It’s a game. I only ever went off the rails once, and it was when I saw my next boss starting to roll his eyes at some of the HR questions. They asked me the classic, “Do you consider yourself a People Person?” I snarled, “No, I’m a System Administrator! I HATE my users and I want them to suffer!” Jaws dropped until the boss snorted and then started to laugh hysterically. I’m still in that job.
I was interviewing for one job and they had me look at some electrical schematics to see if I was a complete moron or not.
They asked “where’s the power come from for this device?”
“West Penn Power” I answered, naming the local utility.
