Is part of your job wall assessment, Jesse? So curious.
I am also, admittedly, curious about the soup and salad thing. I'm having trouble imagining it, like, at all, but I'm willing to believe there is value in it.
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

I just watched a woman ladle two kinds of soup onto her salad. Like, on top of it. Same bowl. I'm baffled.
I...what?
When I worked at a place with free lunch, I would frequently dump spinach from the salad bar on top of whatever else I was eating because hey, free vegetables, but...not soup.

Maybe she took that Three Bean Soup thing to heart

Does anyone like the new Slack logo?
We've spent some quality time here at work mocking it. In Slack. So far the consensus is that it looks like a 1990s logo for something at a mall.
Setting up the next meeting at the end of the interview seems like a good sign.
Yes indeed!

I was thinking logo for a failed Olympics bid.

I mean, if she was trying to create phở out of chicken noodle soup and the salad bar, I would admire the attempt. But that is not what happened. Also, we have a cafeteria that serves phở.

That is a good sign! Your rate of success with interviewing seems super-high.
I think my interview game is pretty solid. I use the strategy of asking about their challenges and then relating how I have experienced similar challenges in the past and trying (in very board terms) talk about how they could be addressed.

I've settled on the headcanon that it's the Box Theory of Food run amok. Everything is soup!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can also imagine putting stuff from the salad bar into soup more easily than the other way around. People are a mystery.

Sometimes people want me to have an opinion on where signs should go and what they should look like. Which is basically ridiculous, but does lead to occasional field trips.

I suggest random locations and like the new Slack logo.
