On conference call with most annoying people EVAR. So full of shit. Yuck.
Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Dying of the shitbagginess...
Beverly, that's the best story ever!
That is a lovely story. What a great boss.
So, what's the craziest question people have gotten during job interviews?
Him: Have you read The Lord of the Rings?
Me: (delighted, if bemused)Yes!
Him: Okay then - how many rings were there altogether?
Me: Well... Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. So that's twenty. There were twenty.
Him: Very good! Now I have a theory that the One Ring is not the one that the Dark Lord had, but that it's a seperate ring. So they could still make a sequel to the movie trilogy.
Me: (boggling) No, fuckwit! What medication are you on? Wow, that's, er, really clever! I never thought of that!
This was my FormerBoss, the guy at the first school I worked at in Cairo. The king of crazy unprofessionalism.
...really, I have only myself to blame for not realising right off the bat that he was a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

Ok, I have to work while I'm here in Seattle. I have been struggling to get into my work network. I finally get in and start doing my thing only to encounter an error in one of my programs that requires Corporate to research and fix.

People...it is not like I WANT to work remotely. I only have a few hours each day to work on homework and work-work and this is killing them.
Closes eyes and remembers the wonderful company from last night.
Very good! Now I have a theory that the One Ring is not the one that the Dark Lord had, but that it's a seperate ring.
Shit, Frodo's gonna be PISSED.
I have yoga'd.
I am afeard I am too fat to yoga.
Also, I cannot get this woman from the Hawthorne on the phone! (I am calling to see if anything is feasible for F2F-age)
We have now had our departmental interview with today's candidate. We didn't ask her anything crazy. She called herself a "people-person" which I count as a strike against, for using the phrase.
So, what's the craziest question people have gotten during job interviews?
I was hoping to have a spiffy new answer to this today, but my interview got postponed due to half the interviewers being ill today. Oh well. Next Monday evening I may have something.
I should yoga. I noticed that as my weight changed my center of gravity and balance did, too.
