having recently attended a wedding, i was subjected to the reception dinner polite chat - which is always challenging at the best of times. in no time, i found myself asking the guy next to me what he did for a living. he responded with what i thought was “i work in monastries” - for some reason this registered in my head as he worked in a morgue?!?

i then spent a good 10 minutes trying not to look completely disturbed by his job but couldn’t help but show my surprise! i asked how he got in to the industry and he said that when he had finished his business degree, it was the easiest thing to get in to - much to my confusion.

literally 20 minutes later when the guy was chatting about it to someone else, i clicked that he had said mortgages rather than monastries! apparently he said that he has never had such an excited response to his job!!!

is it a sign of age when you start to lose your hearing???
