We're working in Waunakee today, which isn't as exciting as it sounds.
Considering I read it as Milwaukee the first time somehow I wasn't expecting much excitement.
No tree fiddy for joo!
I was tempted to make a sad loch ness monster alias but I think that is just pushing it.

Milwaukee is pretty much the same as Chicago with a bit more cheese and a lot more cheap beer.

Montana! Driving across the whole state once is how madness is born, I've done it three times.
And Butte is the shittiest shithole of all the shittiest shitholes!
There's a special layer of hell for Montana, and it's called Montana.
But yes, Utah sucks a duck dick too!
When we drove through Utah we camped on the Colorado border (at a camp ground with a huge dinosaur you could go up into like Fallout New Vegas) and then drove straight through and didn't stop until we got to Portland.
Never been through Montana I actually forgot it existed until you mentioned it.
Now Pennsylvania has the worst roads I've ever been on but that could of changed it was some time ago that I was their.
My vote is for Wyoming or Indiana.

Why do I hate Waunakee?
Because it has no cell phone reception, at all.
It's cool being quant and all, but come on! It's like being in the bastard hybridization of Riverdale and Amish Paradise without the benefit of either Jughead or Amish people.
Just a bunch of douche bag conservatives that think they're better than us city folk.
Also, it's only 6 miles away from Madison, so no excuses for them.

Considering I haven't lived in the country since I was 18 I'd say yes, I'm city folk by now.

"Ms. Scint, when are you having kids?"
"I'm not."
"Why not?"
"Well, you're kind of like my kids."
"Awwww. Can we call you Mom?"
"....."
"Mom, can I go to the bathroom?"
My children.

I've never heard of or seen that before. Given it's brewed by Pabst, I'm glad of that, and shall do my best to avoid it in future.

I have yet to find a beer brewed in Milwaukee that I consider edible.

I love job applications, and their stupid question, and interviews, and their even stupider questions.
I know to completely skip applying for a job if they ask me a series of stupid questions anyone who knows how to lie will answer correctly. "I would always tell the truth, even if I knew a friend was stealing" - Gee, I wonder what I'm supposed to put here... I mean seriously?
My favorite are stupid interview questions. I know I don't want to work anywhere that has the balls to ask "What would you say is your greatest weakness?" Loaded question. Only correct answers are weaknesses that are reloaded as strengths, with the go-to being that bullshit "workaholic" answer.
How do I answer when they ask what my greatest weakness is?
Answers I've used in the past:
-Bullets
-Kryptonite
-Latin Women
-A good back massage
-Fire
-My inability to not tell people who are stupid that I think they are when they're being stupid.
-Latin Women (it required emphasis)
-Earthquakes
and most recently...
-"Stupid questions interviewers give that make me wonder if the people coming up with these questions have ever run into a single person with a triple-digit IQ score in their entire lives"

I'm rather surprised you can find employment at all under those conditions.
I've never had a job interview where I wasn't asked about my "greatest weakness" except back in my video store days. And, being one of the people on all these hiring committees, we *don't* want you to try to turn that into a strength. That's big negative points. I'd give more points to, "I don't have any idea; what kind of question is that?" than I would, "I work too hard," because it shows at least some amount of honesty.
Everyone has issues. I want to know what yours are. I don't want some bull answer that tries to turn it around, or some snippy answer that acts like it's a stupid question.
It's not a trap. It's not a "gotcha". It's not, "Give me a pat answer and let's move on."
It's, "Do you know yourself well enough to be able to give me an honest evaluation of your strengths and weaknesses, or are you going to duck the question and prove to me that you're still too immature to understand the purpose of the question?"
I answer honestly: I don't multi-task well. If I am working on a project, I focus on that project, and I get distracted and frustrated if I get asked to take care of something else in the middle of the day.
My manager's happy to know that, and lets me know at least a day in advance of any changes in priorities. Makes me work better and happier, and gets her better work. We both win when we both know what I don't do well.
EDIT: BUT (and it's a BIG but), I *am* aware that a huge number of manager-types don't understand the purpose of the question, either, and they really do want the pat, "I work too hard" answer. And yep, if you can tell that you're interviewing with THAT kind of manager, you don't want to work for 'em, anyway. But guess what? Honesty in that case is the best policy again, because they won't hire you and you won't have to work for such an a$$hat.
EDIT 2: And yes, it was really useful to learn about my co-workers' weaknesses. "I obsess on projects and never let them go" woman was dead-accurate on that one, so when I was managing her I knew it was my job to order her to stop working and move on. We all have hang-ups. Knowing my co-workers' and how to manage them is golden.

With the (somewhat limited)work I have done in the employment field working with a distressed population, that question is about as helpful as eugenic quizzes. It is very much a gotcha, and should be removed. There are better, less insulting/triggering ways to get that kind of introspection.

I have to agree, if only because *ALL* of the "how to take an interview" courses/YouTube videos/etc. basically say, "THIS IS A TRAP!!!! DO NOT ANSWER IT HONESTLY!!!!"
Which sucks, because as an interviewer I'd really like to know what I need to know about you to evaluate you and make sure we can accommodate whatever it is you do poorly. Having my hands tied at the onset makes issues in the future far more likely.
Interviewer: So, Mr. Yesterday, tell me. What do you think is your greatest weakness?
Captain Yesterday: Well, I'm never less than 15 minutes late to work. And I won't work weekends. Or Friday nights. Period.
I: I... see... Thank you for your honesty.
I: So, if you'll be 15 minutes late every morning, would you be willing to make up for it by working the extra time in the evening?
CY: No.
I: So what you're saying is that you want me to give you an extra 15 minutes off a day, pay you for it, and get nothing in return? That doesn't sound very fair to me. Why should I hire you under those conditions?
CY: Because I can shave an angry skid loader with a bear.
I: ?? What does that mean?
CY: It means I'll do a better job than any three of your other employees put together!
I: I... see...
Well, here's what I'll offer you, because we really need people in the back right now. You can work in loading and assembly. You can be 15-30 minutes late every day. But I'm setting your quota at 50% higher than the other workers. If you're as good as you say you are, then it should be easy for you, and I'm getting more than my money's worth. If you miss a single day, you're fired on the spot. Deal?
CY: Deal!
The problem is, such a scenario would never play out, because managers at such places aren't trained to look for the balance they need: What can this person do well vs. what will we need to make up for in this person?
But from the point of view of the employer, "You don't get to know what's wrong with your employee until after you've hired him/her" is a massive PITA.
Obsessive girl warned us. We hired her anyway, and told her not to do those things. She did it anyway on her first project, going in after handoff and approval and editing files.
But we knew to look for it because she'd warned us, so we restored the files, and from then on all of her handoffs went to directories she couldn't access. It was easy to implement, and she was otherwise a perfectly good employee, so knowing that one glaring weakness got us a few years of really good work out of an employee who otherwise would have been one-and-out-the-door if we'd found out about the edits post-production.

All interview questions are baffling to me.
What's my greatest weakness? Job searching and interviewing, the whole process makes me want to give up and live under a bridge.
Why do I want to work here? Because I [strike]can push a broom[/strike] have a skill you need and I want a paycheck, but that's not what you want to hear but what do you want to hear...?
Probably it will get easier for me next time I interview because I'm now in a professional field, but I'm not looking forward to it.

Oh, gods. "Why do you want to work here?"
Now THAT is a question that needs to be expunged. I *despise* the whole, "Tell me how great the place I work is," and I argue vehemently against it every time it shows up in our list of questions.
Now THAT is a stupid question.
