Someone should write up a rule-book for VD Drafting.

I just got my kid started up on Dungeons and Dragons. Man, I haven't played this in like 30 years - it's so fun. We spent most of the day creating characters. I also just learned that one of my buddies runs some sort of campaign for his kids and a couple other kids, lol. I'm so in!

Cool! I played with two groups of kids in the early 80s. Remember the whole controversy that it caused kids to go on murder sprees? LOL, conservatives!

Had a job interview today. I hope this is the last one of my life. I hate that shit. I probably should not have mentioned my passion for VD as a hobby

Suffered through multiple VDs is always a good way to put it.

Good luck!

I decided many years back that I was going to flip the script on places I interviewed with. Since that day, every interview I've gone into was with the idea that I am actually interviewing them and not vice versa. And I have pushed it to the extreme. When I get asked those stupid questions about "what's your strength" or "what's your greatest weakness" or whatever, I just flip it around and say my greatest strength is making sure I can be a productive member of a progressive team empowered to do good work and, dear employer, with that in mind I have many questions to ask you. Deciding I was actually interviewing these places was one of the most liberating decisions I've ever made. And, oddly enough, it led to really great results in terms of job offers and whatnot. Apparently not giving a fuck is a desirable trait, lol.

Never forget that you should have the same amount of loyalty to your job that they have to you. In nearly every case, that's none at all.


I work for myself now.

"I am obsessed with VD."

That'll get 'em.

lol, I like your attitude. Wish I could pull that off. I am subject to the corporate processes of my overlord. I wasn't even going to apply for this job, but the hiring manager talked to my manager(same company and organization) and they asked me to. Because it is basically a job I did for years and years and they didn't have other good candidates apparently. But they have to follow the interview process.

Sooooo...we get to the interview and they tell me there are 5 questions and after the first question, I need to respond in a corporate approved format (don't get me started). So there is no flexibility, it is going thru a checklist of how I respond to the 4 pre-packaged questions. None of the interview has anything to do with my qualifications ...it is just about how I answer the questions which relate to recalling specific experiences and examples of how I am an amazing employee and leader. There were a few awkward period of silence. Honestly, I should have been silent for like 5-10 minutes, because there checklist doesn't have any penalty for delay of game. The whole interview was focused on how good of a BSer you are and how you can recall (or make up) great stories about yourself.

Anyway, the whole thing never really talked about my overall work experience and performance, but instead focused on me recalling anecdotes from my 30 years at this company. They didn't even ask anything about why I would be a good fit for the job, or how my experience would help me succeed in the position. It is apparently the process they need to follow, but what an incredible waste of time. Anyway, glad it's done and hope I don't have to suffer thru it again. Hopefully they aren't tracking my RJ account and reading this, lol

my greatest weakness is that I work too hard for the company and neglect my personal life....or wait, is that my greatest strength ? Confusing sometimes.

so when was the last time any of you got out your glove and actually played catch with a baseball ? I think it was about 15 years for me if you count softball. Haven't swung a bat in that long as well. Maybe I need to go the batting cage
