I ask potential employees about exercise habits.

I've even driven by and checked out their lawns.

Slovernly people in private life are slovernly workers.

I'm an extraordinarily precise programmer with a messy lawn. And it's "slovenly."

Oh, contrair, Mean Mr. Mustard, at least in my case, I'm one hell of an employee, but your sneaky surveillances might have you thinking otherwise.

I love my job, I do it as well as it can be done, why, I wish it were an Olympic event, my yard would be a messy pile of gold medals and ribbons.

Bullcrap. Nitwits like you are the reason I work for myself. That way I actually get judged on the quality of my work. What a concept. Personally, I would expect "slovernly" spelling to be a more accurate predictor of work behavior than poor lawn hygiene. Thank God YOUR boss doesn't have a spelling fetish, or you'd be on the street.
