Sometimes when interviewing people for a specific job, the questions are tailored to the skills needed; however, their meaning should be too.

I was interviewing applicants for a Motor Grader Operator. I had all my questions written in advance. I asked the first fellow, "Tell me, what have you done ?"

He paused a bit, then replied, "About what ?"

Fads come and fads go. I'm not sure any of you remember when green eye shadow was in vogue. A group of engineers were touring our new facility at the Office of Maintenance, and one young lad from Egypt said, "I think you should check the humidity controls in your new building."

When I asked why, he replied, "Well, I think it should be set a lot lower. Most of your girls are starting to mildew."

Like any good secretary, Pam was concerned with the temp keeping up her work while she went on two weeks vacation.

After spending the morning explaining things to her substitute, she said, "I hope you'll continue working on everything I was. Well... except for Dave of course, I was finally making some progress there."

I know this is the age of specialization, but sometimes, I think people tend to get a little carried away. The Deputy Chief Engineer for Maintenance was showing a new employee around the office.

When he came to the cubicle of one really stunning young lady, he said, "And this is Sandi -- Sandi sorts out the men from the boys."

I asked a new temp once how she liked working for the manager of the Facilities Division. She replied, "Well, he's OK I guess. But he sure is bigoted."

Somewhat taken aback, I said, "Rose that's a very serious allegation. Exactly what do you mean by 'bigoted' ?"

She said, "Well, for one thing, he thinks words can only be spelled one way."
