 10 doors. Aad ban uu xanaqaay. That's when I saw a bus stop. I had a ticket.
I waited 15 minutes and the bus came. Jumped in, dragged my gaalo bag in and looked forward to home dee.
After 2.5 hours I got home. My parents wondering waxan jidaayo.
My neighbour was there too and he was in his late 20s.
When I opened the bag he saw all these Christmas things and said it out loud---xaged ka keentay waxan gaalada!!!
My whole fam start shouting hognaaaay way iga gaalobeeeen jabayaaaayyyy aniga dhiintaaayaaaaY....wa lesku so baxay dee.
I had to tell em.
Never did door to door sales again.
The office called my cell phone more than 20 times. After 5 hours I told them I was home. They calacaal why you left, we were worried, bla bla.
The stockings man.
