I'm temporarily back in my apartment.  Kitchen floors are done -- beautiful-- but there is dust and debris everywhere. I'm in a cleaning frenzy that has been going on for about three hours so far, and it's not even close to clean in here.  Aargh!!

So I'm just gonna give you a quick best-story-I-heard-today:


My sister-in-law works at a large public garden space.  Today, she was interviewing job applicants for the position of security guard at the gift shop.  They ask applicants a series of questions that include how they would respond to various scenarios.  Here's the Q & A:

Q:  What would you do if you encountered an elderly woman slipping merchandise into her purse?

A:  I'd give her a karate chop.


Later!

Okay so the new floors are an A+ but I'd give the interviewee an -umm, not sure what grade that comes under...

Just make sure there are no vampires in the dust and the debris - because you know, this pesky resurrection business...

I'm more worried about pests than pesky vampires -- mice, in particular. All the baseboards have been replaced, but there are still some holes in the walls and floor that need to be fixed, and the rest of the work won't begin for 2-3 weeks. I'm going to stuff all the cracks with steel wool -- I'm terrified of rodents.

And I hope to post at least a ficlet tomorrow, to make up for all this yammering about home improvement.

Well, obviously the person applying for the security guard position doesn't believe in age discrimination. Lordy be.

She said he answered with a placid smile and a perfectly reasonable voice, and she had to pretend to have a coughing fit to cover up bursting into laughter.

That just makes it even better. Oh my stars.

But just one question: Did he get the job? *snorfle*

A karate chop? Wow. Guessing that person didn't get the job.
