10/08 - the work JD

Good Morning! I've been very busy these past few weeks, but since I was doing interviews to hire my replacement, we thought we'd do a JD based on people's experiences with interviews. Conducting them and suffering them. And for what it's worth, I'll add my 2 cents.

Regarding my recent experience conducting interviews all I can say is that it was very tiring, boring and disappointing. People were mostly unprepared, uninformed and unexperienced. All this comes from a very positive person. I always look for the best in people, but these people were making it very hard.

The first guy spent over 80% of the interview grabbing his cheek... GRABBING HIS CHEEK for goodness sake! I don't mean with his  hand holding his jaw or anything like that, you get my drift. He was acting all cool and detatched too, he did not give off a good impression.

Another girl kept interrupting my boss ALL THE TIME. Very annoying, people should refrain from doing that...

Another guy was unable to link two words without using the ehhhhhhhhhhhhh interjection. His interview probably took double the time that others took on sheer time wasted just saying ehhhhhhhh.

Next girl had such a high pitched, squeaky, screechy voice that I feared for my safety in the proximity of windows. You can't be a lawyer if your voice is unbearable. Period. There is nothing you can do about it except get voice training, which might help. Or not.

One girl was asked to come in at 9 and she went: "pppffff that is pretty early... but.... ok.... if there is no other available time". Talk about enthusiasm!

None of them except one girl (which I subsequently hired) had any idea of how to answer the legal questions I asked. Most of them looked like they hadn't even heard that those things existed in the first place. They were very standard, easy questions, things that you don't forget once you've touched them in class.

Most af all I'm disappointed at how unispiring it all was. I was hoping to interview interesting, well prepared people, and they were none of those things.

I hope you have better, funnier stories to tell than mine, and that you'll want to share them :)

I've done three job interviews

one was a breeze, the second was disaster. I went unprepared and got annihilated by 3 guys asking technical questions (which I should have known anyway). It served as a good wake-up call and for the third i did my homework and went ok.

On a side note, yesterday i watched “El secreto de sus ojos” (The Secret in Their Eyes, for you non-Mexican speaking yahoos). Best film of the year so far. FFA, do yourself a favor and go check it out.

If it’s a job you definitely want, being prepared is a must.

I find going through many scenarios in my mind that relate to quality, productivity, teamwork, etc. is helpful.
If possible, go on a few interviews with companies that are just for practice.

Wait, but what about gay guys?

If they don’t have sex with another dude by the time they’re 16, does that mean they are straight?

People start out normal

A traumatic event, such as not getting laid by the time you are sixteen, is what makes you gay.

So it is ludicrous to suggest one is gay before 16, and it makes them straight to not have gay sex. That doesn’t even make sense. I can’t even fathom it, it’s like something out of Michael Chrichton novel.

by Mortimer on Oct 8, 2009 3:52 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yup, this is exactly how it happens.

Not getting laid by the time you are sixteen. Seeing your mom naked at the wrong point in your development. Stuff like this forces gayness.

Conducted and had more interviews than I care to remember, not even counting pitches to get projects which happens all the time. Some anecdotes and tips:
  • Being prepared really is something that is fairly easy to see and hard to fake. I can tell if someone has at least looked at the website – or talked to someone working at the company. Writing out 1 or 2 pages with key facts about the company or organization helps, even if you can’t use your notes in the interview, like for a test. Have some idea about what the company does, where it might have problems or advantages, have a “ballpark” idea about it’s financial statements, look in the paper or website for news. If the CEO recently changed, it might help to know that.
  • I’m not a very punctual person and don’t think productivity gets measured in hours sitting on your butt behind your desk – except for occasions like this. It’s wasting the time of everyone and throwing off the timetable for the day for the interviewer to be late, and very likely to not get you the job.
  • The physical space where you sit is less important for organizational culture than most people think. Still it’s not a bad question to ask to see if the company has put any thought into you already. I know someone who got lead into a back-office where they had lockers, the interviewer ripped off a name tag from the previous person, and said that’s where he could store his stuff, and that he would be on the road a lot anyway. Top 5 accounting company. Not much into the people business.
  • Honestly I don’t really care sometimes if I’m not qualified for a job. Trying doesn’t cost me much, and as a wise man once said “the safest way to never get something is to never try to get it or ask for it”. Same with companies. It’s hard to find the courage, but can be really worth it. I have a few dream companies and jobs I have yet to apply for. But I did already get a few jobs that in hindsight I was woefully unprepared for yet that were awesome. You learn quickly on the job.

Anecdotes:

  • Someone interviewed with me wearing a Looney Tunes tie. I couldn’t focus on anything else. I wasn’t with Warner Brother’s at the time, the only place where this might have been fitting.
  • I get annoyed when people start reading my resume while I’m already sitting across from them and about never look up. Preparation goes both ways to some extent.
  • I once didn’t get a job with a consulting company because between a long series of interviews I had picked up some of their research reports, and told somebody while I found them very interesting, no manager in my previous very big company that was one of their clients read any consulting reports except maybe Gartner and McKinsey quarterly. They found that insulting, like I didn’t value their precious research. If they can’t handle the truth…
  • You have to make a good impression to everyone you meet while doing interviews. Clever companies don’t just decide based on the opinion of one person doing the interview. They might even ask the receptionists for their opinion…
  • “My biggest weakness – I’m a perfectionist”. Next!
  • However I found it doesn’t hurt to say that you will work hard, especially if you can back that up by explaining how you prepare for the week, have stories, etc. Surprisingly few people say that. Or that they are willing to travel, which is a must for a number of positions – and while sometimes tedious often a lot more fun than being stuck all the time at your desk.
  • I don’t have a very high opinion of assessment centers, especially cookie-cutter versions that aren’t adapted to a specific company.
  • At a pitch for a marketing account, two people from rival firms who hated each other started throwing fists. Was a scene like out of Entourage.
  • Someone brought his mother. True story.

Yeah, one or two day events where candidates go through a number of tasks

Case studies, role plays, presentations, introductions, handling of overflowing inboxes, you name it. Can be good when the company really puts effort into preparing it and observing it while also providing good feedback even to rejected candidates. Can be a big waste of time and money when just going through the standard motions.

This one time

I interviewed for a job with the main guy I’d be working with and a little with the head boss lady. They axed me to bring in some of the proposals I wrote at my last job and they wanted me to meet someone else the next day.

I came in the next day and figured I had the job, then the head boss lady asked what I would do if a volunteer talked stink about the main guy I’d be working with and said she didn’t want to work with him. I said I’d go to the head boss lady, and then she said, “What if I wasn’t there?” So I said, I’d ask another coworker, and the head boss lady threw me another curve. She backed me into a corner and by the time she was done, what I tried to accomplish in the exercise was all messed up and something I would never do. Then she said, “I want to know why you threw your coworker under the bus and didn’t go to him first?”

The coworker dude walked me out and we talked for another 10 minutes and he pretty much told me it was my job to lose and they’d get back to me the next day. They didn’t call for a week so I got their logo off the internet and wrote them a self addressed stamped envelope to me with a rejection letter I wrote to me, with a sticky that said, “sign here” at the bottom. Two days later I got a real rejection letter from them via priority mail and never heard from them again.

I saw the coworker dude at a bar about 3 weeks later and I kept making eye contact with him so that he’d look away and I kept it up until he left the bar.

Dear Professor Millington,

Thank you for your letter of March 16. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me an assistant professor position in your department.

This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.

Despite Whitson’s outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at this time. Therefore, I will assume the position of assistant professor in your department this August. I look forward to seeing you then.

Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.

Yesterday, my sister was happily driving through a green light. Suddenly a cop ran the red light, and she t-boned his back door. Apparently he was watching his laptop at the time. He didn’t have an emergency; he didn’t have his lights on, and he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt.

Luckily everyone is okay, and there are witnesses siding with my sister.

I was in a wreck per year for 4 years in a row

None of them were my fault, and my car was totaled in all of them. It was nice getting a different car every year, and my credit score jumped since it appeared I was paying off car loans early.

However, my back has suffered, and you definitely don’t say anything. Your addrenaline is pumping so hard, you can’t feel a thing. It is like getting super human strength. Two days later, you feel miserable.

The last one was the worst. I was headed down SE 20th (I think) at about 3AM. I was bumping Too $hort in a 93 civic hatchback, even though I am not Asian. All of a sudden everything went dark. I woke up, and couldn’t figure out why my car wasn’t moving. I look down, and I see a big VW in my lap. I get out of the car, and I see a VW bus (without the VW), and there are these three hippies freaking out. I asked what the heck happened. The driver said they just found a pair of Birkinstocks in the middle of the road a few blocks back, and they were so excited they did not notice the stop sign.

All of a sudden I felt a huge rage (I am very cool and barely ever get pissed), and I went to punch his face, but his buddy caught me. They started apologizing like crazy. They offered to drive me home, and they gave me all their insurance information. It turns out they were trust fund hippies from Connecticut (there were a lot in P-town during the 90s for some reason). Luckily, everything worked out. Those were the most expensive sandals he ever bought.

I have interviewed hundreds of applicants over the years.

Only about 20% of candidates can pass the basics of being considered a quality applicant: on-time, dressed appropriately, and able to speak about the company and their ability to contribute, even if only in the vaguest generalities.

Some favorite gaffes:

-The lady who spent 10 minutes talking about her latest felony conviction, none of which were disclosed on the application paperwork.

-At the start of an interview, the guy who asked how long it would take because his girlfriend and kids were waiting for him out in the car. I kept it very short for him.

-The guy who kept calling the company by the wrong name.

-The gum-chewing, tongue-studded, inappropriately-dressed cretin who doesn’t really want a job, but is clearly going through the motions because of pressure from mommy/boyfriend/unemployment office/roommate/whoever.

-The guy who is trying to analyze when and where the pre-employment drug screen is going to happen. I can actually see him doing the bong-math in his head to determine the odds of passing it.

-Like Norsk said, people who answer the “your biggest weakness” question with obvious lies: I am a perfectionist, workaholic, etc.

Seriously, only about 20% of applicants are worth pursuing further. I hope this post passes Marvin100’s strict standards of spelling and punctuality.

Some "interviews" can be just amazing...

when they have no bearing on the job to be performed.

Case in point: My daughter (21…..senior in college) took time off from her regular job this summer to spend much of the summer in an Art and Architecture program in Europe. She’s studying to be an interior designer. Her regular job is a salesperson at a high end furniture store. When she got back from her trip, there were fewer hours available at her company……the economic slowdown had resulted in a cut of hours for all sales people.

So, needing to continue to bring in some $, she applied for a job as a baritsa at a local coffee shop. She has previously been a barista several years prior. She’s qualified….and is a very good people person.

She calls the coffe shop, speaks with the owner….fills out an application. He calls her on a Saturday evening, and conducts a 45 minute interview over the phone. He then emails her a link to a pre-employment questionaire…..which has over 200 questions, often about topics totally unrelated what her job would be. Many of the questions are true/false…..but the appropriate response would be much more nuanced. Some involve financial issues….others are about the process of management. Keep in mind this is to serve coffee in a college town coffee shop.

In teh following week, her current boss calls her in and says he’s going to increase her hours back to what they were. Since this is a job that pays above the minimum, with decent commissions, she gladly accepts.

The same day she gets a voicemail from the coffee shop owner wanting her to some in for another interview. She immediately calls the coffee shop owner and politely informs him that she should no longer be considered for the position. She apologizes several time for wasting his time, and explains what happened. The guy goes ballistic, even calling her names. He goes on and on about how he has cost her serious money. To her credit she kept her composure and ended the call semi-professionally.

The positive in this is that all of her future job interviews should be better.

I farted during an interview. Seriously.

I had a gassy stomach thing going on (nerves) and thought that mid interview I could let off a little bit of, ahem, “pressure” so I could carry on more comfortably.

Bad idea.

It was pretty loud, but not horrible. Very distinct though. Definitely not a noise I could pass off as a car noise from outside, my shoes squeaking on the carpet or the crumpling noise leather chairs make. No. It was a fart.

I don’t mean for this to sound like a YM or Seventeen confessional, but I was mortified. All I could do was say, “Oh. Uh, sorry. Excuse me.” Not a smooth recovery but what, am I supposed to make a fart joke at that point?

The older guy and younger woman I was interviewing with (it was an investment firm that wanted a college student to work part-time as a clerk) kind’ve looked at me and then back down at their papers. It was really awkward. The woman didn’t really look me in the eye after that and seemed a little disgusted, and rightfully so. The man didn’t say much after that.

And to answer your questions before you ask them, no, it didn’t stink and yes, I actually got the job and worked there for two semesters. I never talked about it with the two that interviewed me but I told other co-workers who thought it was hilarious.

I started sweating bullets and all I could think about was finding a way to zip them up. I followed the lady out of the office and zipped them up then.

The hardest thing about a job is getting it

I have a few simple guidelines:

1. You are never overdressed (people think you really care about life if you wear a tie/blazer and shave, men at least)
2. You can never smile too much (in most jobs, the more positive you are about everything, the more people will want you with their company).
3. Always find a way to tell people what they want to hear, this takes some reading people skills, if you don’t have those, you probably don’t have many friends, so you don’t know how to interact with people, that sucks for you.
4. Always bring up your connection to the company or your experience in it’s field (if you have a connection, some one who knows someone at the company, don’t be shy to mention it, the more they feel like they know you, the more they can trust you).
5. Be a tamer version of yourself (don’t drop all your unique traits just because you are afraid your jokes will shock them, just tone them down, you don’t want to go to work everyday and become a shell of your former self do you?)

Is this stuff obvious? sorry if it is.

I had an interview this past Tuesday..

Group Interview, (thought it was one on one going in) there hiring 10-11 people.. they interviewed 100+

1. Was best Dressed with the 10 people there
2. Was prepared, and knew my shit.
3. Was the youngest person being interviewed
4. Pretty sure i stuck out and got my point across.

it’s to work for the state of oregon.

The displeasure comes from imagining the scenario you laid out occurring, not from being called a whiner.

I wouldn’t feel displeasure at someone who didn’t care about basketball calling me a baby if something like that happened.

However when Wheels tells him he receives a $50 gift certificate to McComick & Schmicks (remember when they got watches?) he is the first player I have ever, ever, EVER heard say “Thank you”.

My personal interview tips

Some of these may be specific to my profession, but I’ve never had an interview that didn’t result in a job offer.

1. be early, but not too early. 5 minutes shows your prompt, 15 minutes shows your over-eager
2. dress one level above the job/ company your interviewing for. In architecture this means button down, dress pants and a suit jacket (we don’t wear ties)
3. talk about what you hope to achieve in the coming years. Include things beyond the scope of the job you’re applying for, but still related to the field you’re in. Talk about how you think you can do this in the company you’re applying at.
4. behave as though your at your inlaws/significant others parents house. It’s ok to crack jokes, but you still want them to have a good impression of you when you’re done.
5. casually mention another interview you had recently. Do this in passing, and DO NOT compare the two companies unless asked
6. Be Honest

Good tips

Also never ever talk bad about a past employer. In the vast majority I have heard people complain about why their old boss/co-worker was mean or why they lost a former job it comes across as giving you also a negative association. And you start to wonder “would that person also talk that bad about us if we had to let him go after some months?” Had to learn that myself as one of my former employers went bankrupt, and it doesn’t help to pity your bad luck in interviews. It’s no problem to have failed, but not having learned anything from it.

Also never ever talk bad about a past employer.

Can’t emphasize that one hard enough. Talking bad about past employers reflects more on the interviewee than the employers in question.

Same goes for past coworkers. It shows a pattern of not being able to work with people who aren’t directly compatible with you.

there are instances where it’s marginally ok to badmouth former employers, clients… for instance I lost my previous job because the client whose 19 million dollar project I was doing stopped paying their bill to the tune of half a million dollars. When asked why I lost my job, I explained this… the trick is to stick to the facts, and not interject personal feelings

Correct. Covering facts about a past employer, and showing you can do it gracefully, is typically a positive.

first job interview story is dedicated to my legal beagle partner in crime

I brought in a lady to speak with me (in the role of HR manager as our CEO was out of town) and a co-worker (the project manager for the role being hired) about an account management position relating to a NSF funded grant to study the effects of school choice in a national sample. The lady interviewed was studying to be a lawyer and made it clear that she was only here because there was no better work, and she expected to move into a better role quickly. My coworker and I still joke about how she wanted to review our confidentiality procedures if she was going to submit the application paperwork. Whenever someone fails to do something related to confidentiality we bring up our scary lawyer-in-training interviewee as a sort of boogiewoman to scare them with.

former blazers are

Terry Porter, Brian Grant, Jerome Kersey, Chris Dudley and Dale Schulter (i think this is a former blazer, I honestly don’t know who that is.) It doesn’t give a setting, really, just a date and time it happens. I’m guessing it’d be in a room at the rose garden.

He was a big dude

But I can’t help but think his inability to maintain lean muscle inhibits his shower presence because of blood flow issues.

Though someone like Kersey prolly got the most work out of it, and it IS a muscle…

I seem to be good at getting jobs

I have been 10 minutes late to the interview and gotten the job.
My current job, I never even had an interview. I don’t think my boss ever noticed she never interviewed me. I’m not sure she even looked at my resume, based on some questions she’s asked about my background since.
In both cases, I’d been an intern and got really strong recommendations from coworkers. As long as you don’t suck, internships are an awesome way to get a job.

I did have one really terrible interview two years ago. I was trying to break into the accounting field after 15 years in government and non-profits. I had a 4.0 in my accounting classes, I had rocked a mock interview, I had some non-profit accounting experience, this firm mostly audited government and non-profts, my mother had served for three years on a non-profit board with my interviewer. Shoulda been a slam dunk.
Except not.

Guy looked at my resume, pretty much said, “why the heck do you want to be an accountant anyway,” and it was all downhill from there. He never did ask me a single “standard” interview question, didn’t know who my mom was (after three years!)
I’m pretty sure I didn’t want him to be my boss anyway.

I have no doubt the next 3 weeks Romo will be much better again against weaker opponents, and I’m not sure Big Ben can keep up his current pace in worse weather and against stronger teams which is better than what he has ever done e.g. in terms of sacks.

Potentially, though I'm pretty happy with how I stand otherwise. You can make up to six different offers at a time it seems :)

And it’s not that easy to extrapolate if e.g. Flacco stays that good, Brady gets better again, Romo stays like this or gets better again, etc. But that’s the risk.

You already traded Colston away, that would have worked :)

Maybe Jones for Jackson as part of a deal? ESPN currently has Jackson finishing 7 spots ahead of Jones in their rest-of-season RB ranking, and Yahoo also with a difference of +20 points for Jackson. The involved risk would be when Hasselbeck returns, and how much the split with Lynch cuts into Jackson’s production. So far not much.

Or one of the somewhat underrated rookies like Flynn or Evans. But Greg will be much better than what people who already think his first season is his ceiling expect.

Also nice that Durant continues to get credit for his fine ability to make those around him better, which is just plain wrong until now.

Some are talking of an old script written by Rodriguez back in the 1990s that never got made in which Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenneger) is abducted by the PREDATOR and brought to their homeworld for some inter-species gladiatorial games.

I'm ashamed to admit that I'm still quite shaken from reading Marvin's comment

I didn’t realise that I’d made such a simplistic analysis of my experience… But the problem was that there really wasn’t much to tell, practically nothing was noteworthy. I only made this JD ‘cos I’d promised Idol and because I was very interested in hearing what all of you had to say about the subject.

The tips and anecdotes were amazing! Memorable! (But of course I expected nothing else from you all) I am going to make a document and compile them all for posterity (and future reference).

Although I started to notice that usually only 2 guys on such bands can really sing. But it’s the same with girl groups.

The difficulty of detaining potential terrorists

is causing US forces to now kill people instead of detaining them: In Somalia a terrorist on the FBI list, was in a car, instead of arresting him, the US blew up his car via Apaches and then recovered his body…

While the standard operating procedure must remain capture and legal trial of suspected “enemies of the state”, I would buy in some cases the risk involved for ground forces or special ops like Delta Forces to capture someone and return safely is much higher than killing someone via an airstrike or Predator drone. The US surely also isn’t eager to produce more images of US soldiers captured and ultimately killed by warlords in Somalia. That region is pretty scary. Even in north east Kenya we constantly needed armed guards to not become robbed or kidnapped.

I worked for a high tech company but always hated interviewing

for internal jobs so my boss decided I should be on interview panels in order to get the hang of it and be more relaxed when I was an interviewee. I was on almost every interview panel for the next 10 years.

Some of my favorite interviewees:

One guy, when asked how he dealt with interpersonal conflict, told us he had had a lot of experience with interpersonal conflict because he’d been divorced 3 times and was working on his 4th.

One guy dropped his trousers to show us the gigantic scar on his butt.

One guy told us he had worked as an attendant at a ski resort. Someone was injured in a ski accident and had head injuries. Our interviewee was first on the scene. He called for advice on what to do for the injured guy and was told to not let the victim fall asleep. So he slapped the victim every time he started to fall asleep until the EMT’s got there.

One guy told us of how he dealt with interpersonal conflict while in the Navy. One of his fellow sailors was a petty thief so our interviewee and his buddies grabbed the perp and sealed him into a garbage barrel and left him there with the other barrels that would be tossed into the ocean later. When asked what happened to the perp he just shrugged his shoulders and didn’t say anything. So we moved on to the next question. Now I’m wondering if that guy could have been Tom?

My very early review of KP2's book (after reading probobly 2% of it)

They have one thing that a computer can’t really have in it’s algorithms – so far: That Peja is about to break down, their best utility player is aging too, and their SG gets killed by most others in the league.

Maybe we should involve some adjusted +/- guru

KP loves PER, but he also seems to love the new Mathletics book, and that is by such a guy. To get a more complete picture of individual performance, and performance of certain lineups and matchups.

E.g. PER would tell you that Antoine Wright sucks, but the coaches saw that he would suck much less on SF and actually can stop some players there, like the ones San Antonio had last season. Or that Dampier is fairly useless against mobile centers, but not against big guys like Shaq.

Preview of Petteri's team. Sounds like a pretty promising situation for him this season.

Virtus Bologna. Another example of decreasing investment is Bologna, where histrionic owner Claudio Sabatini tires of chasing Siena and has an actual worry in healing the team budget. His first step of the new season has been exalted from many sides, however: Putting Lino Lardo in guidance of the team is the best choice he could have make. The tactics-loving Lardo soon called over his former forward in Rieti, LeRoy Hurd, to make him the focus in the paint, while tiny Andre Collins, third in scoring last season with Ferrara at 17.5 points per game, has a broken finger and is out until December. To replace Collins, Bologna has taken on Scoonie Penn, surely in career descent but useful in teaching the playmaker’s arts to Petteri Koponen, a lad on whom Lardo trusts blindly. The rest of team is not so skilled, apart from David Moss (who played in Teramo last year), a great defender on four spots and who’s expected to develop offensively. Michele Maggioli returns to Serie A after four years of pure domination of the paint in Legadue; the challenge is to prove he’s not too for the first league. Diego Fajardo provides experience and raw talent, unfortunately he’s as old as Dusan Vukcevic. Viktor Sanikidze could remain out of the European players’ rotation; if not, expect him to broaden his technical skills.

AND it is Blake Griffin's first game at home

So tickets were pricier than normal really. Last year, I was like 5-8 rows up from courtside behind the basket for 15 bucks, but I didn’t really like the seats as much because I didn’t like the angle.

This one should be good.

Though none seem that jazzed out of the ones I know. I consider myself a party pooper when it comes to Griffin being a great player, and I gotta talk him up to them.

Ticketys were twice as spendy for the event though.

They could

That would mean a very substantial improvement, so they’d finally be on the right track if they do.

I think they can win 30 or so, depending on how squishy the middle of the West proves to be. If it’s still a 9-playoff-caliber teams, 30 wins will be tough. Westbrook should really improve and Durant score even more, and perhaps Green will be more than a minutes sopper upper.

I also think Harden will be a relatively mediocre version of what most experts predicted Roy would be… a good starter, solid, but not great.

I applied for a job as a programmer at a startup in Berkeley in the early '80s

They had one product — a program that helped you practice negotiation by running through various scenarios with you.

The hour during which I was interviewed went by without a hitch. I felt like the job was mine if I wanted it. So the interviewer/proprietor says he’s got to go to the post office and will be back in about 20 minutes. Do I want to try out their program while he’s gone? I say sure. He leaves and I start working with the negotiation scripts, trying out various functions, etc.

The program starts out asking what I want to negotiate about. I type in “a pay raise”. It asks me a series of questions like, “What would you do if your initial request is turned down?” There were tons of questions. After a while, I just started typing in random stuff to get to the next screen and see what the program would suggest at the end. I keyed in stuff like, “I’d kill the boss if he turned me down again.”

So I finished with my scenario and I figured I’d just delete all the stuff I’d typed in. But, the realization slowly dawned that I was not going to be able to just delete the session or any of my wacky responses. So, I packed up my brief case and high-tailed out of there before the guy came back.

He was probably ticked off that I’d split, but then after checking what I wrote he might have been thinking that he’d really dodged a bullet by not hiring a serial killer.

NASA hopes the impact will kick up enough dust to help the LCROSS probe find the presence of water in the moon’s soil. Four minutes later, the LCROSS will follow through the debris plume, collecting and relaying data back to Earth before crashing into the Cabeus crater near the moon’s south pole.
“We expect the debris plumes to be visible through midsized backyard telescopes — 10 inches and larger,” said Brian Day at NASA’s Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, California. Day is an amateur astronomer who is leading education and public outreach for the LCROSS mission.
“The initial explosions will probably be hidden behind crater walls, but the plumes will rise high enough above the crater’s rim to be seen from Earth,” Day said. The Cabeus crater lies in permanent shadow, making observations inside the crater difficult.

Cool fanpost just went up, Batum on Roy

EXCERPT:

The boss

Last season, I was his rookie. It’s better to be Brandon Roy’s rookie than Joel Przybilla’s rookie. He chose Jerryd Bayless and I can assure you that Jerryd went through hell… Joel didn’t stop asking him for different things. For me, I only had to take Brandon’s bag and bring it up to his room when we got to a hotel. That’s all. I knocked on his door to make sure that everything was fine and he would answer: “OK, Nic, thanks. Goodnight.” And then I could go. Bayless, however, had to go look for newspapers or different things for Przybilla. Rudy didn’t do anything. At first, with Rudy, we were supposed to bring in breakfast for all the players. Brandon was the one who had established this rule with Travis. I worked out a little plan with Rudy: we never brought what they asked for… We took shelter behind the language barrier to justify the lack of understanding. After a week, Brandon told us: “OK, forget it guys…” (laughs). As a result, we were relaxed: no breakfast duty in Portland! Only Sergio Rodriguez was aware of our little game.

When I was a kid.

My mom woke me up in the morning (of a school day) strangely calm and informed me there was a fire in our garage. She had just gotten back from a run. She got the water hose and ran it through our house to the garage and started watering the fire. It was up to me to call 911…I was not shaken or anything, just really really sleepy and forgot my address. The dispatcher had it in front of her somehow and I confirmed it was the one. What had happened was our water heater short circuited. If my mom had come home later it would have been a thousand times worse.

The second time was when a guy backed up into me and was getting belligerent. I was 17 or so.

So I got inspired this week to do my Flip recording for the Retro game...

I got about 29 emails from folks in the military at various places who read BEdge and ask that I send them my footage.

So I’m gonna work extra hard to do a good job for them with the Retro game…

Another reason Blazers should broadcast everything online….

that was my first reaction too

According to the Nobel Foundation, “for advancing nuclear disarmament and his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”

“Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future,” the Norwegian committee said as the prize was announced.

“His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world’s population.”

Anyway congrats to the US president, hopefully this won’t be used as political ammunition by Beck, Malkin and the rest (not a chance).

seems weird to give him one while he is in office

has any other president been awarded the Nobel while in office?

Isaac Rabin (Israel, 1994), and Kim Dae-Jung (South Korea, 2000). Kofi Annan was also awarded the Peace Prize while being Secretary General of the UN.

They managed to do so with Gore :)

http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-october-15-2007/gore—-peace

Well, sometimes the Nobel Foundation tries to foster developments with their awards. But it does seem very premature. Give him that when a number of states and the US really have disarmed nuclear weapons, he has brought peace to Israel and Palestine, pulled out of Iraq and it works, or developments like that.

This was a great JD. But I didn’t tell the story about the time I was interviewing someone that my co-employee swore was a girl but was actually a guy. Or about the week of interviews where we had 50% no shows. That was fun too. I only got to tell my scary pre-lawyer interview story. Oh well. Great JD!

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.
