The Recruitment

One day while walking down the street a highly successful Human ResourcesManager was tragically hit by a bus and she died. Her soul arrived up inheaven where she was met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter himself. "Welcome to Heaven," said St. Peter. "Before you get settled in though, itseems we have a problem. You see, strangely enough, we've never once had aHuman Resources Manager make it this far and we're not really sure what to do with you.""No problem, just let me in," said the woman."Well, I'd like to, but I have higher orders. What we're going to do is letyou have a day in Hell and a day in Heaven and then you can choose whichever one you want to spend an eternity in.""Actually, I think I've made up my mind, I prefer to stay in Heaven", saidthe woman"Sorry, we have rules..."And with that St. Peter put the executive in an elevator and it went down-down-down to hell.The doors opened and she found herself stepping out onto the putting greenof a beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country club and standingin front of her were all her friends - fellow executives that she had worked with and they were well dressed in evening gowns and cheering for her. Theyran up and kissed her on both cheeks and they talked about old times.They played an excellent round of golf and at night went to the country club where she enjoyed an excellent steak and lobster dinner.She met the Devil who was actually a really nice guy (kind of cute) and shehad a great time telling jokes and dancing. She was having such a good time that before she knew it, it was time to leave.Everybody shook her hand and waved goodbye as she got on the elevator.The elevator went up-up-up and opened back up at the Pearly Gates and foundSt. Peter waiting for her. "Now it's time to spend a day in heaven," he said. So she spent the next 24hours lounging around on clouds and playing the harp and singing. She hadgreat time and before she knew it her 24 hours were up and St. Peter came and got her."So, you've spent a day in hell and you've spent a day in heaven. Now youmust choose your eternity,"The woman paused for a second and then replied, "Well, I never thought I'd say this, I mean, Heaven has been really great and all, but I think I had abetter time in Hell."So St. Peter escorted her to the elevator and again she went down-down-downback to Hell.When the doors of the elevator opened she found herself standing in a desolate wasteland covered in garbage and filth. She saw her friends weredressed in rags and were picking up the garbage and putting it in sacks.The Devil came up to her and put his arm around her."I don't understand," stammered the woman, "yesterday I was here and therewas a golf course and a country club and we ate lobster and we danced andhad a great time. Now all there is a wasteland of garbage and all my friends look miserable."The Devil looked at her smiled and told..."Yesterday we were recruiting you, today you're an Employee.... !!"
