Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Good luck, ita.
So, you mean it would look too much to your current work like you were looking for other work if you wore the suit, Consuela? I get that. I like to randomly wear suits to work just to keep people guessing, but I probably wouldn't if I was really looking. Anyway, Tino be damned, hopefully no one else will notice any spots.
One interview I had here, I ended up with my jacket over my cardigan over my blouse, and the conference room was SO HOT. I should ask someone if they noticed how sweaty I was by the end.
If an interviewer is going to disqualify me on the basis of an easily-missed spot, I probably didn't want to work for them anyway. Note that is in the presence of otherwise well-groomed appearance.
mr. flea once had an interview and realized after it ended that he'd neglected to shave. His friend Tony once didn't wear socks to an interview, which resulted in the composition of a song that goes, "Socks, everybody wears socks. Hey Tony, didn't your mom teach you to wear socks."
(Both these things happened when they were in college, but were for professional jobs - engineering co-ops.)
In law school, my friend Paul had an interview with one of the big law firms, and he came out of it looking terrible. We asked what had happened, and he told us that when he'd sat down at the table he'd kicked the guy. "Oh, no!" we say, "what did he do?" "He said, 'ow!'" We eventually thanked him for taking all the pressure off the rest of us because who could top assault?
We had a guy interview with us a couple of years ago whose current job happened to be in the same building. Nice guy, but not right for the specific position as it turned out. End of story, right?
Like two months later the lead receptionist asked my manager what was going on with him.
It turns out he had been keeping his interview suit in the coat closet in our reception area and coming in every week or so, changing in the bathroom, and v.v. after each interview in his (apparently lengthy) job search.
The interview went well. Everyone was pleasant and seemed receptive and amused throughout. And the lead interviewer said I had the best "work out how many gas stations there are in the US" question.
I think I need a new TiVo. Suits was unwatchable with the bars and columns of interference and lack of audio.
Or is that what a bad digital cable signal looks like?
Just every so often with the interference? That sounds like the cable to me.

That is kind of brilliant.
I just took this test pretty seriously. Am disappointed I got one wrong. [link]

Unwatchable. Probably 85% of the recording.
Also, there's one point in a Perception recording that causes the unit to reboot.
