Stormig Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 All women are the same except those who get beer for you and massage your back while you are watching football. "Ladies, what are your turn-offs?" "Number 1 - football." I'm fine with the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azat Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 ok, let me first apologies to all the ladies of this forum.(Sip thinking "What ladies?") I have been interviewing for the last couple of months for few jobs that I had open and most are filled but one. I had an interview for that developer position today and one answer that the guy gave me just made my chin drop. But first let me tell you I have had some interesting interviews. One guy who was very qualified told me that his favorite activity is skeet shooting after I had asked what he enjoyed to do in his spare time. Then he said, “but after 9/11 it has been really scare for me as cops are very strict everywhere you go” Like and idiot I had to ask why. And he said “Well I am afraid to be pulled over as I carry my gun with me all the time” and he proceeded to move his jacket and show me that he had his gun tucked in his pants. Let me tell you I was done with the interview but for 15 minutes I had to joke around with him and ask stupid question to make sure he was okay to be walked out. Scary nut case. Anyways back to the interview today. First of all throughout the interview he would constantly say "God dam it, I can't believe I don’t remember this one". He said that about 10 times. Kind of weird but I did not care too much about it. At the end of my interviews I always ask a puzzle and tell them to think out loud as I want to know their thinking process. And knowing that I was not going to hire this guy I asked an easy one. "Why are manhole covers round"(for those who do not know it is such that they do not fall on to themselves. Only triangles and round covers will not fall into the hole.) The guy thought for a sec and said that because the pipes are round and thus they have extended that up to the manholes as well. I was like "good answer but that is not the reason." he thought some more and said "it is only natural for them to be round". I was curious at this time and I asked what he meant by that and he said "You know we all come out of a round hole thus we like to make things round". My chin just dropped to the floor and I did not know what to say for probably 30 seconds but it seemed like it was 30 minutes. I had to later chuckle and tell him the answer and walk him out.

Anileve Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Anyways back to the interview today. First of all throughout the interview he would constantly say "God dam it, I can't believe I don’t remember this one". He said that about 10 times. Kind of weird but I did not care too much about it. At the end of my interviews I always ask a puzzle and tell them to think out loud as I want to know their thinking process. And knowing that I was not going to hire this guy I asked an easy one.

My chin just dropped to the floor and I did not know what to say for probably 30 seconds but it seemed like it was 30 minutes. I had to later chuckle and tell him the answer and walk him out. Ahahahah! That’s hysterical! I remember the first story which had me rolling for a few minutes. The second one is classic, I would have hired a guy just because of that comment to be my personal entertainer during those stressful days at work. And by the way, I thought of something completely different when I came across “manhole”. First I was shocked and certain that I misread it, which I did. Second, I thought of something which wouldn’t have been all that different from the context of the first meaning of the word I misread. By the way, I’ve always done well in my creative writing classes. I still remember an essay I wrote on “The Great Gatsby” for which I received an interesting comment. I would almost never show up to class and just read the books on my own. In fact my teacher told me that my whole family must be dead since I didn’t go to class due to the attendance of various funerals of my dead or non-existent relatives. Anyhoo, the comment on my paper was: “Excellently written, however has nothing to do with the question asked. “F”. I always get carried away with my nonsense, as I did now.

Anileve Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Impression of the day - All men are the same, except those who don't leave the toilet seat for you to put down. Stormig, men are not all the same. Some men like football more than others which can result in an even bigger turnoff. The best men are those that speak only French and not a word of English, that way you can blame everything on miscommunication (if you speak French please insert a different language you don’t understand).

Anileve Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 I have a question to ask regarding the lack of logic in bureaucracy. I want to apply for a different position within my institution. That would mean that I would have to switch lines. Don’t ask me what it is, it’s too complicated. So I called up this woman whom I used to work with and who used to scream at students and call them morons. I asked if I would have to write a cover letter addressed to her, she answered yes, although she won’t be reviewing my resume and she’s simply a receptionist who would pass it on to the review committee. She said yes. Ok, next question. Can I bring up my resume with the cover letter to her? “No,” she replied, you have to mail it. I was silent for a second. I responded, “Doodlehead (insert her name), but wouldn’t it sort of be nonsensical for me to mail out my documents from the college only for it to come back in when I can just go upstairs and hand it to you?” “Well, anileve, the instructions clearly state that you must send the resume to me, if you can’t follow those instructions than you shouldn’t even apply for this position.” “Yes litter box full of kitty poop, it states that you have to “send” them, but it doesn’t mention the method, I can send it upstairs with a student or I can send it interoffice or I can send it electronically, it will still be “sent”. So what is the difference.” “You can do whatever you want anileve, but if I receive your resume not by specified instructions I will put strikes against it, and they will not even look at it.” She spewed back out at me. Well besides her being a complete biatch, I am puzzled by the fact that she didn’t hear herself sound so moronic. She followed rules without logically thinking, how they put her in charge of such a task is beyond me. I was already mentally bashing her tangled haired empty head into the green walls of her smelly office. Am I wrong to question the logic behind the stupid rules, should I have just accepted it and kept my mouth shut? Can I even expect logic from people? She was one of those lazy thinkers, not willing to move her brain cells beyond their programmed task. Why did they not assign her to a housekeeping department where with her despicable attitude she would be quite successful at exterminating rats. All she would have to do is open her filthy mouth and rats would voluntarily drop dead not to hear her squeaky voice. Ok, I am calm now.

Anileve Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Wow, I am the main contributor of the Impressions of the Day thread. What can I say, I am an impressionable girl. One more impression of the day. I never realised that my nickname sounds jewish, since it can be a combination of first name "ani" and last name "leve". Thanks to that certain someone for pointing it out. I don't blame him, this forum is rumored to have a title of "Jewforum" and I am notorious for my "Feminazi" title, another paradox for you.

Sip Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 (edited) So I make a quick stop at KFC and get the 8 piece meal that comes in the bucket of chicken and two sides ... mashed potatos and cole slaw. Of course after I get done ordering, what does the cashier lady ask me? Yup ... "For here or to go?"
