    This is accurate to at least one of my job interviews in the Midwest. Had some beers with the GM and wound up with a job.

      I think a lot of people get hired out of the bar in Wisconsin. Some sober guy going around looking for a job just won't fit in with the other employee's. Make friends with the boss in a bar and you're in.

      My first shot of Tequilla was in an interview in MI with an IT company. It was my Pres/CEO's drink of choice. My first Christmas there, we celebrated the company holiday party with Eggnog made with Rum and Tequilla. That's a day I'll never quite remember again!

    I called in “blind” on the first day of fishing season. The boss asked WTF I meant and I told him I couldn’t see myself coming to work that day. He laughed, told me to go f@ck myself, and that he’d see me out on the fishing grounds!

    I grew up in Michigan and took it for granted until I moved to Texas. In Michigan, getting called in for an interview basically means you already got the job. They want to hire you and be done with the ordeal. But in San Antonio Texas, I couldn't BELIEVE how much scrutiny they give applicants, even for the trashiest jobs! San Antonio is like "well, mopping floors isn't for the faint of hearted, we prefer 5 years of experience, must have 2021 or newer vehicle to ensure you reliably get to the job, you must have a 760+ credit score, you must not have any kids, and you must kiss my shoes every Tuesday morning before you clock in, and you'll have to be on-call for shoe kissing during Christmas and Labor Day." One year of groveling around down there was all I could take. Now I'm back up north thankfully. Never could figure out the weird employment vibe down there. I even knew several people who got fired for no reason. Like it just happens randomly in Texas. I prefer the businesses I apply at to be a little bit desperate for workers so I know I'm safe.

The regulars sitting their told me May is traditionally the worst month for tornadoes. I thought to myself, a panel of regulars in a Wisconsin bar should be the go to panel during sporting events on TV. Forget Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriquez, etc. "Let's go now to our panel of experts at such and such bar" and get the low down. And of course I thought, this is a Charlie Berens type of thing to do!
