[QUOTE=lavacano;51045285]Actually, yes, same problem with taxis.
The odds of [b]every[/b] person on that bus working together to be a threat to me are astronomically low.
Really, all you've proven with this post is you're a giant douchebag. Are you proud?[/QUOTE]
I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, but I can calm you down, the people on the bus don't have to work together, bystander effect assures that you'll probably get no help if any one of them 'poses a threat'.

Seriously, is he your dad? He totally could be.
Nope but he's still an awesome guy. When I was in San Jose three years ago I was invited to tour his museum just before he started refurbishing the barn followed by dinner in town and I got to camp in his yard before he headed off to Burning Man. Best summer ever.
I remember being in the same situation as that guy when I got my first computer.
I wanted to unscrew the side panels of my case while it was on and plugged in. I unscrewed one, lost it in the PSU grill, and destroyed my PSU and a breaker tripped. It was horrifying, but it reinforced the whole "don't fuck around the psu area while it is on" for me.

I got back from an interview today for this video editor job at NightOwl Security Products. I'd be the guy making the guide videos, helping with documentation, that kind of thing.
Interview felt weird though. Even though I had everything they wanted and they guy said I was a perfect fit I left feeling like I didn't even want the job. Anyone ever feel that before?

How did you feel chatting with your potential bosses? It could be the atmosphere that could have not wanted you to do so.
Being a video editor, you could probably space it all out when you get your editing desk all personalized.
He was nice and answered all my questions. Though he did actually, legit, use the question: "What is your biggest flaw?"
"...really? this the first interview where someone actually asked that."
"Well, what is it?"
"...."
From then on out, I didn't feel like I belonged there.

Yeah. Had the same feeling about my current job.

I dunno that's been pretty par for the course for a lot of my interviews, don't worry about it. I had an interview today and the dude threw me an absolute fucking curveball that there was no correct answer to though.
"So you have 3 tickets coming in at once, and the other IT staff is busy, how do you handle them?
Ticket 1 The CFO has a board meeting in half an hour and his laptop isn't working
Ticket 2 The general manager is having issues printing some documents and has a meeting with an important client in an hour
Ticket 3 One of the engineer's workstations has crashed"
His ideal answer completely depended on me knowing specific office dynamics that there was no way for me to have a clue on.
I thought "What's your biggest flaw?" was a very common question to come up in interviews. I got it for a majority of the jobs I worked.
The GM who was sitting in on the interview said he liked my answer more than my interviewers though :v:

I've never been asked that during any of my interviews.
Maybe it depends on the job-sector you're interviewing for. Never ever got asked it for any "Creative" job or media related job.
I've only done retail and quality assurance.
Maybe some of my feelings stem from me not wanting to abandon my current contract work. I love the job there and I feel part of the family. And it would be so difficult to still work for them if I got this position.
I didn't even seek this nightowl job, it came to me. I wish I could find other part time editing to fill in the gap.

I remember being asked a similar question for a 3 month job posting, my answer was "getting incredibly irritated when somebody asks stupid questions"
I did get the job, but I blind-sided the interviewer by answering in a calm and sincere yet serious tone, and she was also part of HR, so that kinda explains why I wasn't offered a permanent position :v:
