*job interviewer voice*
Where do you see yourself in ten years?
I would never ask that kind of question to someone I am inerviewing for a job.
Not long after starting to work where I work now, the director at the time called me into his office. He kept asking me all kinds of weird questions. I thought he was firing me. Several times he asked what I wanted to be doing in 5 years. I had answered him each time with something professionally-related. By the time he asked it again, I replied that I’d like to get married. He repiled, “Aw, s**t, you can get any old pair of pants to marry you.” I was ready to cry by then. Looking back now, I probably should have sued him to teach him a lesson.

Sweet child, I’m fifty-one, how do you think I feel? Enjoy your youth, years fly by without you noticing it.

I hate that question – usually it’s asked about the next 5 years. Fans of Family Guy will remember Peter Griffin’s thought in his head when asked that question:
“Don’t say ‘doing your wife’.
“Don’t say ‘doing your wife’.
“Don’t say ‘doing your wife’.
Once, after learning more about the company and the job itself in the first 5 minutes of the interview, I made the decision that I did not want the job. When that gem of a question came up, my answer was, “sitting in your chair”. I was never presented with an offer.

I’ve been thinking of that bit this entire time.

Yes– Little Girl.

Seriously…. technology. On one hand it is an extremely useful tool for communication, learning, etc. On the other hand it can be an annoying distraction. It must be balanced I suppose.

Yes, I agree with this. So handy at times, so annoying when you need to do something urgently but Windows wants to do an update 🙂
And in HK the MTR was efficient but very crowded; while the trams were slow but much more relaxing.

With out tech, we would be Hunter gatherers chasing down prey and killing it with our bear hands and living in caves and not having any clothing.

Was “bear’ deliberate or an interesting slip of the wrist?
