Multiple posting violations in a very short time span. He tried to come back under a different username, but failed at hiding his stupidity and was caught. __________________ (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻"The enemy has been destroyed, sir. So have the forest, the city, your palace, your dog . . ." —Keldon soldier

I asked a few months ago if there was any interest and didn't get a single response, so took that as a sign. If enough people want to bring it back, I'd gladly fire up another round of interviews. __________________ There's no need to fear, UNDERDOG is here!All your Gruul Nodorogs are belong to me.

They sell ponies on eBay? On a related, but side note...isn't the plural form of Pony weird looking when typed out?

Are there rules or guidelines of how it works and what can and can not be asked? If you fire it up I'd most likely be interested.

IIRC, I have never signed up for one. Well, that is I have never can remember if I did. Anyone know if I did or did not? __________________ 30th in refs on Motl! #1 Ref's for Arizona!

So some coworker/friends of my wife introduced me to Unicorn meat, which lead to an actual cease-and-desist letter. I'm sure some of you may have already known about it, but I haven't been able to stop laughing yet.

Well.. life just loves to mess around with me over and over again.We've got the whole car thing sorted out (The other insurance company decided the accident was Amala's fault and refuses to pay a dime). But now.. the company that Tom and I work for has decided that this will be our last week with them. They have lost work to another company and our jobs are being terminated. There is a chance that the other company may hire us, but it's nothing definite. Merry Christmas to us, m i rite? Thanks, Jazaray

I went down to Texas for a job interview few days ago. About an hour before the interview, I found out that my grandfather had passed (and my folks didn't tell me due to them not wanting me to know till after the interview).I had about 45 minutes from breaking down in the car to either decide to reschedule the interview or go through with it. I went through with it, lasted a while think it went ok. Against my better judgement Friday afternoon I called and had explained what had happened prior so as to explain any sort of emotional distress I had. Do you think I jeopardized it?

First off, sorry for the loss of your Grandfather. It sounds like you were very close to him. Second, I don't think you jeopardized your chances to get hired. You probably did better than you think. If they noticed anything, your explanation would have cleared it up. If it gave them reason to not hire you, probably a blessing in disguise.

Thanks. I had left a voice mail and had not heard back but hopefully just the nature of being so close to the holidays. I thought I was meeting with one person for an hour, instead I wound up with three for two hours.

That's not a bad thing. Long interviews bode well. If you weren't worth their time, they'd have ditched you after a polite 30 or 40 minutes.

They can inform you about that a week before? That's criminal! Hope the other company hires you! If 'car' were a brand name and you'd get a dime for each time you type that somewhere, you'd be rich.

You'll drive yourself crazy trying to think too hard about how long it takes to get a response, especially depending on whether it was a private or public sector job. Sometimes the hiring process just gets dragged out because certain pieces have to fall in place before management can move ahead with hiring plans. I've been there multiple times and wait is often excruciating.
