It was weird. I'm applying for this seriously low level job and all of the interview questions were about my ability to motivate people and how well do I work with others. I'm applying for a fucking parking attendant job, how is that relevant? My favorite though, "On a scale of one to ten, how honest are you?" Seriously, who's going to say anything lower than a seven or so?

You want a long, boring story....go find a copy of Ulysses by Joyce. 800 pages, no plot.
nopantsdave:
If I remember right my answer was, "I'd say about a nine. There is, after all, such a thing as tact because sometimes people don't really want to hear the truth. But on the whole I am a very honest person."

You don't really want to read Ulysses anyway, worst fucking book I've ever read. I didn't even finish it until my fourth time trying and that was only so I could say, "Damn, that book sucks and yes I have read it."

so, once upon a time there was a penguin named carl. and carl was different from all the other penguins. all the other penguins were content to catch fish, make eggs, and hatch them. but that just wasn't carl's scene. he had stars in his eyes. he wanted to be a movie star. so, one day he was talking to his one and only friend, eugene the moose, and eugene told him he should follow his dreams, and to go to hollywood and see if he could make it like pengu did, or like that whale from those movies, free willy. and damned it if carl didn't take that to heart. but he couldnt walk to hollywood, that would take him too long, and there were too many dangers. so he set off to find the wisdom of brian the polar bear.he searched high and low for this bear, but the secret to finding the bear, was you had to be pure of heart. but the penguin didn't know this. and upon his travels he came across a poor little artic fox who had fallen into a seals ice hole. so since the penguin could swim and he felt bad for the fox, he dove in, and with all his might, pushed the fox back onto the glacier. luckily for him, brian the polar bear saw this great act of kindness, and allowed carl to approach and ask him how he could make it to hollywood. so the polar bear told him to jump onto an iceburg, and float all the way down. excited, carl set off to find the slickest looking iceburg because he knew those travelled the fastest and he wanted to get to hollywood as quickly as he could. this turned out to be a mistake... while he was half way to califronia, his iceburg started to melt, and it continued to melt, until it got so small that it dissapeared into the ocean from whence it came. unfortunatly for carl, the waters the iceburg melted in were infested with great white sharks, who when realized he had no defences proceded to tear him asunder and eat him
moral of the story...
stop global warming
somehow... im sure thats the moral. meh. i just like penguins and iceburgs . and yes, i realize there are factual errors, but i can deal with them :op

synnove:
gah, oh no! i was wondering because i checked their site out yesterday and the fred. show wasn't listed under their tour dates. frown

might have to go to st john for both now... i really want to see dfa. or maybe the moncton show since st john is a big dirty hole.

synnove:
haha, that would have been funny. yeah, it's on the 25th smile
doublejesus:
yeah, come by!

i think i'd much rather go to moncton for both shows, that way i can stay at home. I can find you a place to crash if you wanna go too.

EDIT: you can probably stay with these guys

I dunno if you've seen them or not but i know them all, they're going to the show... joey the guitarist will be up for my bday next week.
