And X songs played on the organ.

So wife and I met our friends, Peter and "No Baby" Nicole in Las Vegas. "No Baby" Nicole used to live there, she invites us to her grandfather's house for his birthday party. Says he's an Elvis impersonator and there should be dozens at the party. I say "Fist of all, will these dozens of Elvis Impersonators be in costume?, and Second: How the fuck have I known you 5 years and you never told me your grandfather is a fuckin Elvis Impersonator?!?!?!" So we get to this little suburban house, and it's a fucking ELVIS SHRINE, every inch of every wall from living room to kitchen to bathroom was all Elvis. There wasn't dozens, but maybe "a" dozen, and yes they were dressed and all taking turns at Karakoe. I volunteered my services as well (I performed "His Latest Flame") and when it was over and done, I had a pocket full of business cards from assorted Elvises! Free booze of course, if there were pills I sure couldn't find them. We stayed about 2 hours, had an absolute blast.

That sounds fun. Nothing like that around here in passive-aggression land.

Is it ok to ask the leader of the Labour Party if she is planning to have children if she wins the election and therefore whilst she is Prime Minister. Discuss.

Only if you ask a male candidate the same thing.

Just wasted a fuck-ton of time applying for a job that I don't know if I'd even want, or if it'll even work out given that I'm teaching this fall. But, apart from them having my own c.v., all the same information had to be entered again, and, best of all, a personality quiz and horseshit questions about what I admire most and least in bosses and clients. All it really did was make me more wary of the company, which, in its own way, just freed my mind to answer without any game playing.

Maybe that was the intent? Are they that smart?

An interesting business strategy, if so. Regardless, my "what the hell?" decision to apply has been succeeded by a "you're going to have to impress me" stance.

I like the cut of your jib. I don't know if I'd want to work for a place that would put me through that. Imagine what the culture is like.

Precisely. Surely we all have better things to do with our time than have me subconsciously reveal that I will grow more and more disenchanted by group work that reveals my partners to be lazy and incompetent.
