I wanna ask an applicant at an interview, "If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?"

A friend of mine got that question, but when she was applying to a housing co-op.

Also, some people suck.

tommyrot, I go some ways in that direction.

I pay attention to hobby listings on resumes. If you list "reading," I will ask if you've read any good books lately.

I wonder if the situation is a "good cop/bad cop" scenerio, seeing how the interviewee handles inappropriate statements.

Christopher tries to disarm these people by making valid answers that seem eccentric. Example: When this guy asked about his hobbies, Christopher said he was hoping to start training for the lumberjack olympics. It's just believable enough not to provoke an argument and funny enough to move the conversation into a direction he can control.

Gronklies.

I love Sail and lisah's hair. Yum. Pretty hair for all!

{{{{Maria}}}} I'm glad you still have your job, but I wish you weren't so stressed. Poor darling.

Jen, you and YC-w sound so cute!!! Yay.

bt, I'm sorry for AS's un-fun interview. Also? You are so doomed, dude.

Kristin! Yay! Glad to hear from you, sorry the school is a little overly stressful.

job~ma for askye.

I'd like to be the Nine of Pentacles, if I may. I may borrow one of Kenny Parker's smaller raptors to complete my pose.

I would pay good money to see that.

Fred, my boycats still beat the heck out of each other on occasion. I still put a little tuna juice on each of their heads, so they'll lick each other peacefully. I also try hard to monitor the situation, and keep Damien's (the primary aggressor) claws clipped short.

Hi there. The game last night was fun. My heart leapt into my mouth a little when Ichiro frelled his knee (or whatever he did when he was at bat). The Metrodome still sucks, but I'm not happy about having to pay for a new stadium. I asked a lot of very basic questions, and thankfully my friends (and husband) are very patient with me. It was all right. I think I'd prefer to go to a Saints (bush league) game, though. More goofiness abounding.

Great idea! Teddy isn't as fond of fish, but of course we can substitute something chicken-related for him to lick.

We're monitoring. Max's previous humans declawed him in front, so claws should only be a problem if Teddy decides to use his.

Cat porn.

Someone should tell the American Council for Tuna about this.

No really, there is such an organization: [link]

Thanks for all the hair-liments! I still like it today. It's so soft! It makes such a difference when you're putting color in vs. stripping color out.

I had a weird good cop/bad cop interview for the job I have now. The bad cop ended up being my boss for 4 years and we got along famously. But he was a pretty bad interviewer. He wasn't mean, exactly, just abrupt. He asked me "How do you feel about personal pronouns?" er.. "I love them?" "Don't care for them?" I had no idea what answer he wanted to hear.

Cat porn.

ACK! Stop that!
