OK, this is bizarre but it is absolutely true. My sister worked at city hall and there was a summer program for teens that she was in charge of at the time. It was spring. I overheard her on the phone one day while I was waiting for her to be done so we could go to lunch one day.
The applications for the hundred or so city youth positions were rolling in. Some would mail them, and some would bring them in themselves after school, and put them in a special mail box on the first floor of the building. An interview was required, and was scheduled at the student's convenience - they would just call ahead with their time and show up. They could do it on the same day, or they could submit the application first and then have the interview later.
As I paced outside the small office I heard one end of her phone call. It was a student asking how the process works, and after explaining it to them a couple times to be sure they understood she said, "So just stick it in and let me know when you are coming."
20 years ago it happened, and we still laugh at it today...
