Funniest Fucking Thing EVER!
So at work we are looking to hire in someone to help with our website. That's awesome right? So our Marketing Manger gives us a couple of resumes and interview schedules -- okay -- great-- i don't know anything about websites -- but okay -- sweet. Interviewing people is always fun. My interview phillosophy? Give people enough rope and see if they hang themselves (which a lot of times, sadly, they do.)
So clearly the first thing I do is go to their respective websites and see what skills they have to offer. The first person -- I start combing thruogh the site and see bad graphics along with --- what is that? SPELLING ERRORS! Not just one spelling error -- a total of NINE!!!! so far. That's ridiculous. So I am clearly concerned about this candidate's viability (aka why the fuck are we interviewing them... (this is the second interview round) ... did no one look at their webpages?????
So I go up to the Marketing Manager and question her about this ... because clearly I'm very concerned about all these errors. I tell her my concerns and she says something to the effect of " These are creative people and soemtimes they are creative with their use of the langauage ... capitalization etc." Me: "Clearly they like to make up how to spell words as well... this is a webpage that you're displaying to the world to show how good you are... wouldn't you really comb through it and try to find all the spelling errors." Her (paraphrasing): "You're shrewd... You're like a mini-(insert CEO's name). "
So I told like one person -- and somehow this got around the office -- and to our graphic design person. Which of course resulted in hilarious results. If anyone wants to see them let me know I'll forward you the picture from work Monday. It's freaking hilarious...
I really have no other news. My life is quite boring. My fishes are chilling... My weekend has been pretty chill... cleaning up the appartment ... watching movies... catching up on reading... nothing really interesting.... though I did get hit on by this skanky ass guy at Target... I'm clearly in jeans and a normal tee-shirt -- him: sweat pants and sweat shirt -- me shopping for a rug for my bathroom (which I subsequently did not get) -- Say it with my people via Napolian Dynamite "GROSS!" Why do I always attract the really gross ones and never the cute ones? *Sigh*
Oh -- and grocery shopping after 9pm is the best thing that ever happened to me. No screaming children, no gross people, isles are clear, people are helpful, cute bag boy a)stopped my cart from crashing into someone else's car b)helped me put my groceries in the trunk and c)then took my cart to the cart rack for me. Cart grocery boy -- You ROCK! So definately repeating that experience.
Oh and the girl/boy that checked me out needed to either a)cut his hair so he didn't look like a girl or b)wax that chin -- there's no shame in the salon sister!
