nws01 0 #1 October 8, 2002 So I am in the process of interviewing applicants for the Chief Enginner position in the hotel. This guy in his mid 60's comes in. I am completing the interview process and tell the man that some of the work will require him to shovel snow in the winter. He replys, "I lift weights." He then stands, removes his jacket and begins flexing for me. I am trying my hardest not to laugh. I said, "Sir, please have a seat I do not need you to flex for me." Later in the interview I tell him that I will need to have a background check completed on all applicants. He then gets his wallet out and hands me a small document. He tells me he is able to carry a gun legally and that he could provide security if needed too. I ended the interview and told him, "We may call you back." This kind of freaked me out.

Deuce 1 #3 October 8, 2002 I don't know, Nathan, he's overcoming age discrimination by overcompensating, but age discrimination is a toughie, even for qualified applicants. If he's really bizarre, and you have quit anyway, hire him! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nws01 0 #4 October 8, 2002 Quote hire him! I can see it now. I would say, "Will you do me a favor and take out the trash?" He would say, "You know that I have the right to carry a gun!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deuce 1 #7 October 8, 2002 Pfft! My wife would ask me to take out the trash when I was WEARING my freaking gun. "Take this out, honey" (Cliff Claven gesture to huge Glock on hip) "Whatever. Toss that in while you're out there. Now, get this out of here, it stinks...." (Slinking, heavily armed, to the side yard with a bag-o-trash)Have you given them your notice? Hire the guy!

Sebazz1 2 #12 October 8, 2002 Sounds actually like a guy who has his shit together. He's in good physical shape. And if he is allowed to carry a side arm he probably has a squeeky clean record. Also when you give people a chance they will repay you with loyalty... I find it hard to determine wierd and not wierd a lot... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deuce 1 #15 October 8, 2002 From Holland? Isn't zat vierd? I think he's in Scotland somewhere, and with a new baby he can be expected to be posting while the little whippersnapper is puking up yogurty stuff on a towel on his shoulder at any time of the day or night.

Magistr8 0 #17 October 8, 2002 I'm with you sebazz. I think he is showing you his sense of humor. Yes it is wierd but I think is sounds kind of funny. If he's qualified I would hire him, sounds like he would be a BLAST to have a round. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools."

nacmacfeegle 0 #18 October 9, 2002 "Watching a new Mom express breastmilk with a double pneumatic pump = weird. Right NacMac?" Right on! Still hypnotised by the way the nipple sort of gets sucked into the thing (its made from clear plastic so you can get a real close up view), and watching it 'skoosh'......I'm in Scotland, I have a kilt, anyone wanna see snaps? Do ya huh? My neighbour plays the bagpipes, thankfully he practices in the hours of daylight. It was nice to hear the lilting drone the other day when I was out walking the dog, and the bairn....The only surreal thing was the tune he was playing...can you believe 'Nights in White Satin'? -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

fudd 0 #19 October 9, 2002 Sounds like he would be fun to have around. Probably he did those things with a little humour. Old people aren't allways boring people. Living 60 years in this crazy world have to make you a little wierd anyway. There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Keith 0 #22 October 9, 2002 QuoteI can see it now. I would say, "Will you do me a favor and take out the trash?" He would say, "You know that I have the right to carry a gun!" Careful how you phrase things Nate. He just may shoot the garbage. Kinda like that scene in Analyze This where Billy Chrystal tells Robert Dinero that a good way to relieve stress is to hit a pillow so Robert Dinero pulls out his gun and shoots the pillow.Keith Don't Fuck with me Keith - J.

AggieDave 6 #23 October 9, 2002 QuoteHe tells me he is able to carry a gun legally and that he could provide security if needed too I think the point is that he already has had a background check, since in MOST states its pretty involved to get a CCW, but then again it was stupid on his part to flex and give you his CCW card...--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Muenkel 0 #24 October 9, 2002 Nathan, Welcome to New England! I once interviewed a woman (also hotel industry), under "interests" on her resume were....erotica, bead making, color crayons, frollicking, sleeping and meditating with the trees. I am totally not kidding. The only reason I interviewed her was for the fun of it and also the erotica caught my eye. She came to the interview in total dyke garb and a dog collar. Oh well, as they say, "Celebrate Diversity". _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
