Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Personal references probably weed out Coneheads, at least.
"Yes, 'Jack' is quite a decent fellow. When consuming mass quantities, he is most effective. His dentition is in order. We recommend 'Jack' for immediate employment at your consumables production and delivery facility as 'potato superheating technician'."
If I had to guess employer references are too generic in order to avoid suit from disgruntled former employees. Personal references probably weed out Coneheads, at least.
HR at that place called former supervisors directly, instead of either the personal references asked for on the application, or the professional references I had provided. So she talked to the boss who had fired me.
Luckily, he didn't say that.
And she was so much better than the HR who came after her!!
Although he is from a small town in France ... Remulac, I believe.
That Villain's Tavern does look fun, Pix.
I find it a bit amusing that most states are significantly more concerned with the ID aspect of a DL than the driving part.
I had to take the driver's test when I moved from Virginia to New Jersey (14 years ago). I passed the actual driving part, but failed the written because I didn't know what blood alcohol percentage was too much. I told them I didn't need to know that, because I didn't drink (at the time, true). They made me take it again anyway.
You guys are all witness to my requirements gathering and overall project coordination. Wanna be my refs?
And you saw the project through to completion and have provided remarkable ongoing support for years after!

At some point you'll need to take it again just to renew. I thought that was normal. Is California the only state that makes you retake the written?
And going back to this, I don't think I had to take any tests to renew my driver's license in NY or MA. Oh, except an eye test with my glasses on.

THERE IS NO TONE ON THE INTERNET
I got my NJ license in 1997, and have renewed it every four years since then. I had to take the eye test with my glasses on when I first got my license, but never when I renewed it. My license has the notation that means that I'm only legal to drive if I am wearing my glasses or contacts, but they never test to see if the ones I'm wearing actually fix my vision enough.
