Oh, I do get razed for a few misstatements I've made, and some that I haven't but could make. If done in small doses it should remain funny, not often or it would lose its humor.
One -- good for you! I hope you get the job. Luck'll tell, but a bribe is always a good idea ...
Two -- Is this the flameboard? NO. If you want to start screaming at me over a quote G.W. Bush said (during one of the debates, wasn't it?), then either EMAIL me, or take it to the flameboard. Now, how about we move the discussion to the flameboard before Sol has to intervene, okay?

Well, surprise, surprise, surprise. I just got a call from the branch manager. She said that the lady downtown had just faxed her my application. Apparently, I got lost in the system. It's a good thing I e-mailed her to ensure that my application wasn't thrown out arbitrarily after the stated six month guarentee of it being kept in the system. I have an interview tomorrow at two o'clock. Patience is a virtue...

Good luck with the interview. Just stay calm and expand on every question they ask you. As long as you don't talk about the Bible

But not too much, mind, or you'll suffocate them in that tiny room where the interview'll be held.
Good luck - I'm job-hunting as well.

Well, the interview went well. Turns out that this position was just created, and that's why it's open. This library should have five pages, and only had three. The fourth was just authorized by the HR department, but they have yet to fill it. They held the interviews last week, but thanks to some timely e-mails to the Director of Human Resources, my application got faxed to the branch where it should have been all along, apparently with a DIRECTIVE to interview me. Seemingly, I did well on the test. Meaning I can read. Go figure.
Anyway, she seemed decently impressed. When asked what I thought the sum of the job was, I said that I was basically to do small tasks so as to save the time of more qualified persons. She liked that. She also liked my answer to the question about what I'd do if I was scheduled to come in to work tomorrow, and was offered some tickets to [insert event here]. I said I'd take the tickets and sell them on eBay, then come to work.

Ah ha! Some useful interview tips - cheers!
Omega - hope you get the job! From the sound of it you probably have, what with those cool, smart answers.
So that's why all the lad bothered to go to the library - to look at the arses and legs (and no doubt other parts) of the girls. And I just thought that you went to the library to look at books - mmm, some changes are in order for my next visit to the library!

By my inactivity in this thread, I'm sure you can tell I didn't get the job. Well, the nifty little thing is that out of those four positions they had filled, three of the workers left at the end of the summer. So I had another interview today. Same questions, same answers, though a little snappier this time. I also seem to have made a good impression on one librarian during my frequent visits to pick up books, 'cause she put in a good word for me. They actually gave me a tour of the back room, so it sounds like I did pretty well. They process the paperwork, and send it all downtown. Then a background check is done, and if they like me, I get a call from the branch some time late next week offering me the job. Then I call downtown and accept it. I go up and sign papers at some point. If all goes well, I may have a job in about three weeks. Oh, and they seem to have raised the salary to $7.47 an hour. Not bad money.

You got it, trust me. When they start giving you the fixings about the back room and stuff, your probability rate has risen to about 90%.

*wonders if the background check should include perusing a complete anthology of Omega's Flare posts*
Good luck, BTW.
