When you go to a job interview, leave the girlfriend at home, or at least in the car. At this very minute there's a fellow being interviewed here that brought her with him.

Perhaps she is his, how do I say it delicately, service person. He might need her to show him the door? Perhaps she wrote his resume? I don't know but you might need the third seat in the rig if you hire him/them.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I wanna move out in the desert, way away from people, and have UPS deliver my groceries to the gate. Actually, someone told me once that they think there is just as much common sense now as there ever was, Trouble is, now there are so many more people to spread it between, so not everyone gets their fair share.

I have no suggestions to fix it, but sometimes you really think the post is funny, but to reply with the "like" button seems so inappropriate..... :scream:

There's a rack on the roof. She can ride there.

Business is booming here in Western Washington; most people I know are desperate and would take just about any warm, breathing body...

I had an employee for a short period of time in the early nineties that use to bring his girlfriend to work. She would sit in his car all day. I guess he never thought of leaving her the keys.

I knew nothing about it until my air-headed receptionist at the time (Kristi?) mentioned it. The girlfriend had been using the office restroom a couple of times a day...and they got to be BFFs. Kristi was even whipping up lunches the two could share. I really didn't want to be an ass about it (yes I did) but what can you say?

Life took a predictable turn and the employee's laissez-faire attitude turned into a 'terminal' illness after a few weeks. Kristi was sorry to lose her BFF...they were doing artsy-craftsy stuff together. I had to yell at her to keep her glitter and spray adhesive out of the print room.

Be careful if you are thinking of giving this as a reason for not hiring.

I wasn't asked, consulted, or officially informed of his hiring.

If that was the case, I'd be permanently unemployed.

Had a Party Chief take his girl friend out of town to a project without us knowing it. To top it off, he dropped the guys off in the field in the middle of the week and married the gal. However, his time sheet indicated that he worked all day. So the honeymoon night was paid for by the company. I found out about him lying about his time and explained that we occasionally had to pay for a F U but this was taking it a little far. BTW this guy had a 4 year Degree in Surveying. I can't make these thing up folks.
