Epic Interview Fail moments !

You know when you cant kill that mind voice during those get-me-outta-here interview situations, and you just don't know how long you'll have to endure it until there is a graceful end ! I knew i'd look back on these moments and hopefully feel like i've come a long way since then!

So here's some :

* To solve some of those dumbtard margin-profit problems, the interviewers give you a ton of information that you somehow pretend to make sense of, while thinking, "Dude! If i was able to get that much math, I'd be an investment banker like the wolf of wall street, looking down at someone like you condescendingly at a swanky movie-like business conference !"
* Its even more annoying when you somehow piece together a vague-somewhat-there solution to a problem they give and they say "Are you sure that's the best way to do it ?" You feel like getting back with "Hey, you googled both the question and the answer for the interview, so you obviously know the best way there is to it !"
* Oh, and when they say, "Would you like to mentor others and see yourself heading a division in a couple of years?" Like they expect someone to say, "No, i'd like to stay in my current position for the rest of my life !"
*When they do ask, "What's the best thing about working as a team ?,  I am very tempted to say "Dealing with other morons!" but i pull myself together and say "Diverse points of view !"

Keeping it civil is the name of the game you see!

Are women killing feminism ?

 Today being the 131st birthday of Alice Paul, noted American Feminist who campaigned against gender discrimination to vote (enlightened once again by the google doodle, how else would we ever know? seriously!), and today also being the day i saw several "Baby shower" posts on my Facebook newsfeed, i am in deep thought if the term means more than just social conversation over a glass of wine !
By no means do i want reserved spots in the education system or on the job scene for women, nor am i about to suggest that women should lead lives independent of men, be financially self reliant, show society that they can both have and raise kids by themselves. All i ask is, are we putting ourselves out there enough to make our contribution to express our innate talent ? Not every expression needs to be raking up the currency notes, but there could be artists, poets, designers, environmentalists, all trapped in the second-child's baby shower, withering away in daily petty arguments with neighbors and relatives. It could be a rewarding experience to raise children, i wouldn't know, but is that all there is to our abilities ? Would we suffer an identity crisis in our 40s when all that we know/opine/express ourselves about is which extra-curricular activity our kids should be learning ? Don't we want a confident spot next to our men in debates on rising intolerance or if gun control should be implemented ? And when not heeded for our viewpoints, would be then crawl our way back to the feminism debate and claim we are disregarded owing to our gender? I think the answer lies in taking time for ourselves and straightening out our priorities. Women need to set aside the "ME" time in spite of wailing kids or hollering bosses to figure out themselves! The right to be someone is precious. As is the right to vote and be regarded as equals in soceity. Isn't that why Alice Paul fought for a lifetime to get you the right to get inked at a polling booth ??!
