Random Thoughts 1-22-2012

    If you were at a job interview and the interviewer said, “I have interviewed three people for this job. Why should I pick you as the one to hire?”, and you answered, “Well the first guy you interviewed doesn't dress well and he's too short, and the second guy cheats on his wife, so thats why you should hire me.” do you think you will get the job? I doubt it, because you didn't give the interviewer any reason to hire you, just reasons to not hire the others. I can't imagine that approach working in a normal job interview, so why does it seem to be so popular with politicians? “Vote for me because the other guy wears funny underwear.”, “Vote for me because the other guy has too much money.”, “Vote for me because the other guy isn't conservative/liberal enough.” Those comments about the others may or may not be true, but it tells me nothing about your qualifications.

    Managers will tell you that in the software business and some other office jobs, the quiet introvert is the one who does the best work and in the shortest time. So why is it that when interviewing for job openings, it's always the aggressive, self-confident extrovert who gets hired?

Let a man return into his own self, and there in the center of his soul, let him wait upon God, as one who listens to another speaking from a high tower, as though he had God in his heart, as though in the whole of creation there was only God and his soul.” ~St. Peter of Alcantara

A woman robbed a Burger King and got away unidentified. But she called the place with her cell phone to ask if they had got her license plate number. They assured her that they didn't, but thanks to the call, they now had her cell phone number and traced her with it.

Better the second time: A guy in Florida, drunk and on Oxycontin, got arrested for casing a disturbance in his neighborhood. A few hours later, he was released from the jail but was quickly rearrested when he was found trying to break into cars in the jail parking lot.

A woman stole another woman's credit card at a gas station but was quickly arrested when she used it to buy lunch at the McDonald's just across the street.

And another cell phone OOPS! A guy burglarized a home, but wasn't hard to find since he accidentally left his cell phone in the house he burgled.
