Dear Dad, It is Feb. 19, 2011 and I still miss you so much. The last 14 months that we spent together at my home taking care of you and then having to move you to a care home was the best and hardest time of my life. I would not change it for all the money in the world, because I got to help you and take care of you and I did it with all the love in my heart.I will miss you now and always. I could not have asked for a more wonderful father in the world. I love you and miss you, Love Colette

Veronica, I am deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Although it has been a while since I have seen you or Vince (Bodega Bay as I recall), I do fondly recall the chance meeting. I also have very fond memories of your entire family on shopping days at Farmers Market in W. Sac., and that Mercury station wagon.

Dear Mrs. Amoruso, Cynthia and Colette,
My thoughts and prayers for support and love go to you all.
I have such great memories of him when I would come over and visit. I always thought how great it was how he would sit at the kitchen table with you Mrs. Amoruso and you guys would talk about your day and share a glass of wine together.
And Cynthia and Colette, he has got to be so proud of the two of you and the beautiful women and Mom's you turned out to be.
I will always remember him and his great laugh.
Love you Mr. Amoruso, you were one of the best Dad's around.

Should Florida legalize medical marijuana?
A drive to legalize marijuana for medical purposes is underway in Florida. Opponents say medical marijuana is a cover for potheads and a stepping stone to full legalization. Supporters say it's long overdue and that polls show Republicans and Democrats alike back the idea of allowing doctors to recommend marijuana for medicinal use.

Wow that first one looks like some serious time went into making that one. That is beautiful and would look great on a string hanging from my neck.
I love the hearts coming out of the chimney on the other one. So cool. I love that heart with plain white wings. Very pretty.

Inspirational product.
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.WilliamGr7 days agoHonestly, the most important thing to me about getting a blender was just the prospect that it might make eating healthier easy. Vitamix definitely did that for me. The effectiveness, reliability, and ease of clean-up that the Vitamix brings to the table inspires me to eat healthy more often because of how quickly and effortlessly I can get it done. Without it, I'd eat a lot less whole foods. This alone makes it well worth the higher price tag.
My favorite kitchen item
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Kim B2 weeks agoWe use our blender every single day. Sometimes more than once. Our machine is nearly seven years old and has not slowed down a bit. We are family of five, with most of us of adult size so we've put this thing through the ringer with smoothies, acai bowls, almond milk, cashew milk, and even some soups and salsas. I would never hesitate to buy another one should this guy ever conk out.

Blends Anything - In seconds
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.Simply Elaborate4 weeks agoI have had this for a month and I'm greatly impressed with it. It works so fast, that I'm often wondering if I have it on a setting too high. Seconds - SECONDS - to blend a smoothie. Sometimes, the blade will stop (because I think it's ben running too high) but if I remove the container and replace, it's back to normal. I think it's a safety feature.
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Pruneladybug1 year agoMy family eat plant based vegan meals. The Vitamix is amazing in preparing the food. It has cut my meal preparation time down by 50%. The sauces are smooth and creamy. I also have the dry container which is wonderful when grinding whole wheat and whole oats for our vegan whole wheat bread. If you are wanting to change to plant based meals an excellent beginners cookbook is 7 Secrets Cookbook by Neva and Jim Brackett. They recommend and use a Vitamix. I ordered my first vegan cookbook through ... Black Hills Health and Education Center. I highly recommend purchasing a Vitamix. There is no other blender that can be compared or is in the same league as a Vitamix.

Very Powerfull & easy & Quick to Clean
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Sazzlev1 month agoI've wanted one of these for a few years now and so pleased I finally bought it. I use it at least once sometimes twice a day. It's so powerful compared to my old one and SO easy to clean. Just love it . Very large hug too which is great.
Makes spectacular soup!!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.bellapixie2 weeks agoI really love the soup feature, it comes out perfect and very hot, so delicious!! I am a little disappointed about smoothies. It seems you have to follow the Vitamix recipes exactly or you end up with too thick and too much. I am use to a blender, so I am still in the learning process. I find that I don't use this machine as often as I thought I would.

So You Think You Can Dance continues with another week of competition as this end of the summer hit starts eliminations, hoping to once again top the ratings charts as it did last week. The show did manage to top the voting numbers past live voting shows had received – the premiere even doing better than American Idol's voting premiere.
This week's two-hour broadcast began with a 30 minute voting results show that was taped last week. During this part of the broadcast, we learned the results of America's voting – answering the question of which two of the six dancers would be sent home from the first official week of competition. The choices were between Sandra, Snow, Michelle, Jonnis, Allan and Artem. The results were drawn out, but when it was all said and done, we knew that Sandra and Jonnis would not be returning. Neither of them leaving was really a surprise, especially Jonnis after his behavior following his performance on last week's show.
Once the results show ended, we moved on to this week's competition. The fourteen pair off into seven couples in the same manner they did on last week's show. The only difference is that this week the girls pick their partners, and the men pick the style of dance. For scoring the highest number of votes by the American public, Allan is given the chance to choose the partner he doesn't want to dance with. His choice being Snow, his dance partner on last week's show.
This week, the dance styles are hip hop, lyrical jazz, salsa and the quick step. The quick step did give the couples the most trouble. Snow had no problem, but her partner, hip hopper Jamile, didn't do as well.
The competition definitely took it up a notch this week, and the judges were hard to please. Mary Murphy took over judging duties from Mia Michaels this week, but the other three judges remained the same – Dan Karaty, Nigel Lythgoe, and Brian Friedman.
Each of the performances has something to offer, and this made it difficult for the judges to pick the three couples for elimination. Blake shined like he did last week, and according to the judges, Destini, his partner again this week, also performed well. However, I'm wondering if Destini had been paired with another dancer the last two weeks that she would still be on the show. At the very least, she should have been selected for the bottom six one of the two weeks.
My favorite couple of the night once again is Ryan and Melissa. They worked on a Salsa routine with choreographer Alex Da Silva. They come out on top, ending the night of competition on a good note. How well Ryan is doing is surprising, as it is known he has no formal dance training. Other favorites of mine are Allan and Kamilah.
The bottom six this week set for elimination are: Craig, Jamile, Melody, Michelle, Nick, and Snow. Michelle and Snow were also up for elimination last week, but the rest of the six are new additions to the bottom six. As they were last week, the dancers are given a forty-five second freestyle performance in order to redeem themselves.
Out of the males, none of them really stood up for me, but if I had to choose one, my choice would be Nick. For me, the females really stepped it up here, and that made it more difficult for me to choose whom I would vote for. If given a choice, I'd have voted for both Melody and Michelle. Once again, Snow's performance didn't move me much, but the other two females definitely made me take notice.
I think the show has definitely made a turn around from earlier weeks. The first two episodes, I found myself bored senseless, but now I look forward to each and every episode. The competition is fierce, and following ABC's dance hit Dancing with the Stars I'm a bit familiar with the dance styles, and what the judges may be looking for. I'm waiting to see, along the rest of America, who will be sent home next.
In other So You Think You Can Dance news, People online has reported that show's host, Lauren Sanchez, wed boyfriend, Patrick Whitesell, over the weekend. Whitesell is an agent to such stars as Jessica Alba, Hugh Jackman, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. The ceremony took place August 20th in Santa Barbara, California. After a quick honeymoon, Lauren was back to host tonight's show. Best of luck to the new bride and her groom.
What did you think of this week's competition? Did you agree with the dancers that the judges chose for the bottom six? Who has your vote America? Let me know what you think.

American Gangster
Director: Ridley Scott
Director Ridley Scott spins this yarn concerning a Harlem drug kingpin (Denzel Washington) who smuggles heroin into the country by hiding it in the bodies of U.S. soldiers killed during battle in Vietnam. There was a time when no one noticed reserved driver Frank Lucas (Washington), but when the criminal kingpin he was charged with/a>

The difference between early Ridley Scott, like The Duellists and Alien and late-period Ridley Scott, like Black Rain and Hannibal, is the difference between "stylish" and "slick." In the former, the look of a film -- the photography, the art direction, the costuming -- is as much the subject of the film as whatever the story happens to be. In the latter, all the emphasis on surface things only underscores the fact that there is nothing going on at the heart of the films. American Gangster is a welcome return to the "stylish" Ridley Scott. Unlike Matchstick Men or Black Hawk Down, American Gangster feels like an impersonal work for the director, and in this case that is a very good thing. Scott allows his remarkably gifted collaborators -- cinematographer Harris Savides, editor Pietro Scalia, and screenwriter Steven Zaillian -- to do what they do best and simply uses his own skills to keep everything moving along in a solid, professional way. Though they are kept apart for the vast majority of the film's 160-minute running time, Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe carry their respective sections of the flick with movie-star ease. As larger-than-life criminal mastermind Frank Lucas, Washington gets to utilize his formidable charm while only once falling into the overacting that afflicts him on occasion when playing outright bad guys. As the ethically pure cop out to bring Frank down, Crowe offers his nearly patented brand of brooding physicality. There is nothing new about these characters, or in the film as a whole, but the solidly structured story draws parallels between the two men -- playing up the old "bad guy isn't so bad" and the "good guy isn't so good" themes that might seem incredibly tired in the hands of lesser actors and filmmakers. An end-of-film decision by Frank softens the film a great deal; this is, after all, Hollywood product, and it would be unacceptable to not like both the leads, but seeing as nothing that has come before indicates anyone was aiming for art, this twist can be forgiven. American Gangster is nothing more or less than product, sure to satisfy those who need a genre fix.Product Details

American Gangster is a gripping drama that captures the attention of the viewer very easily. It follows the life of Frank Lucas, a big time drug dealer in New York during the 1960's. It has a lot of action and violence that makes the movie more suspenseful. The acting in this movie is phenominal. It has an all-star cast headlined by Denzel Washington and Russel Crowe. The movie is pretty long, but you will not be dissapointed with one minute of the movie, American Gangster.
I thought it was a great film top to bottom. It was very riveting, as the character of Frank Lucas had real dynamism from Washington as the dope-trafficker phenomenon of Harlem that sank it into pitiful conditions. Russell Crowe had a comeback as well as the tough, subverting agent of corrupt police, judges, and drug pushers. While I may discredit the more glamorized versions of what they portray as the drug life, I thought the history of the New York drug culture was amazingly accurate and showed a spotlight on a period in America we rather ignore.
what a great movie. i dont know how many times i have watched it (more than 5 if u count cable tv). i never knew this person even existed til i looked more n2, american gangsster here is a good movie 2 watch.
it begins by telling of ellssworth "bumpy" johnson (clarence williams). hes an intellgent black gangster who runs alot of harlem. he teaches his right hand man frank lucas (denzel washngton)about life. as the movie continues bumpy dies from a heart attack & guess who now is the boss? from there it tells of frank lucas life as a leader begins & is good ntil the end. if i am not mistaken the real frank lucas is still alive 2day. russell crow ---- what a good comback. he plays richie roberts, a nrwaek, nj detective, whos takin law classes at night. he has personal problems of his own but doesnot let that stop him from capturin frank (& he does a good job). i cant 4get there is a great role played by the legendary Ruby Dee. when they chose her, they chose the right person 4 that part. |
This viewer rented the DVD form of AMERICAN GANGSTER, having passed it by in the theatrical run, thinking that it was yet another 'crime and corruption in New York' genre film. It was surprising to discover that this very long film (just under three hours in the Unrated version) is completely riveting and in a way far different than the usual gangster film: this story, based on real people as outlined in an article by Mark Jacobson (transformed for the screen by Steven Zaillian), and while it has its share of grisly killings, it seems more concerned with the issues of integrity in the face of police corruption as embodied in the character of Richie Roberts, the etiology of the heroin use escalation following the Vietnam War, and the presence of a 'Black Mafia' lead by one Frank Lucas. It is delivered with compelling gusto and intelligence by director Ridley Scott and has some of the best acting of the year. In other words, this is not a film to be lightly dismissed as a Hollywood retread, but instead it is a tense drama with many very fine points. Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington) follows the footsteps of his idol Bumpy (Clarence Williams III) who 'ran' the Harlem streets, and when Bumpy dies, Lucas inherits his mantle. Lucas is wise, cunning, a gentleman, a powerhouse of ideas, and quickly finds a way to bring the best uncut heroin from the Far East to the streets of New York at a price that undercuts the other mobsters' product. To establish his control he enlists his family, including his brother Huey (Chiwetel Ejiofor), and rapidly becomes the kingpin of the streets. Simultaneously within the NYPD we meet Detective Richie Roberts (Russell Crowe) whose personal life is a mess but who, with his partner Lou (Ted Levine) discovers corruption in the NYPD and more particularly the Drug Enforcement sector of the police: Detective Trupo (Josh Brolin) works with the existing drug lords, grabs their drugs and money and then recycles both to his benefit. During a particular drug bust, Richie and Lou discover a stash of nearly a million dollars and turn the money into the police - a deed that makes the duo seem foolish and lose the respect of their fellow cops but establishes Roberts as a man who is committed to being a good detective. From these two separate studies the film weaves the development of each character and the interaction between Roberts and Lucas we know will take place. The end result may be known to those who followed the story as it developed in the 1970s, but for those for whom this true story is new information, the resolution of the film is fast-paced, thrilling, illuminating, and just plain fine cinema. Both Washington and Crowe are in peak form, as are those in the many small roles (Ruby Dee, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Josh Brolin, Lymari Nadal, Carla Gugino, Cuba Gooding etc). This is more of a drama than an action film and while many may feel the final moments of the movie are weak, they do reveal the true ending of the story and say a lot about the narrow line between crime and criminal investigation. This is one of Ridley Scott's most successful films and one that will be around for many years as a model for the medium. Grady Harp
This was so diffent role for Denzel....but a very good movie

text: > Home > Publications > Entry - Modigliani ModiglianiPlease note that since January first 2015, the Wildenstein Institute, Paris, has ceased its involvement in the critical catalogue of Amedeo Modigliani's paintings. Amedeo MODIGLIANI (1884-1920), Italian painter and draftsman, trained in Florence and then in Venice, before arriving in Paris in 1906. A sculptor by vocation, he was pushed by Paul Guillaume, his art dealer, to abandon this activity, too dangerous for his fragile health, and to devote himself to painting, easier to make and to sell. From Montmartre to Montparnasse and to the South of France, he rubbed shoulders with the bohemian world of his day, artist's residents of the Ruche, in Montparnasse, and artists of the School of Paris along with all actors of Parisian life. He died prematurely from tuberculosis. His work focuses on the human form and more precisely on the female figure (portraits, nudes, caryatids). The critical catalogue, established by Marc Restellini, will provide a new reading of Modigliani's specificity in his time and of his research on sketches (épure) and primitivism, very dear to our contemporary sensibility. |

The 26th of February. That what today is. February 26, 2016.
My, my, how time does fly.
Speaking of flying time, I see that the last time words were posted to this space was in November. That was like, yesterday, right?
Nope. 26th. Of February. Of 2016. Whew.
Well, okay, gotta try to shake that off and keep rolling. I've been thinking a lot lately about this little ol' blog. It used to be that I'd knock out a post every weekday. Then three times a week. And then nothing since November.
Been wondering what got in my way.
Three things, really. First, I got a little worn out. I'd pushed The Muse and it was getting harder to think of interesting ideas to write about. Eventually The Muse asked me to give it a rest.
Another contributor was starting a different job. I used have a free lunch hour where I both ate and knocked out the words for this blog. In my new job, I am in so galldarn many meetings each day that my lunch break is now me eating while my staff streams in the door to grab a few moments of my time.
Finally, I started wondering a little bit about the fate of so-called long form blogs in an ever-shortening attention span world. I read an article a few years ago declaring blogs dead in favor of tweets and Tumblr. I kind of took it to heart.
So I let my word field lay fallow. And maybe that is okay. It needed some rain and some decay and some time to become fertile again.
One of the most compelling reasons that I started this blog was to be a place for writing practice.
Practice, practice, practice. When I kicked off these pages back in 2007 I felt like I had something to say and needed a venue, so I made my own.
Over many years I wrote something every weekday and watched my writing both inside and outside the blog become stronger, sleeker, and more concise.
While I still benefit from all of that work, the last few times I've been working on a short story, I'm noticing the flow just isn't there. It's always an uphill climb but without the many days a week practice to keep me limber, the hill got a little steeper (and a lot more pedantic).
There is a widely debated theory that it takes ten thousand hours of practice to become a master at something. I am not sure that is true because any artist I know would say you never master your medium, no matter how much or how hard you practice.
But what I do know is that as of the moment I am putting these words into print, there are over six hundred thousand words that I created and added to this blog. That hasn't taken me ten thousand hours to create, but it's still not nothing. It's something that matters and something I am proud of.
Last weekend while I was sprucing up the blog and giving it a Spring cleaning (I'm kind of in love with this shade of blue) in preparation for my return to the words, I looked hard at that number in the footer of this page and thought to myself "I'm not done."
And so I'm not.
One added benefit is that I get to grab those crazy thoughts from my mind and get them down. There's good stuff in there. No more trying to blog it out loud to my kindly understanding spouse or my long-suffering coworkers.
So here I am, back for today and hopefully back again soon. I want to push out my elbows and make the space in my world for the words, the practice, and the ever wonderfully agonizing quest to get better at what I love to do most.

Crib Notes – Oddball Interview Questions Answered!

You wanna cheat a little? I'll help you. C'mon, over here.
You didn't get this from me but…
Yesterday in the SFGate I read an article that gave examples of "oddball" interview questions asked by Silicon Valley companies.
As I read through them, I found them quirky (like most Silicon Valley companies) but not really that all that odd.
Given that I've got twenty years of being a manger under my belt and for most of the twenty years I have been recruiting in one form or another, I actually was pretty on board with many of these questions.
For the past two years at my current employer I have consistently either been interviewing for myself or sitting on interview panels. I've thought a lot about the all truly terrible candidates I've seen and how I wanted to take each of them aside for some coaching.
So many good people just can't find their way around a curveball interview question and that can really hinder their chances at getting hired.
When I started reading these so called "oddball" questions in the article, I thought about how I would answer them (or I would want a candidate to answer).
From there I decided to make a cheat sheet. Think of this as my free interview coaching and mentoring for the people out there hustling and trying to get a job. We all deserve to earn a paycheck and sometimes that barrier seems unreasonably high.
I have shown the question exactly as stated in the article and in parenthesis is the job role that this question applied to.
Here we go:
1) Describe the color yellow to somebody who is blind? (flight attendant)
First off, as a longtime interviewer, I think this is a genuinely lame question. You are just trying to throw the candidate off their game. Perhaps that is the goal.
However, since this applies to a flight attendant, I believe the interviewer is trying to see how you can apply complex concepts (such as, oh I don't know, FAA regulations) to someone with no frame of reference for those concepts (such as any clueless airline passenger).
Here's how I would answer it:
Since a blind person does not have visual cues to reference I would want to reference their other senses. When I think of yellow in other sensory terms, I might, for example, ask the person how it feels when they are outdoors and feel the sun on their face, because that is how yellow feels to me. Or ask them to think of how a freshly cut lemon smells because that also invokes the color yellow for me.
2) What is your favorite 90's jam? (customer care)
As this is a customer care role, they are looking to see how relatable you are. Instead of trying to impress the interview panel with your knowledge of obscure indie rock, I suggest going a bit mainstream with an edge to show you have some verve but you can also relate to the common person.
Here's how I would answer it:
There are so many groundbreaking artists from the 90's but I have to go back to the band that for me really defines the 90's music, and that is Nirvana. Kurt Cobain's complex musical genius stands up today. I can't help but crank up "Smells Like Teen Spirit" every time I hear it, even if it's just playing in Muzak form on the elevator.
3) If you were asked to unload a 747 full of jellybeans, what would you do? (IT support manager)
The interviewer is trying to get at the candidate's thought process for solving big problems. I suggest giving them a pretty detailed answer to show how you assess the root cause of the issue and put a plan in place to resolve the problem.
This is one area where A LOT of candidates fail, in my opinion. Almost all interviewers ask some form of this question, i.e. show me how you solve a problem. Most candidates are unable to show me how they get from point A to point B to final completion. It drives me batty.
Here's how I would answer:
First I would need to assess in what form the jellybeans were loaded onto the 747. Are they neatly wrapped in boxes? Then I would assess how many and what size boxes and then form the appropriate team to efficiently load the boxes onto pallets and schedule forklifts to quickly remove them from the plane then work with logistics to get them delivered to their proper location or locations.
If the jellybeans are loose on the plane, that is a much bigger problem. First I'd have to assess if they are piled up to the doors and how I can crack open that door without losing a lot of the cargo. I'd consult with experts in the jellybean packaging field to understand how to load out the jellybeans into boxes or other appropriate packaging and then obtain that packaging and other equipment that might be needed. I would then form the work team to first package the jelly beans then find the right crew to offload the packaging onto pallets and then forklifts to allow logistics to them move them their final destination.
4) What did you have for breakfast? (retail clothing sales associate)
This question is just intended to get a candidate out of the rote answer and response mode. Fine. Kind of a lame way to get there if you ask me, but okay.
How I would answer:
This morning I had a homemade breakfast burrito that included eggs, non-dairy cheese since I am lactose intolerant, green chile and some pinto beans. I like a nice mix of protein and carbs to start my day. And I washed all of that down with a nice soy latte. Gives me a good base for the day's energy requirements without pesky drops in blood sugar.
5) What would you do if you were the one survivor in a plane crash? (Trust and Safety investigator)
Okay, given the job role being considered as a safety investigator, I don't really consider this one an "oddball" question at all. This is right in their wheelhouse and I think anyone with these skills applying for this job would have a solid answer.
Here's how I would answer it but I may be off base given the job function where I have no experience in this function:
Immediately following the incident I would quickly determine that I truly was the only survivor and would make sure I gave aid to any other passengers who may still be alive. If I am genuinely the only person alive, then I would stop and assess the situation. First I would look to see if the communication system of the plane still works. Am I able to contact someone for assistance? Then I'd also look for flares or other ways to flag down help.
From there I would study the surroundings. Where am I? What are the prevailing conditions, i.e. am I in the water? Am I in the snow? Is it very hot or cold? I would begin by constructing some form of shelter against the elements. Then I would search the plane's remnants for food and water and collect those together in a single location. I would also begin looking for a source of heat. Then I would need to consider the potential dangers and find ways to prepare. For example, am I in the woods and is there potential for bears or wolves to attack? Then I must take proper precautions with my food and water and maybe a means of defense if needed.
(this response could really go on and on in my opinion, but you get the idea where I'm going)
6) If you woke up and had 2,000 emails and could only answer 300 of them, how would you choose which ones to answer? (Rotation program candidate)
This is just another form of "here's a problem, show me how you would resolve it"
Here's how I would answer:
I'd take a first run through the email to see if any of the subject lines list "RUSH" or "URGENT" and attend to those first looking to be sure there was not a long chain of conversation on the issue and if it was already solved.
Then I would sort the email to look for groups of long chains of email conversations and then review them based on subject line to determine which take priority then only open the very last item in the conversation chain, as that will contain all of the prior information. If that last email resolves the problem then I'd move on to the next chain of email.
7) What's your favorite Disney princess? (fast food crew member)
I personally balked hard at this question, I think it's not really a suitable question, but again, designed to throw the candidate off their game to see how they think on their feet.
Here's how I would answer:
While every Disney princess has their merits and detractions, I think I would say my favorite is Ariel from the Little Mermaid. Why? Because for better or worse, she had a clearly defined goal and a clearly defined methodology for obtaining that goal. While I may or may not completely agree with how she went about it, I respect that she got results, i.e. marrying the Prince.
8) Who would win a fight between Spiderman and Batman? (medical simulationist)
This is another of those not really oddball questions given the job role. In this scenario they are genuinely looking for the candidate to create a simulation and then run it through.
I have to admit, this one is going to be a bit hard for me as I'm not that well versed in the superheroes, but here's my shot at it.
Here's how I would answer:
What we're looking at here are people with different sets of skills and tools at their disposal. Spiderman's talents are a bit more organic, he's strong, he moves well and he's got that webbing that he can use very well to his advantage.
Batman comes fully loaded with a lot of sophisticated gadgets that he can employ at his disposal.
So who would win the fight? Well, that's tough to say, but given the backstory and maturity of the superheroes, I tend to lean toward Batman. He's older and more experienced and very savvy about the world. Spiderman is a bit younger and more impetuous. He has moments of brilliance but also has made some big mistakes.
Also, Batman has very little to lose while Spiderman has more family and a girlfriend to fight for. Given the battles, usually the one that has nothing to lose will fight the hardest.
9) How many people flew out of Chicago last year? (software engineer)
Ugh. What a question. What the interviewer is looking for is not that you can quote the number off of the top of your head but how you will go about getting to the number. Again, solve a problem and show me how you'll do it.
Here's how I would answer:
Well, since I don't retain this sort of data off the top of my head I cannot give you an exact answer, but let me tell you how I would go about gathering that information. It could be as simple as a Google search of the question, but I'd want to be sure that in addition to O'Hare and Midway that I am accounting for all small regional airports and airlines.
If a simple Google search could not net me the answer then I'd expand my search. I am sure that there are many statistical bureaus (often used by marketing agencies) that have this kind of information readily available either for free or at low cost.
If that doesn't work I would then try contacting FAA personnel to find the answer. I suspect that the FAA would be curious as to why I'm asking the question, so I'd want to be able to define the use of this data and make any assurance that I'd keep data confidential if needed.
As a last resort, I would compile a list of every airport in Chicago and then call each airport directly to request the information.
10) If you had a machine that produced $100 a day for life, what would you be willing to pay for it today? (research analyst)
Another question that doesn't seem so oddball when you look at what job role is being recruited. This one is pretty hard to answer off the top of my head. And another example of here's a problem, show me how you'd solve it.
Here's how I would answer:
This machine would provide me an extra $36,500 a year. I would then want to consult actuarial tables to understand my personal life expectancy and then run a value analysis of that $36,000 over the remaining years of my life to understand the total present value in today's dollars.
Then because I am a negotiator I would set a range of 15% to 30% off of that number because I think that while the machine has value, there is also upkeep and maintenance to consider and also I just like to get a deal. I'd also investigate why the person selling the machine would get want to get rid of it and bake that into my negotiation plan.
(Probably not the right answer for the job role but that's how I'd play it. If they wanted me to actually quote a number I'd ask for a few moments and some scratch paper to work it out.)
11) If you were a Muppet, which would you be? (Executive support)
This is kind of a cute and fun question. I like it and wonder if I can add it to our list of questions for candidates. This gives a moment of lightness and shows how the candidate thinks on their feet.
Here's how I would answer:
This is a tough question because each Muppet has their advantages. I like Fozzie Bear because he's funny and very kind and incredibly supportive of Kermit through trials and tribulations. I like Gonzo because he's a risk taker and doesn't get discouraged when he fails. But ultimately I'd like to be Kermit, he's talented, smart, kind and he knows how to keep that show running show even when chickens are flying out of cannons and monsters are eating the guest host.
12) Why is the earth round? (software engineer)
This must be an engineering question because this one stopped me in my tracks. That will really throw a candidate off their game.
Here's how I'd answer.
The earth isn't actually round, it's more of an elliptical shape.
If they follow up with why is the earth an elliptical shape I'd take what tiny bit of knowledge I have and say it's because of gravity. For example, when I put a magnet in a pile of iron shavings it will pull them into a circular shape. The oval shape is easiest to form for nature to build and highly aerodynamic as earth hurtles through space.
(starting to drift into making things up at this point! Time to wrap up this answer.)
13) How many gas stations are there in America? (Senior financial analyst)
This one again seems to fit the job role they are recruiting for. They don't expect you to know the number but to explain how you'd get there.
My answer is going to be very similar to the number of people flying out of Chicago question.
Here's how I would answer:
Well, since I don't retain this sort of data off the top of my head I cannot give you an exact answer, but let me tell you how I would go about gathering that information. It could be as simple as a Google search of the question, but I would want to be sure that I understand that all gas stations are included in the data set. Do we include Hawaii and Alaska or just continental America? Do we include the US territories?
If a simple Google search could not net me the answer then I'd expand my search. I am sure that there are many statistical bureaus (often used by marketing agencies) that have this kind of information readily available either for free or at low cost.
If that doesn't work I would then determine if there is a government oversight agencies for all gas stations that may have this information available.
I would also want to ask the person requesting this information if they need a precise answer or a ballpark. That makes a significant difference in the level of effort to get this data.
14) You have a 1 mile long x 1 mile wide private island you wish to turn into a resort. A plane requires a 2 mile long runway to take off. What do you do? (QA analyst for a gaming company)
Another question that seems oddball until you see the job function. A good QA person should know how to look at a problem and look at a lot of possible solutions. I am not a QA person but I can take a good run at this question.
Here's how I would answer:
Simple, I'd see about getting a seaplane to transport guests to and from the island. No terrestrial runway is necessary.
If the seaplane is not feasible, then I'd consult with the proper experts in building sturdy runways over water (many exist, the San Francisco airport is but one example). I'd need engineers to assess the ground under the water to see if it can support the pylons. And I'd need to understand the cost to build such a runway and run through my business plan to see if the expected income from the resort could cover the enormous debt outlay to build the runway. I'd also check with the airlines to see if they would help subsidize some of the costs to build the runway.
15) Given 25 swimmers and a pool with five lanes, what is the minimum number of heats needed to determine the three fastest swimmers in the group? (data scientist candidate)
I'd suspect a data scientist would rattle the answer off the top of their head. I'm just a lowly MBA so I would ask if they want the exact answer or understand my thought process on how I'd get to the answer. Assuming they want a number I'd ask for a few moments and some scratch paper to figure it out.
Here's my answer and I'm pretty sure it's wrong:
5. I'd run each heat with a swimmer in every lane, which would take five heats to get all 25 through. I'd time the heats and then I'd know who was fastest. If I'm not timing the heats then I'd need a sixth heat for all of the first finishers from the beginning five heats.
16) How much do you charge to wash every window in Seattle? (sales operations candidate)
Okay, this is a really long list of questions and I'm getting tired and a little cheeky at this point. I'd probably snap off something like "enough to cover costs and make a reasonable profit" but what I do know is that, like many of these questions, they are looking at how the candidates will show how they get the information.
Here's how I would answer:
First I would need to do some data mining. How many windows are there, how much is my cost per window, how many windows can be washed in a day, how many crew members do I need per buildings and how fast does the window washing need to be completed? Then I would run some data modeling to understand my costs and establish my projected profit margin on top of costs.
Then knowing that any customer wants to negotiate, I would work to understand where my gives and takes are. Can I cut costs back in some area (i.e. smaller crews that would take longer to complete)? I would pad my profit margin going in with the original quote knowing I will give some of that up.
I'd also look to see if any or all of the work can be subcontracted out if window washing is not my firm's core competency.
Okay, I can't believe I was actually inspired to answer all sixteen of these questions, but I was. Mild OCD can be a beautiful thing sometimes.
But to be honest, if this even helps one person get their thinking straight so they can go in and knock out an interview, than I have done a good thing.
I actually had fun with these questions. I suppose I like a good (quirky) challenge.
I'm curious if anyone out there has better ideas for some of these questions. I'd love to hear your take!

Coming Around To My Way of Thinking

It's been said before that I'm a little "different" from your average employee. The streetcar of my brain runs a little off the beaten path. I use words and phrases in unusual ways. Occasionally only words in Spanish can convey my sense of the sentiment and my coworkers don't always understand that.
With each job I've had in my life and each place I work, there always seems to be a breaking in period. A timeframe whereby things evolve from "what did she just say?" to "oh, that's just Karen."
I think today was turning point at my current place of employment. I just celebrated two years here and they are finally coming around to my unique way of looking at the world.
This group was a little more resistant than my last few employers, but I finally succeeded in breaking them down.
Here's how I know. Below is a real and genuine account of events that happened just moments ago:
Scene: The office breakroom. Several of my rock star employees and I are gathered around the new vending machine. The selections are different from what the old machine offered and we are discussing the merits of each.
At the moment where we tune into the scene, my employees and I are quite racously discussing the positives and negatives of sour gummy worms. And we are laughing…a lot (we tend to do that on my team).
A one level up management-type person (not my direct boss, but a bossish kind of person) and a rather serious sort walks into the room. My employees all go still and their eyes drop.
She says, "What are you all doing in here?"
Without missing a heartbeat I match her serious tone and reply, "We're negotiating with the vending machine."
She pauses. Says, "Oh." Then she spins around and walks out. I'm pretty sure she had a reason to come into the breakroom but I derailed her mental train. It was awesome.
Oh yeah, I'm going to be running this place soon. That kind of think of your feet, can-do attitude going to take me far.
Also, it's important to know that the sour gummy worms were delicious.

Welcome to the sixth day of the year 2015 but only my second day back at the ol' place of work.
While technically the first of January is the first day of the New Year, it doesn't really feel like the New Year has begun until I go back to work, i.e. get back into the "real world."
My employer is ever so kind in that they shut down operations from December 24 through January 1. That means with a little planning and a little curation of vacation hours, I can eek out full two glorious weeks away from the office.
I look forward to this two-week break from work all year long.
All. Year. Long.
In my career, I've rarely taken two weeks of regular vacation time, so these two weeks at the end of the year feel beautifully indulgent.
My first priority for the break time is to sleep. Nap. Sleep more. Rest and then do nothing too taxing on brain and body. That usually lasts about three days then I'm rested and raring to go.
The rest of the break time is spent with family, exploring the world with The Good Man, cleaning up my home office/studio and working on creative projects.
I find I'm able to fully and completely forget about work and live the dream of a creative life. Sleep until my body is rested, rise and work on creative projects, fill my head with creative inspiration and plan forward for the projects I want to work on in the coming year.
It's a beautiful place to be, a place I'd live all year round if those darn lottery numbers would just break my way. It feels solid and satisfying and clean and pure.
And then sixteen days of being my own boss pass too quickly and Monday, January 5 arrives. I have to figure out how to get back into the flow of "regular" life. I have to metaphorically merge into speeding traffic with no running room and only two of four cylinders in working order.
Yesterday was that day. Yesterday I woke up with the help of an alarm clock (bleah, sixteen days of no chirping alarm was REALLY nice) and sat up in my comfy bed, bleary eyed and lost.
I tried hard to find the muscle memory to rise, to make some breakfast, to put on some clothes, where is my work badge?, move out the door and get to work on time.
When I arrived at the office it was all too familiar and all too unfamiliar.
It felt like I had changed. I was a different (and better) person as I swiped my badge and entered the office. Then I realized that work had not changed.
I came to my own little gray cubicle and there was all of my same stuff I'd left behind, but it looked alien.
The laptop machine asked me for a password and I had to think very hard about it. Took a couple tries at it and finally remembered.
Have you ever seen baby ducks when they are following their Mama Duck into the water? It often looks like this: Mama slides effortlessly into the water and her eight to ten ducklings slip, slide, belly flop, and unceremoniously plop themselves with a splash behind her.
For a moment, the water crests over the top of their head, then the ducklings one by one pop to the surface like popcorn and start swimming.
It was very much like that yesterday. I fell uncoordinated and perilously off the vacation ledge into the bracingly cold pool of work. I grasped for stability for a little while and then I found my feet and began to paddle. By the afternoon I was moving more or less in a forward manner.
So that's the New Year. A little bit new, a lotta bit old. I suppose all of the inspirational quotes are true. It's up to me to make 2015 a really awesome year.
Forward into battle! *splash*cough*splutter* Okay. Now, here we go.
"Hoooooly craaaaap"

My New Nickname
Filed under: angry, anxiety, audit, awkward, Boss Lady, business is business, charming, cranky, cursing, disapproving boss, doooooom!, drama, first world problems, gratitude, growing up, I ain't as good as I once was, indignant, irritated, kerfuffle, learning, life, love and marriage, make it work, mean people, meeting hell, Opinions, overwhelmed, people are people, play through, polite, politics, pondering, powerful woman, relax, sigh, silly, stubborn, The Good Man, truth is stranger than..., work, worried, yes boss, yucky
This morning I geared up my mind and girded my loins for an important meeting. The event was a compliance review on a big project that I am working through. This project is the cause of many long hours, at least three migraine headaches and a lack of sleep. This compliance review is the last bit of internal check boxes required before we can implement this project fully and completely.
That I was even sitting in the room having the meeting is a gigantic achievement for this challenging project.
That said, I don't necessarily have the cleanest track record in these compliance review meetings. About a month ago in a similar meeting for a different project, I lost my cool and let the chairperson have a bushel full of how I really feel.
After which I was "spoken to" by my manager who mostly empathized with me. I stand by what I said, and told my manager as much. I was simply asked to "try a little harder" next time.
Because there is always a next time.
Today I had to go back in there and keep the end in mind. I knew if I was able to get through the compliance meeting, and get approvals, that I would be able to finish this project that has me burning out quickly, turning into a crispy little Karen.
The order of the day was calm. Serene. Peace.
Now, I realize that not all of my fair and wonderful readers know me in person. If you do know me in person, you could know that calm, serene and peaceful are not adjectives often used to describe yours truly.
But I had to "try a little harder." So I did deep breathing and a few deep knee bends before the event. I got to the meeting room early and got situated. I planted my feet on the ground and made a promise to myself that I would stay calm.
As the meeting progressed there were times where I wanted to say what was really on my mind, but somehow I magically refrained.
"Okay. What would you like to see in the documentation?" I said calmly and not at all snarkily. I felt the inner snark but I kept it tucked away under a beatific smile.
When all was done and I had the full list of changes and corrections, I walked out of the conference room and back to my desk.
Where I texted The Good Man the following:
"You oughta f—–g nickname me Buddha after that last hour of my life…."
You see, he knows me all too well and he knows I had this important meeting today. Then I followed it up with:
"I ohm'ed the sh*t out of that meeting."
And then I took to Google where a short image search netted me the perfect image, which I also sent to The Good Man to further emphasize my point.
And that about sums it up.
Just call me Buddha, bitches.
