When waiting for things to compile, I am free to use my non-work computer, also on my desk to read on blog articles. It's work, not prison. :)

"So you've listed most of your requirements for this new hire on the job description. But what's not listed that you're looking for?" — BINGO. Essentially ask what's in between the lines.

Regardless of what you ENCOURAGE (my company encourages both WFH, I'm doing it now, and promotion at least every 2 years into a new role if you're a strong performer) someone asking these two questions out of the gate demonstrates a short-sightedness about their role in any company, in my opinion.

With the right audience, with the right laughter and inflection, and with the right "hit out of the ballpark" interview now in your back pocket, this would be amusing. But it's a risky as hell question in most scenarios. I know I wouldn't risk it.

I think that's a little too forward for an interview. I know if someone asked me that in an interview, I would hem and haw at having to improvise a critique of a near-stranger outright, to his or her face. Whether you mean for the interviewer to be uncomfortable or not with this question, you MIGHT make them…

Get her a Diva Cup on Amazon and fuhgeddaboutit.

I know, I know... Thank you for your response, though. :) I totally agree about the Tarahumara. I read the book, "Born to Run". Great book. My husband runs Ironmans. Well, he's completed 2 half Ironmans. He's now training for his first full Ironman. You get the picture: One of these things is not like the other. :-)

Thank you for the advice. "You can haz too!" should be on the cover of Cosmo. A great phrase. I've never done Pilates - well, except that one intro class four years ago. I will give it a try. :)

If it makes you feel any better, I'm jealous of the "Cut? Yes." answer. :)

Thank you! Fellow menstruating lady type here, frustrated with the scale. Life's so easy for guys when it comes to losing weight.

Can you explain why I, a person "built" as a hunter gatherer, injure myself every time I try to run? I mean, I know some of it's due to my being a sloth for a good portion of my life, but genetically I pronate so much I cause myself knee problems. I tried running in my early 20's, before the "sloth lifestyle" took…

This is brilliant.

Hell yeah!

5 of 7 of the past presidents have been left-handed. I'm liking my odds.

Bitch with morals. Never deny that.

You just made me laugh out loud. I lie about that a lot with "LOL" but this time it was for realz. Good tip, bro.

I'm sorry... :( I was excited myself, and was about to post it far and wide to my Facebook friends, but just had to do some fact checking. I suck like that. :)

Well, they raise good points that you can then point out to your RW Catholic friends in hopes that they might listen because "Catholic" is in the name. But if those friends get to Googling (troublemakers like me tend to do that) then they'll possibly shut back down again.

Replying to the parent thread, because a lot of people are mistaking this article as a position of the Catholic church:

The "National Catholic Reporter" isn't affiliated with the Catholic church. Per Wikipedia: "The publication is not connected to the Church itself and is independent. Promoting a progressive position, the NCR presents itself as "the only significant alternative Catholic voice that provides avenues for expression of…
