I have done the most embarrassing thing ever. I am slightly mentally scarred by it.
Little bit of background info first:
So i applied for a job at the police corps yeah? So they called me back and wanted to have a interview. They sent me an e-mail with all the details which is cool and all, but in this e-mail they explicitly told me to bring:
1. My ID (this made sense)
and 2. My swimming diploma (this, however, didn't)
Every school in Holland does this. They give swimming lessons at a local pool to 5-6 year-olds and at the end they get a diploma (A, there's also B, C and a shitload more). This all mandatory.
Like any other little dutch kid, i had to do all this as well. But, at the end of the period i would always get an ear infection (due to the pool water). I've tried it twice, and both times i couldn't take the exam because i was sick.
So you've probably guessed it: I had to do it now. At 18....
Its an adult course (mainly for immigrants that have never seen water), and they also offer a speed course (I'm in a rush). I can swim perfectly fine, but they still had to check.
So there i was.... Among all these little 5 year old, getting swimming lessons. Fuck.
