Manage THIS, pal.

I have a big job interview today: applying for the position of Beverly Manager. It's a pretty serious step. Major increase in responsibility, corporate-level leadership, blah blah blah. The upside is a big pay increase. We could really use a big pay increase. REALLY.

So I'm going to clean myself up a bit, shave, dress up, throw on a tie. Does it seem odd that I'm going to interview for a position in a moving company while wearing a tie? I mean, do sewage workers show up to performance reviews in corporate drone-wear?

I have to prepare myself for questions like "what is your greatest strength", and "If you were a butterfly, where would you land", and "does my ass look fat in these pants".

I think I have about a fifty-fifty shot at this job. I have more experience and seniority than my next competitor, but I also have one or two, errr, disciplinary infractions on my record. I'm wondering how much I'm going to say today will actually influence the hiring process. I mean, I've worked with the interviewers for years already, they have my resume; they see my performance evaluations all the time. I wonder what they hope to learn?

Oh well, here goes nothing.
