I didn't quite understand. The company did not do construction? ^^ Then they treated you like a moron for calling? Wtf!? I've been treated like an idiot on job offer before too ...

I was on interview for a glass production factory. Was greeted by an old man, that was salt of the earth type. Good old type, sensible head. The type of people i look up to. Showed me around. Place looked okay. Three boys were working breaking glass, they worked fast.

Then i was showed to an office. A more middle aged guy came in, typical economics halfway criminal thug type. Greeted me, sit down. He wasn't a complete idiot, i've met worse, but still. Started talking, went fine at first. Then he kept talking. Wanted to know what i did in my spare time and such. I detest that. I am a professional; What i do in my spare time, is my business. I don't go out with that straight away like that, i consider that unprofessional. So i was like, going a bit shallow; "I take walks, keep my home tidy (was single), just regular stuff." Then he like, switched personality so fast, and lost interest. Then asked. "Okay, so where do you go for walks?" very casually, like the interview was already over. I told him some vague answers about it.. and just said, alright, i guess we'll talk again. He was like yeah sure, then it was over.

Never encountered anything quite like that.

Absolutely pathetic. The old guy i could feel was bothered. The middle management guy was obviously someone shoehorned in there by some investor asshole, and the old guy with experience and wisdom was just there for his knowledge.

In hindsight, i am glad i didn't get the job, the young guys working there were probably the kind of steroid bully asshole types that i truly detest. I could feel the energy. So. I am glad anyway.

2-3 months later i got an agency job at the city candy factory ^^ It went much better. Worked there for quite some time. It was no picnic actually. Quite interesting. A bit closed environment, but some good people there. Again, there was quite faulty management. Incredible how many places has ridiculously bad leadership. I just can't believe it, actually.

The best leadership i experienced, was an old guy when i worked with my first boss, the psychopath. I worked with him for two days at a house in Oslo, some rich millionaire guy, he was the leader of the project. He was 100% solid and sturdy.

The two days i worked with him, i realized astrology was real. I even asked him what sign he was, as i had just gotten into it, well, about a year ago, but still. And he was decent enough to answer. He worked so systematically. Like his brain was always thinking 10 steps ahead. So he was like always completing 2-3 things at the same time. You could tell what his next move was. He put a makeshift house floor ladder together in 2 hours. Something most people would take a day to do. My boss was different, just pure chaos, rush rush rush, work as fast and hard as possible.

He was even decent enough to drive home to where i lived at the time, to get 4 winter tires, because there was a surprising snow storm and i hadn't changed them. Came to my house. A leader of the trade, taking time to help me, an apprentice.

In Jagged Alliance 2, mercs are rated by many things, among them leadership. Him, i would rank somewhere above 80 on leadership. People like him are very far between. My boss, somewhere around 20. Good, but not great. Very strong, very fast worker. But he could not build an empire. That takes brains more than brawns.

I had used the self-service checkout again and I didn't have a bonus card for a 2 euro discount, so the staff lent me their card.

Those lazy sheep at the supermarket, happily yawning instead of helping people, and then I have to scan my products myself. And when I'm done I have to wait another 3 minutes, because they want to check me for theft.

Then you go home, 4 children are waiting for the zebra crossing to cross, But that sheep taxi comes sweeping at 60 km per hour scarring the children, so I throw my bike in between, that idiot almost hits me, I should had thrown my 6-pack through his windshield.


I charge at least 30 dollars worth of groceries for me to scan my own shit

Sick trolls want me to use my phone, with their QR code, control society, the secret agenda is coming out of the sleeve.


They want to link my drinking habits to my bank/name, and scan 24/7 my position
