Doughnut = Job Interview

Yesterday, I spent most of my time sitting among the applicants in one of a known call center here in the Metro. One of their promotional teasers were doughnuts ... yes its doughnuts not donuts and of course it means Krispy Kreme.

I was having fun with words in my mind how to write a blog about that experience... that I end up groping with words (shame on me that time) actually I was not with the job order I was aiming with my cravings for the Krispy Kreme freebies but it seems that they don’t have it on the table to give out those applicant's who will pass... as they say Kreme of the Crop but where's the doughnuts?

Focusing with the freebies... I was not aware of the interview; well guess that BPO's really not for me as of the moment. So I just day dream with my favorite doughnuts. Who could focus on the job offer where you do picture your self munching that Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles viand of Krispy as if you can taste it on the tip of your tongue? As I day dream for sweet reward, it made me wonder the origin of doughnuts?

Doughnut is a fried dough food and is popular in many countries and prepared in various forms as a sweet (or occasionally savory) snack that can be homemade or purchased in bakeries, supermarkets, and food stalls, and franchised specialty outlets. They are usually sweet, deep-fried from flour dough, and shaped in rings or flattened spheres that sometimes contain fillings.

There were many types and variations of Doughnut and one of them is the pretzel type. In parts of Germany, the doughnut equivalents are called Berliner; in Finland, a sweet doughnut is called a munkki (the word also means monk) and is commonly eaten in cafés and cafeteria restaurants. They are called krofna, in Croatia and Serbia. In India, a savory, fried, ring-shaped snack called a vada is often referred to as a doughnut. The Indonesian donat kentang is a potato doughnut; while in Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia and Eritrea, the signature doughnuts are lagaymat, which are balls of fried dough drizzled with powdered sugar.

In the Philippines local varieties are usually made of plain well-mead dough, deep-fried in refined coconut oil and sprinkled with refined (not powdered or confectioner's) sugar.

After groping with words and try to get hold with my cravings for the Krispy Kreme I ended up frustrated. I end up gone with the job order; so long with my Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles doughnuts. Hello to munchkins. Then I just smiled as I daydream more about doughnuts.
