Ooooooooookay.... So I'm not typically a superstitious person: I don't follow any funky precepts of situational outcome determined by what color I wear or how many stray black cats cross the street. I've always thought it was kind of exhausting [& pointless, really] to live in some subconcious fear of little dogmas. If I want to open an umbrella in my house while walking under ladders, well... come get me.
Yeah I know. I'm a a rebel. ;)
Anywho - I was challenged by the course of weirdness that was my day at work today. Very early into the day, Andi took a minute and checked out the full moon schedule. Yes, that's today. It all made sense now.
My job is weird enough as it is, on a daily basis... but today may take the cake for a little while on the scale of 1 to way-wacked-out.... anyone who's ever dealt with the general public on a large scale [specifically the
unemployed general public], or in HR can attest to how zany it can be.
Quirks of today, in no particular order:
xX | "
Did you guys know, on your online application, that it does not accept the letter C?" - Applicant attempting to register online.
xX | In an interview earlier this morning:
"
I see that you did production for 3 years?"
"
Yes,
I made pieces like the ones that English & British warriors of the 18th century carried into combat, to aide them whenever they needed to perform trachiotomies."
"
Oh...... Of course."
xX | The girl who removed a huge fake eyelash during an interview. Just. One. The end.
xX | Interview flop #1 : Overpriveleged engineering intern who believed we were intending to scam his information and sell it to
private vendors. I don't even know what that means.
xX | Interview flop #2 : RSO.
RECENT RSO. Hide your kids, ya'll.
xX |
"I can't make my interview because it's raining outside." - Unmotivated Associate
xX | DOPPLEGANGERS! Arsenio Hall [the muppet puppet version], Fantasia Barrino, and a llama.
xX | Temporary internet crash.
xX | Resume one-liner: "
I showed workers who were working how to be better at there jobs than I am."
xX | Corn nuts.
You're welcome, Linda.
xX | Kyle, being
hilarious.
... Yes, Kyle, you can take a lunch break.
xX | Discovering that
someone you know has launched a fundraiser for something estimated to take 3 months for completion, that requires $20k.
Good luck.
... It doesn't look
as hilarious re-reading it, but to mash it all together into one day definitely makes things a little stranger than the average Thursday.
To continue in the spirit of silliness, I found myself at Ali's later in the evening, along with Marianne, Damanji and Tim. Ali's dad took on some pretty heavy photography work and got some shots of us nimrods doing what we do best... goofin' off. There's no better way to explain it other than just showing it.... so uhh... yeah.
Here ya go....
Oh, I love 'em.
I'm home now, showered and ready to call this one a night. Two more days and I put my life [
a.gain.] onto a moving truck and drag it across a few states. I will be so glad when my life can stop being nomadic... *sigh.
