I have a sign on my credenza that says, "god, when you told me to cast bread upon the waters, you forgot to mention it would attract ducks" a million fold.<br />
<br />
It's a great life if we do not weaken.

Fourth and final interview with the pres. Of the company after interviewing with the executive team.<br />
<br />
Pres., "a key part of this position will be communicating our corporate message both internally and externally.". " how would you determine the difference in addressing those different groups?"<br />

<br />
Candidate: " Well, ER, uh, uh, ER, uh, oh honk, I guess it would , ER, uh, uh, require, ER, uh, dummying down the message to fit the internal stakeholders." "Guess that was probably not the answer you were hoping for, ER uh, maybe I should have said that in an, ER uh, different way." "Oh crap, well, ER, uh, thank you for your time."<br />
<br />
Pres. "perhaps we both need to look at other options".<br />
<br />
When the conversation was related to me.<br />
<br />
Me: Facepalm, "seriously, she didn't say that?"<br />
<br />
Candidate to me in follow up call: " I think I screwed the pooch"<br />
<br />
Me: yeppers, Gladys, and I don't think we have to worry about finding a home for any puppies since it appears it was not a successful breeding.

<p>I thought of another funny one. A guy was on his last interview on a very busy retail account where everyone he had seen had stressed the need for organization. He was interviewing with the president of the company who had one of those austere and totally bare offices - white walls, white desk with nothing on it. The president asked him what his last boss would say about him: "He would say that I am messy and disorganized...but I get the work out." Next. You can't make this stuff up!</p>

<p>Candidate rushes into the office, 35 minutes late and announces with great drama, "I'm sorry I'm late. My guinea pig got impacted and I had to take her to the vet."</p>
<p>eMail message before the interview: "Sorry, I can't make it today. I forgot that my sorority is making cookies for the new freshmen."</p>

<p>What is your favorite part of your job: Going home on Friday's for the weekend. Why do you want this job: I really don't, but I knew if I didn't say yes to the recruiter, I would never have gotten to meet you. What do you do outside of work: I take ballroom dancing (candidate gets out of his chair, walks around the desk to the interviewer, yanks her out of her seat and takes her for a twirl). None of them got passed on.</p>

Who the hell knows, either his wife is a doctor or extended unemployment has risen to a new level.<br />

I started to suggest to him it might be time to get a new couch but sometimes my sarcastic mouth is best left closed.
