Why recruiters suck

Bam, that’s an entree right? lol. I just read another example of how retarded intakes are with recruiters. In the article, they talk about recruiters having the tendency to start to ask you weird questions to try and find out whose truly sitting behind that table, right. I’ve had my share of intakes with recruiters, but why try and pretend you’re looking for creative and motivated people when the only kind of answer you like at those ‘weird’ questions is a rather plain normative accepted one? So here’s some of my answers to those questions XD.

1. You get into an elevator with your future boss. You have ten seconds to impress him. What do you say?
You know what guy in office 4b? “What guy?”. Exactly, I have his desk now.
2. Describe yourself in one word.
Omni-directional, that’s why that assignment was too easy. Need a dictionary to look that one up?
3. What would you do with 1 million pingpong balls?
Ask lotto where my prize money is. [In holland there's a commercial for a lottery where yellow pingpong balls fall.]
4. You can ask a question to someone in history. Who would that be and what is the question?
God [because he's ancient history]. The question is “Why do I need to be sitting here with you?”.
5. What’s hot in music, cars, jeans, shopping, and jewelry and such?
Consultant: What about tv programs?
Programmer: Error, too many parameters.
Accountmanager: Whatever I think it is.

Me: Everything that everybody else has never heard of.
6. How many airplanes are there in the world?
504.300 and a half.
Why the half?

Were you on the Moon during that airplane crash of last february?
7. How do you get the confidence of clients or managers with over 30 years of experience?
I’ll give them confidence to retire. J/k. Human relations don’t work when you need to give someone confidence you’ll be able to do the job. If you can’t, they’ll notice soon enough.
8. If I would call your boyfriend/girlfriend, what would they share about you?
Good luck calling, because the phone won’t be picked up. N/a.
To be fair, don’t you just want to call one of my ex boyfriends?
9. Tell me a joke.
*knock knock*. I’m finished. I just always wanted to do a *knock knock* joke.
10. What if you had a big bag of money, what would you do?
I just never thought about it because I had an appointment with you.

I love practising my sarcasm. XD. Yeah, I’m a handful, I sometimes pity my bosses, but naw then I think try harder!

I’m glad he’s his friend

“treating this matter in a serious way, is it correct…living in this world, i don’t think there’s a definite answer…” by Toma.

I occasionally get to read Toma’s translations for jweb, often because Yamacupcake spoke about him. ^_^. Maa~ Toma’s saying struck a chord with me.

Honest people are indeed the fools of this world, though, like Toma, I think it is no use trying to go in circles with that. I come home every day to see my dad swearing at the television watching the business news. It’s where he hears what kind of ridiculous bonuses some people got, you know. That’s 200 honest people living off a stick because some guy (let’s just bold the word) that’s apparently magically talented (don’t break my mouth open) needs to earn a 10 million bonus on top of a ridiculous salary to start with.

Toma should hang out with Cupcake more often for obvious reasons.

Weird dream, includes Johnny’s

Yes it’s that time again! I’m going to share a dream, or at least, fragments I remember.

Snippet 1: I was on an airplane with someone and that airplane was just making really weird maneuvres in the air. Nobody thought anything of it, though I was rather scared.

Snippet 2: We (a group of people) were at the docks of some kind of river. People were crossing the river ‘to act like tough guys and girls’. I stood there and watched how people slipped and fell.

Snippet 3: We (the same group of people) were having a sleepover, though, the location looked somewhat like caverns of some sort. In any case, here’s where Akanishi Jin enters the picture (Yes, I know, Random). He was badgering people all over the place and when he tried to badger me, I just lifted up my bedsheet and said “you try badgering me, have a whif of that!” and stuck my foot under his nose. He leaned backwards and said something like “she isn’t kidding” before cracking up in complete laugh spasms which I myself in my dream found rather funny. lol

Snippet 4: This is one I call “the wet dream”. For some reason Yamapi was hanging up laundry. No, not naked like I wanted him to be but his clothes were soaking soaking wet while hanging up that laundry. It wasn’t raining or anything and I guess I missed the good part about how the clothes got that way. Here’s something new though: he had something like a mole towards the back, right side of his hip. It was visible through his clothes. I remember I was greatly fascinated by it. lol.

Conficker

Remember that patch in October? Well if you didn’t install it, you might have been infected. Estimates say 12 million pc’s worldwide might be infected by this worm. It supposedly activates April 1st and has instructions to contact some servers. lol. “April Fool’s”. Aah, what memories that brings back of MS Blast. ‘Conficker‘, what a lame name.
