I would like to see someone answer the question with "That question is the Kobayashi Maru of interviews," just to see what happened.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

As long as you're not being interviewed by Spock.

I usually try to be honest (I can get too focused on a task and making something perfect even if there isn't time/necessity for it to be) but quickly transition into talking about how I try to work around my "weakness" (by being very aware of project deadlines and working out what customer expectations are). So far that's worked okay I think. Who knows though, really?
I'm worried about my company changing our insurance this summer. If my gyno doesn't take it I'm going to FLIP OUT.

In the software development biz that answer might land you the job.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Now I'm tempted...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I feel I will reply "How much I hate that question!"
See, now I feel like that's a totally legitimate response.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I don't think there is a good answer because it's a dumb question. It's just crappy interview filler.

Hey, cat people, I can't hope that my big cat has lost weight because he's been, like, chasing his tail more or something? It's probably some horrible expensive chronic condition that's causing the weight loss, right? He doesn't act sick, ftr, he's eating fine and not peeing on inappropriate things more than usual (like, he peed on a trashbag we left on the floor upstairs this weekend but that's his normal way).
I am so tired of spending money at the vet.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
lisah, if he's eating fine, not acting sick, etc., you probably shouldn't worry about the weight loss.

I've had an '81 Isuzu I-Mark Diesel coupe (AKA, my Dream Car), an '84 Mazda 626, and co-possessed a '98 Honda Civic, a '90 Honda Civic, a '98 Saturn SL (worst car ever), and a '07 Honda Civic. This is not counting the '91 Civic Paul had while I still had my Mazda, as I think I drove it twice.

Our car loyalties, they are obvious.
