Hump Day

My office is right outside Conferance room B, the interview room. I actually had my interview with the firm there. I also witnessed the firing of one of the most notorious disliked attorneys I've seen come through here. That was satisfying.

 

We are currently interviewing for secretaries. That is what I am witnessing today. Our HR lady is notoriously incompetent and so New York that it is debilatating. What do I mean? We've been working understaffed for 5 months and she hasn't found replacements yet. The one replacement she did find was a guy whose car broke down on his way to DC so he decided to stay in North Carolina. She's impersonal, loud, likes to hear her own voice, avoids eye contact and when she has nothing to say in response, she'll use a "well, that's that," or "That's what they say," or "Okay, all well then."

 

The latest woman that walked into interview chugged down a gatorade before walking into the conferance room. She talked about her high school word processing class - which wouldn't be so bad except she's 50 +. I also heard her utter, "I love to work."

 

Really?
