Sounds like some of the psyco-babble tests I had to go through when the company recruited me out of college about 1980. I think it lasted about five days in some non-descript, one story office plaza in Ann Arbor, MI.

I remember one of the questions, it was an either/or type deal:

1. Would you rather be doing a good job for your employer, OR

2. would you rather be kissing a pretty girl?

"Jesus Christ! I can't answer that without lying. Am I going to have any time off or am I expected to work 24 hours a day? Can I check both?"

"No, Mr. Pacman. Answer ONE of them to the best of your ability."

As much as that question stuck in my craw through all these years, I can't, for the life of me, remember how I answered. I hope I said kissing pretty girls.

If I didn't, I'm sure as hell trying my damnedest to make up for it now. I'm runnin' out of time.

Well, I got the job. I quit in 1995 when they wanted me to do illegal shit. I still get called into play now and again for some desk work. If I'm online for more than a few hours a day, rest assured, I'm gettin' paid for it.

"You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave."

In a previous life I worked for a US defense contractor for a year or two. Armed gov spooks all over the place, and we had to wear our ID badge with security clearance level indicated at all times. When I quit, I had to go to the main security building for my exit interview. They took my ID badge and then sent me out the room for a few minutes -- not sure why. So I walked around a little looking at stuff, reading bulletin boards and such. A gov spook accosted me brusquely: "Where's your ID badge?"

"I don't have one."

"This building is off limits to unauthorized persons. What are you doing in this building?"

"Just waiting."

"Waiting for WHAT?"

Seeing he was about to lay hands (or gun) on me, I told him I was an employee who was processing out.

Not sure sure whether or not they checked my "Eligible for re-hire" box.

I did some contract work for a few defense companies between assignments.

One was for a program called SINCGARS (I think), As I recall it might've been an iteration of the ARC-164 Pave Radio project my dad worked on before he died in 1976.

Another was a couple HMMWV projects with pedestal mounted missile launchers on them. I think one was Stingers and one was Sidewinders. It was strictly advisory, you can drill here, but not here.

One was with AM General/LTV when they were having production problems getting the wheels pointed the same direction going down the road and another was figuring out how to install the run-flat rings in the extraordinarily expensive and heavy tires in a production environment.

That was a long time ago...

Now I worry about falling up my steps...
