I would put out there that a six-sided yellow fabric star is basically never a good idea.
Not their first bit of questionable judgement:
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There was a swastika purse, too, right?

I was just talking to the deputy sheriff on duty at work, and noted that her badge is a 5-pointed star.
A local sherriff drove past me at lunch and I noted that the car had a seven-pointed star.

Customer who want to know how things work and want to be helpful are a good thing. Keep telling yourself that.
But stop making "helpful" hints when you don't know what the hell you're talking about!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They also asked for references.
I feel like I'm getting really good at asking questions when being interviewed, when I was stymied by the principle last job search. Simple things like "What components make up the project team?" and more specific-to-the-job things like "What makes this deployment attempt more likely to succeed than the first two failures" make me sound interested and like I've been listening, I hope.
Fingers crossed. The background check from now is so that I could start ASAP if they choose me.

"What makes this deployment attempt more likely to succeed than the first two failures"
That's a terrific question, goes to their processes and shows interest in how they manage things.

It opens the kimono.
Or closes it. Or puts it on a hanger.
Look, I don't know what that means in business-speak. I just wanted to sound hip.

I am SO GLAD I have never heard the kimono thing at work. I would not be able to resist laughing in the person's face. And then giving them the side eye for the rest of the meeting.
