*at a closers meeting*

District Manager: Now, what's the most important part of our uniform?

Me: I think.. pants.. are pretty important...

District Manager: Well, I was going for smiles, but you're probably right.
I'm old now

I found a wiki of some "critical thinking" problems in preparation for the job interviews that I hope to one day have. Some are absolutely retarded but a few really had me thinking about a good way to solve the problem, particularly the "Prisoners" scenario.

I figured some of you might find this interesting if you're bored at your luxury desk job that I hope to one day have.

Yes I would like to work for the gov'ment. But you see, they're pretty much the pinnacle of bureaucracy when it comes to their HR. You have to be absolutely spotless when it comes to filling their qualifications. If they want someone with three years of experience and you only have two and a half, your chances of getting the job are pretty much zero regardless of your other qualifications.

But yes I get it the government bought out GM ROFLMAOZEDONG CHAD YOU OWE ME A NEW KEYBOARD SIR.
