Congrats.

I had an interview a couple months ago for the first time in 6 years. The guy apologized to me and said “Sorry- we have to ask this of everyone…what makes you weird?”

You get any questions like that?

I got asked once if I were a tree, what kind of tree would I be. I'm 6'1", so I said I would be a tall tree and then hastily added a tall, strong, steady tree like an Oak.

I would’ve said a Willow. While I look all nice and majestic above ground, below the surface, I’m doing some real damage.

 

[Lempo]

Rowan. As the fall progresses I turn red and slightly alcoholic.

I used to do a lot of college recruiting for a Fortune 500 company. One time, I was at Worcester Polytech Institute with another guy from our company. There were these frosted glass booths we had to conduct interviews in. I could see that the interview he had lasted no more than a couple minutes so later on I asked him what happened.

He said a guy came in, 4.0 GPA wearing a 3 piece suit with a mohawk and Kyle Dubas style glasses. the interviewer asked the boring question of "what's your ideal job", and the guy responded: "Sitting on my ass making a million bucks". He dismissed the guy right then and there. Clearly the guy already had a job and was just f***ing with him.

I didn’t get any of those which makes me nervous. Just tell me about yourself/experience type questions with the dept manager, a tour of the plant, and then more tell me about yourself with operations management. Seems like they’re looking for a personality or culture fit.

my work history is very unique, dealing with services from multiple points of view, a lot of real world work that many in that position never had per my boss conversation today, I would likely walk into that job after my raise as one of the highest paid lol since most of them was hired off the street a few years ago, where I have 20 years in

You know anybody with a leaf blower ain't picking up no damned rake. Come on, now.

If you want to actually get rid of the leaves and not just move them from one place to another, you'll need a rake.

Once in my student years we were up on my friend's balcony drinking beer and watching a worker blowing leaves off from the driveway. It was a really windy day and it took like 5 minutes for the wind to shove the already-blown leaves back, so it didn't look very productive. When the worker was "done" (so, he had used the leaf blower for the whole driveway), he shut it off and lit a cigarette. We shouted at him and asked why he's doing that on a weather like this. He replied "boss ordered, I'm getting paid".

I envy people who can have that attitude. He's still one of my heroes.

I mean, it's an engineer-designed and standardized procedure, stupid workman don't go changing it on his own whim.

Mrs. Hank uses a reverse blower that sucks the leaves up and mulches them.

I don't do shit to leaves, because leaves ain't never done shit to me.

 

[hockeynjune]

Mulch em into the natural areas with the Zturn. Means more lime in the spring but I sit on the mower the whole time.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

A chainsaw solves the problem permanently.

This is, in fact, exactly what we did with our Bradford pears. We don't have leaves anymore, just pine straw at the back tree line.
