That’s why my newish favorite hot sauce is this one. Delicious and a low-key name.

I’m convinced that interviewers who ask the 5-year and weakness questions fall into one of two camps. Either they are so dim that they think they’re being clever and insightful, or they’re fishing for an answer that they can steal and use themselves.

They’ve now got one with a a guy singing it. And the musical Cologuard commercials can just get flushed, too. And the woman who screams when she sees her 1-day bathroom remodel …

About 20 years ago, I remember interviewing for a part-time side job. And the guy interviewing me – his wife had just left him and their two boys for some other guy she met on the internet (half way across the country). He said nothing about the job, the company or ask me any questions – just kept talking about his personal situation.
My brain was screaming – you don’t even know me, why are you sharing this?? Initially I tried to be polite and sympathetic, but after 10 minutes of listening to him disparage his estranged wife; I stopped him and told him this was probably not a good time for him to interviewing candidates for the job. Then I got up and left.
As I drove home, my brain kept repeating – did that really just happen.
Needless to say, I didn’t get a call back for a second interview – not that I would have taken it anyway.

It may have been an interesting job, especially if he was going to be your boss. You’d at least know how it all turned out (Did she come back? What about the boys?)

It’s like the person who some mutual acquaintance has given your phone number to who calls you to ask you out on a date (pre-Internet) and spends the entire call telling you how awful their ex and the divorce was. 
. (Pay. For. Therapy… ).

Yes… that gentleman would have been my direct supervisor/boss.
Don’t care if the wife came back or not.

Been there, done that… burned the t-shirt. Unfortunately, I was on an actual in person date with this woman. I even remember the guy’s name – Brian.
Brian did this… Brian did that… All night long – by the end of the evening, I had a migraine.

Mercifully, I don’t remember this guy’s name. But I do remember where he said he lived.
I’d have had at least a headache, too.

Sounds like Brian was lucky to have gotten away!

While looking at pizza baking steels on Etsy, this turned up. Thought 2 things about it. One, it’s kinda cute. Two, their search engine sucks if it thinks this should be in a search for pizza steels (although I guess the blade and guard are stainless).

Like me, it’s sounds like your methcoon technique is to get you sanctioned. I have the same luck as you. For some reason mt Badger bride keeps me on that duty, despite me best efforts at eviction.

In the subscript, they forgot the possible inclusion of slapping one’s momma. Other than that, right on!
Love it, Linda.
I always said “before we get into that, do you press charges?” just to loosen 'em up.
