A very important Kentucky election flew under the national news radar because of the presidential race, but the scoop is out now. Rabbit Hash, Kentucky, has a new mayor. The small community has been under the watchful eye of Mayor Lucy Lou for the past eight years, but beginning in 2017, the mayor will be a pit bull named Brynneth Pawltro, or Brynn for short.
Rabbit Hash has had previous dog mayors. Three of them before Brynn, in fact, starting in 1988 with the inauguration of Goofy Borneman — a pup "of unknown parentage," according to his official bio, who served several years before dying in office at the age of 16.
The position, as you may have guessed, is largely ceremonial. The elections serve as fundraisers for the Rabbit Hash Historical Society. Participants pay $1 per ballot, and are encouraged to vote early and often.
Lucy Lou is retiring from the job, which consists mostly of sitting on the porch at the general store and greeting visitors. That will make her the first canine mayor of Rabbit Hash to survive her tenure in office. Not that the job is deadly; it's just that Rabbit Hash mayors tend to be re-elected. You can keep up with the new mayor's activities at her Facebook page.

I never could figure out why they would be that stupid.
It was awful. My mind was made up pretty early in the meeting that there was no flippin way I'd be working there, even if I were offered the job. If I had been a little bolder, I would've stripped the tape out of that cassette, wadded it up & thrown it at the blowhard. If.

Anyway, a kid (20ish) came in, hat on sideways, skateboard under his arm and flopped in the shair where he slouched through the entire interiview (which he bombed). Then at the end he says "so, is that whatcher looking for?"

Here are the top Google interview questions and blunders from Developer Applicants
He had a scabbed over scrape on his face that he kept picking at unconsciously during the interview. Eventually he succeeded at pulling a part of the scab off, which he then popped in his mouth!
The boss discarded any resume that didn't have the little accents over the 'e's.
During the interview, she mentioned a former employee running off to the bathroom and crying. I wondered what the boss had done to her to make her cry.
The "woman" I would be replacing was 16 years old.
The position was for "office manager". Managing FOUR offices.
The pay was $10,000 a year. Gross.
Had one guy pad his resume by claiming that he served in the "US NAVE". Yep, misspelled "Navy".
Scheduled a 9:00AM interview. Applicant showed up at noon, then asked if I could postpone it another hour so he could get some lunch.
One guy flipped open his cell phone and called someone.
He told that person my salary offer and then said the "other" job offer is offering him more. He would need seven thousand more to consider working here. I told him to take the other offer as I ushered him out.
His parting words, "Okay how 'bout just five thousand more...I really want to work here."
"Just to let you know, I'm non-denominational and will be taking all religious holidays off."
"Excuse me?"
"Yes. All the Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and so forth. Even the Satanist holidays too. It's against the law for you to discriminate on the basis of religion."
"The tools you let me use...I can take those home with me? 'Cause at my last job they fired me for stealing when I did that."
"No you can't take the tools home."
"Aw man. Can I at least borrow them? 'cause I have this side business racing motorcycles."
