I get to interact with you a bit on Facebook but it's not the same.<br /><br />Yeah, you, your daughter, my wife and I... and probably a whole lot of other people giggle at those ridiculous questionnaires for the same reason. I tried to capture the essence of the "thrill" of it all as you call it. And yeah, this is what you will have to look forward to in the future when you start job hunting. Crazy, confusing questions. It would be great if you could answer questions like the ones I provided. At least mine are honestly silly.<br /><br />Take care, Rebecca! Great to see you again.

I must say, you really captured the "thrill" of the job search experience. So....is this what I get to look forward to as I start sending resumes out? If only they'd ask me to answer your questions:).

I've been slacking in the blogging department because it was literally keeping me down.<br /><br />I strongly agree with that, too, regarding the applications and their questions. You're right. People just lie on those things. Hell, they lie on resumes, too, about what they can do. Anything for a job.<br /><br />So, in short, I strongly agree. Those types of questionnaires are useless.

I've been really sick with the flu the past three days. dizzy, head and chest full of phlegm and running a fever. It's no fun.<br /><br />One of your comments... 'your burning need to feel superior to batshit eater, said sure I can help you' struck me as funny. <br /><br />Oh yeah, it sure was a challenge to see who could fake sanity better. It was something else. Your powers of observation and ability to read between the lines is something else, too. I'm awfully impressed. :) You deserve recognition of some kind. :)<br /><br />What happened? You asked. Hmmm. Well, after hours upon hours (back when I was flu-free and thinking straight), I got frustrated with the stupid questions they had on these applications. So... being the insane guy I am, I decided to go outside and chase all the neighborhood cats, waving my arms up and down, shouting, "OOGA BOOGA! I'm coming to suck out your kitty brains, you little dickens!"<br /><br />The cops were called, of course. I got placed in a sanitarium. And that's where I'm writing from now, as we speak.<br /><br />In answer to your last question, I can't say that I see the irony here but I can certainly see the silver-y. Hahahahahahaha.

(It's one if my secret super powers) and this is what I got: <br /><br />Your crazy batshit eating friend came to you for help trying to fake normal on a job application. You, with your burning need to feel superior to batshit eater, said sure I can help you. But you couldn't help her, could you Kelly? No, because this was not a challenge to prove who needed a labotomy more. No, quite the opposite. It was a challenge to see who could fake sanity better, wasn't it? <br /><br />So what happened? You and batshit eater drive yourselves even further past the thresholds of insanity just to try and prove you could fake normal, which of course neither of you could. Now isn't that right Kelly?<br /><br />Am I the only one who sees the irony here?

Which I hope you strongly agree with. Rather strangely, my human friend, your questions regarding application forms are very close to the truth. In fact, a lot of times the questions are formulated in such a way that they are trying to catch you out. Very much like government forms these days. <br /><br />All the beast,<br /><br />Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar! :)klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046843553802315058.post-5199056416139284132013-01-08T14:16:27.805-07:002013-01-08T14:16:27.805-07:00Bazza- Hmmm.

I've heard several different and for their reasoning behind it from different people from different countries. I think every company in every nation does it for their own reason(s), (perhaps some are the same) but I still think they try to make it into some sort of psychological evaluation. I've read where that is also true, too. <br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed and saw the absurdity I was trying to mimic with my own set of questions. I "strongly agree" that I "agree" that people, once they get the interview, will "usually somewhat" get the job.

How many twists and turns did it take for you to figure out how to solve the puzzle and escape? Wouldn't that have been really neato if they had made a Rubik's cube that was totally grey on all sides and if you put the squares in just the right combination on all sides, a genie would appear and grant you 3 wishes?<br /><br />Yes, I did know that you were laid out and up with disabilities. I know that from reading your blog and some of the comments you've made in the past. I empathize with you. <br /><br />You're lucky, though, in one respect. You can get "Fart on Demand." I have to really push to get that and then I usually wind up up with "butt pudding" in my underwear. Oops. I just let out my little secret. :) Speaking of stuff that is brown, I hope you enjoy your brownies.<br /><br />I hate to say it but your Toadie Doll had an accident in his pants an won't be able to make it. I can still send you his special pudding, however. :) He said it was okay for me to do that. Yes, dolls talk to me. So do the squirrels. They think I'm nuts.<br /><br />Take care, Dixie!

I damned near agreed to have an anxiety attack... memories of working for the "Rubicks" company...damn that umbrella!! And where were the happy primary colors? Hm? (50 shades of cubical grey)aagh.<br /><br />I too am laid out/up/? due to disabilities. Sometimes when my brain strongly disagrees... my body ignores the f-k out of me. (Have you noticed that I seem to strongly disagree with lots of shit?)Except for 'fart on demand'... the cable company includes it for free.<br /><br />My condolences to those who contend with this shit, no not your post, but the screwy questionnaires.

After putting up with this kind of nonsense, in the past and other craziness while being on the job, I'm glad I'm not in the workforce during these times.

Make. Your. Choice.<br /><br />As someone who had to apply for a job recently, this one hit home. I got one interview with an application that was done this way and learned the entire reason they do this application is because the HR person is too dumb and lazy to be trusted with reading resumes so they did this automated application. It's the only interview I wasn't so desperate to land the job so I laughed at them and left the interview.<br />That type of application is for despicable sadists. Which is why your questions are awesome.Pickleopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13772003052474877906noreply@blogger.com
