LittleMe Jewell Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) Read this in an article this morning: Russia is beginning mass vaccinations as well. But there is a hitch: Recipients aren't supposed to drink alcohol for almost two months. Yeah, good luck with that.

LittleMe Jewell Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) Old joke that I was reminded of today. This is how way too many interviews go: Interviewer: So, you're a carpenter, are you? Carpenter: That's right, that's what I do. Interviewer: How long have you been doing it? Carpenter: Ten years. Interviewer: Great, that's good. Now, I have a few technical questions to ask you to see if you're a fit for our team. OK? Carpenter: Sure, that'd be fine. Interviewer: First of all, we're working in a subdivision building a lot of brown houses. Have you built a lot of brown houses before? Carpenter: Well, I'm a carpenter, so I build houses, and people pretty much paint them the way they want. Interviewer: Yes, I understand that, but can you give me an idea of how much experience you have with brown? Roughly. Carpenter: Gosh, I really don't know. Once they're built I don't care what color they get painted. Maybe six months? Interviewer: Six months? Well, we were looking for someone with a lot more brown experience, but let me ask you some more questions. Carpenter: Well, OK, but paint is paint, you know. Interviewer: Yes, well. What about walnut? Carpenter: What about it? Interviewer: Have you worked much with walnut? Carpenter: Sure, walnut, pine, oak, mahogony -- you name it. Interviewer: But how many years of walnut do you have? Carpenter: Gosh, I really don't know -- was I supposed to be counting the walnut? Interviewer: Well, estimate for me. Carpenter: OK, I'd say I have a year and a half of walnut. Interviewer: Would you say you're an entry level walnut guy or a walnut guru? Carpenter: A walnut guru? What's a walnut guru? Sure, I've used walnut. Interviewer: But you're not a walnut guru? Carpenter: Well, I'm a carpenter, so I've worked with all kinds of wood, you know, and there are some differences, but I think if you're a good carpenter ... Interviewer: Yes, yes, but we're using Walnut, is that OK? Carpenter: Walnut is fine! Whatever you want. I'm a carpenter. Interviewer: What about black walnut? Carpenter: What about it? Interviewer: Well we've had some walnut carpenters in here, but come to find out they weren't black walnut carpenters. Do you have black walnut experience? Carpenter: Sure, a little. It'd be good to have more for my resume, I suppose. Interviewer: OK. Hang on let me check off the box... Carpenter: Go right ahead. Interviewer: OK, one more thing for today. We're using Rock 5.1 to bang nails with. Have you used Rock 5.1? Carpenter: [Turning white...] Well, I know a lot of carpenters are starting to use rocks to bang nails with since Craftsman bought a quarry, but you know, to be honest I've had more luck with my nailgun. Or a hammer, for that matter. I find I hit my fingers too much with the rock, and my other hand hurts because the rock is so big. Interviewer: But other companies are using rocks. Are you saying rocks don't work? Carpenter: No, I'm not saying rocks don't work, exactly, it's just that I think nail guns work better. Interviewer: Well, our architects have all started using rocks, and they like it. Carpenter: Well, sure they do, but I bang nails all day, and -- well, look, I need the work, so I'm definitely willing to use rocks if you want. I try to keep an open mind. Interviewer: OK, well we have a few other candidates we're looking at, so we'll let you know. Carpenter: Well, thanks for your time. I enjoyed meeting you. NEXT DAY: Ring... Interviewer: Hello? Carpenter: Hello. Remember me, I'm the carpenter you interviewed for the black walnut job. Just wanted to touch base to see if you've made a decision. Interviewer: Actually, we have. We liked your experience overall, but we decided to go with someone who has done a lot of work with brown. Carpenter: Really, is that it? So I lost the job because I didn't have enough brown? Interviewer: Well, it was partly that, but partly we got the other fellow a lot cheaper. Carpenter: Really -- how much experience does he have? Interviewer: Well, he's not really a carpenter, he's a car salesman -- but he's sold a lot of brown cars and he's worked with walnut interiors.
