INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE

SECOND INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE OVER ZOOM TO MEET MORE OF THE TEAM

UNFORTUNATELY, YOU HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL ON THIS OCCASION, BUT WE HOPE YOU'LL APPLY FOR FUTURE POSITIONS WITH THE VAMPIRE
We had a couple older teens that weren't even in costume that came for trick or treating

And, like, who cares? They still get some candy! I've never seen any Official Trick Or Treat rules that say otherwise

Halloween is the best holiday because it's all about people giving neighbors and strangers treats for free and telling kids how awesome they are.
You scared them away from my house too!
The fact that my taxes are paying for ICE but not ICE CREAM is a literal and figurative crime against humanity
Whoa that is awesome! The fabric/pattern on the sleeves is super cool
My bones are *creak* perfectly *snap* fine *crraaaaackkk*
Seriously never expected to be a "they don't make em like the used to" people, but if the late-stage capitalism fits...
Unfortunately I think it just keeps getting worse
One of the pains of being in your 40s is knowing in your bones how much better web search used to be

Oh Pennywise manifests as your greatest fear? So a surprise all hands meeting?
my new job has an everyday meeting that is at 9am, ~3 hours before when my natural wake-up time is. It's been a few months now and I still have not gotten used to it despite everybody in my life who does *not* have delayed sleep phase telling me "you'll get used to it"

It's almost 3am now sooo 🙃
God DAMMIT
Affinity now a "freemium" app that requires a Canva login + AI subscription upsell. No more pay once. RIP

Whoever decided that being on hold should sound like this:

"*two seconds of music* *music cuts out for a moment as if someone has picked up* YOUR CALL IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US <long ramble about customer service> *two more seconds of music* ..."

is a monster and will not see the face of god

We do not only tell fables and parables so that the weakest and slowest among us can grow up to hope for better, but so that the strongest and smartest among us can grow up refusing to be worse.
"Your afterlife is very important to us, please remain behind the gates and a representative will be with you shortly"
I've definitely had one go "I hear you want to speak to a representative but let me see if I can help you first"

No, I am calling because my issue is weird and I need the help of someone with a brain to help
Exactly! I would absolutely not be calling your shitty hotline except under duress
oh that's a "fun" variant I don't think I've experienced!

The bitrate part, yes (I actually wonder if it's a function of cell phone call codecs being tuned for voice?), but music louder than We Are Pretending To Care About You is not one I think I've heard
"Our bits are very important to us"
oh yeah I didn't quite capture the "extremely quiet music/announcer louder than should be physically possible" dynamic there
oh god this is a nightmare scenario I didn't consider
