The 2 O'Clock Stretch...Not Always That Good For You (Plus, the Insanity of Interviewing in 2006)

Above is a photo of the today's 2 o' clock stretch (click for more details) - a daily opportunity for employees to get outside and have some exercise, and most importanly, get the hell away from their desks. We also have a 20 minute exercise class in the breakroom, but I always choose the walk outside because I can do it with my friends...and we can gossip.
Today, after spending the entire morning working the H&H table at the City Market Farmer's Market (which was fabu - more on that later) I had to get some work done. Unfortunately that work was an interview with Byron for his next educational journal. This left Emily to go-it alone for the walk. I couldn't believe my eyes though, as I gazed down from my office window and saw her approaching the building with some new "friends". She did not look happy. I'll bet she learned a lesson here - don't walk with asshats, because no exercise is better than exercise with fools.
Also, it should be noted that a friend emailed me today about an interesting aspect of a recent job interview. She was interviewing for an investment banking gig and as soon as she sits down with her interviewer, he pulls out copies of her MySpace and Facebook profiles. WTF? I didn't get many details from her, other than she was mortified. Why would someone do this? I can see being interested in whomever you hire...and if they're on crack cocaine..and even if they've been in a federal lockup or sell internet kiddie porn. But their MySpace profile? Gee Jennie, better get that Wiccan-S&M-Llama Lovers page down!
