A Cheetah walks through the jungle. Sudd...PL US...<br /><br />A Cheetah walks through the jungle. Suddenly, he hears someone calling for help, follows the sound of the dramatic voice, and soon finds an Elephant at the bottom of a huge hole in the ground. <br />'Please help me get out!' begs the Elephant. <br />The Cheetah reaches out his paw, the Elephant grasps it and they struggle for a while... <br />'No, I can't', the Cheetah gives up finally. 'You're too heavy. Let me get my friend, Jaguar. The two of us should be strong enough to save you.' <br />After half an hour, he comes back with his friend and they soon manage to pull the poor Elephant out together. <br />About a week later, the Cheetah falls into the same rift! The Elephant, who happens to be nearby, hastens to the rescue. When he gets there, he turns round and slowly walks backwards to stand astride over the narrower end of the hole in the ground. <br />'C'mon! Grasp my member!' shouts the Elephant. The Cheetah hesitates for a moment but then follows the rescuer's instruction and gets saved... <br /><br />Moral: If you have a big member, you don't need a Jaguar. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-66484634574557358132015-02-06T03:56:08.593-11:002015-02-06T03:56:08.593-11:00Jane, over the years I've interviewed quite a ...Jane, over the years I've interviewed quite a few job applicants, and would never have asked questions like those. I always wanted to ask questions that took way more than one or two words to answer, and would give me some insight into the person's character, experience, attitude and so forth.<br /><br />I liked to get the folks talking, and not just about themselves.<br /><br />Ahh well. Since I stepped down from being a manager, I don't have to do those sorts of interviews any more.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-74684555249022863702015-02-06T02:30:55.758-11:002015-02-06T02:30:55.758-11:00Hmmm, it is now clearer than ever that I will neve...Hmmm, it is now clearer than ever that I will never again hold a real job!! Now, to the questions. . .<br /><br />1) fruit or veg. . . cauliflower, white and wrinkly, that's me<br /><br />2) Tom Baker will always be the true doctor in my mind<br /><br />3) ignore it, as I ignore all uncomfortable public display of affection<br /><br />4) don't eat cake or biscuit so it does not matter<br /><br />5) my goal has always been to know a lot about a lot ;) <br /><br />6) showers, not baths, and no singing<br /><br />7) no night out, certainly not with three people!!<br /><br />8) die, like everything on the planet<br /><br />Dino - I am not knowledgeable about Dinos, something small and blood thirsty<br /><br />Hippo -winch<br /><br />Ice cream - green tea, not too sweet!<br /><br />Batman, angsty and conflicted is my thing after all!!Sessha Battohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569927397738788073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-46435538454490221012015-02-06T02:15:38.839-11:002015-02-06T02:15:38.839-11:00At hubby's company, it's called HR (Human ...At hubby's company, it's called HR (Human Resources). It's sounds ominously like something in Soylent Green.<br /><br />Q: If you were a fruit or vegetable, what would you be and why? <br />A: Stealing your tomato answer, because it's brilliant. <br /><br />Q: Who is your favourite Doctor Who? <br />A: That's like asking which child is my favorite. No fairsies.<br /><br />Q: What would you do if you caught a member of staff kissing the boss?<br />A: Walk away. I'm not the morality police. I mean, are they both single? Are they in open relationships? Was it sexual harassment or consensual? Too complex for my pay grade. They would, however, end up in some way being featured in one of my stories (anonymously, of course).<br /><br />Q: Is a Jaffa Cake a cake or a biscuit?<br />A: Never heard of it, but it sounds like the question, "Who's buried in Grant's tomb?"<br /><br />Q: Would you rather know a lot about a little or a little about a lot?<br />A: Yes.<br /><br />Q: Do you like to sing in the bath? <br />A: Hate baths - much prefer showers. And, yes.<br /><br />Q: Which three celebrities would you like to join you for a night out?<br />A: One might be kind of cool - three would be a nightmare. And we're right back to the Doctor Who kind of question.<br /><br />Q: What would you do if the sun died out?<br />A: Do you have a basic understanding of how the Universe works?<br /><br /> <br /><br />Dino - I actually was pretty obsessed with dinosaurs as a kid. I knew all kinds of facts about them. That knowledge is now buried somewhere under 80's song lyrics. But I'd be some kind of flying dino.<br /><br />Agree with Superman, though he'd be the one I'd kiss as well.<br /><br />Hippo - Again, agreed. I'd call in the experts. <br /><br />Ice cream - Not going to try to fit my personality into some clever ice cream flavor. However, my favorite is mocha chocolate chip - analyze that to your heart's content.<br /><br />Fun stuff, Jane! :)internetg33khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12672869878789920528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-47739873690247858512015-02-06T01:22:56.886-11:002015-02-06T01:22:56.886-11:00Talent management?

HR or whatever the heck it's called these days - oh yes, Talent Management, drives me nuts, - possibly because I used to work in that field and sat in on the stupid meetings. Directives to adopt things like "What vegetable are you?" usually come from someone at the top of the company who read about it, and then just issued a company-wide edict. The HR people themselves are probably cringing. <br />*steps off soapbox*Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.com
