In an interview today..
Me - "So tell me why you say on your resume you're a hard worker and respectful of others"
Girl - "Ok, well...(cell phone noise)... just a second" she then proceeded to to pull out her phone and answer a text... "Sorry, didn't want to let her forget we were going out tonight"
Me - "Don't worry about, you can just call her now, and let her know you're done"
*facepalm*

I'm hoping for one of those interviews where he asks me questions about WitP functions, we shoot the breeze for a bit, I get hired on the spot for an exorbitant salary and then take him out for drinks to the pub on the corner. [:D]

Here's hoping, eh? [:D]
When he asks about your hobbies, just do not tell him the truth. Golf, masturbation and strangling small animals doesn't go over well with the hiring set. [:-]
