'Bring On The Night'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
You'd not think that if you went to your craxy never-at-the-office makes-you-do-their-job boss and told them precisely what you thought of them (including profanity and personal criticism), with your resignation letter right in hand that you'd end up getting transferred to the branch not two miles from where you work, in the position of your choice, with a 100% raise, would you?
DAMN, I so want to do this. Damn.
Matt -
What will your previous positions bring to this one?
Are you a self-starter? If so, give an example.
What attracted you to this job?
What do you look for in a company?
How do you handle stress?
Why yes, I've just recently been on an interview. How could you tell?
That last question is one that I love to ask. My mom was asked it once along with an "example." The interviewer said, "How do you handle stress? For example, Bob* goes in his office and throws breakable things."
*Names have been changed to protect the somethings. Bob was to be my mom's boss.
I love it when life imitates Office Space.
She totally needs a red Swingline.
I have as much of a problem calling forced prostitution "sexual slavery" because it is forced.
I don't see the problem -- isn't forced inherent in slavery?Yes. It's using sexual that feels off, somehow.
I only used the term "white slavery" because of the Teppy thing.Oh, I knew that sumi. It's just that the article got me thinking about the term in contexts where we're not doing the Teppy riff.
That phrase would work, except none of you FUCKOS even *tried.* I feel so rejected.Maybe we're just inefficient, Teppy.
Hey, I just heard of somebody who made a huge fuss about her job, got her boss in trouble, was first transferred away from it and now has been promoted.
Oh, shit -- is anyone else in NYC watching the news?
100 yards of retaining wall just collapsed on the Henry Hudson parkway. Rescue workers are on the way.
SHIT!
I'm sorry, Jessica.
It doesn't look like it's hit the internet yet, but it's right near 181st St. Police may be evacuating the area (they're not sure yet how much of the rest of that bit of land is unstable).
Nobody knows yet how many cars were under there. At least it wasn't rush hour yet.
Holy Crap
