Still Alive

Yesterday I had to do a mock interview with one of the crazies! This guy repeatedly goes to the IRS to get reports on every job he's ever had. He also likes to let us know which consulates are hiring, but then insult said consulate. Like "The Mexican consulate is hiring, but I don't want to work for those beaners." I also don't understand what he means when he says consulates "are hiring" because I'm pretty sure they don't run them like IHOPs or In-N-Out Burgers.

ANYWAY this guy is like 6'5" and he has crazy eyes. You never really know if he's looking at you, but you can be pretty sure he is because he is sitting with you in your cubicle and there's no one else to look at. The few times I've spoken to him in the computer lab I've been confused, because he could be talking to anyone. He wears Tevas and short pants and carries a backpack full of... stuff. More reports, probably.

In the mock interview he got really into politics. I said "what did you like the least about your last job" and he said "I hated that they made me register my firearm. I mean, all my weapons are legally obtained, but I'm a libertarian and it really made me angry. That stuff should be private." I should note that he is pretty much always yelling.

I asked him "the felonies question." We have a lot of people who have felonies and they need to learn how to answer a question about that, should it arise, so I just ask everyone. So I asked him if he had any felonies or misdemeanors and he leaned in really close to me, with his crazy eyes, and said in voice, a little quieter than his regular yell so I guess it was supposed to be a whisper, "well, you're still alive, aren't you?"
