Here is an interview with [G-d] given by someone (we’ll call her Sheri) recommending me for a certain position.
[G-d]: How would you describe this applicant's capabilities and work ethic?
Sheri: You know, [name of interlocutor], I don't like to throw around the words "unparalleled genius" casually, but that's what it comes down to, right there, my friend. His abilities are most likely beyond your meager comprehension. But that's OK, because you don't have to understand him to hire him, which I recommend you do immediately. [Laugh smugly here.] Also, his work ethic is comparable to a draft horse. Or Jesus, maybe. He's like something that's determined and strong, but that can also work miracles [riff extensively on this abstract simile], and that's all you need to know.
[G-d]: What are the applicant's greatest strengths/weaknesses?
Sheri: What—are we talking physical strengths here? I know he runs the forty in, like, two flat. Long jumps like one of the Mario brothers. Also, his torso, from what I've heard, is fully ripped and exploded. I once saw him lift a car to save a squirrel. A moving car, by the way. But if we're talking about character strengths, mental strengths, then I'd say it has to be his concentration and multitasking abilities. While it may appear to you that he's browsing the Internet, or playing PS2 games in his office with his pants off, behind those sparkling eyes, his mind is working a mile a minute, perhaps juggling seventeen or eighteen different concepts: efficiency statistics, status reports, nonlinear algorithms, sales accounts, Portuguese poetry—whatever. [Also, improvise loosely around the themes of dedication, tenacity, and loyalty.]
His greatest weakness is either his perfectionism or his inability to refuse extra responsibilities. Also, mayonnaise--except maybe Wasabi-infused. Seriously.
[G-d]: What is your overall evaluation of this applicant?
Sheri: He is the apotheosis of mankind, period! Ha-ha, just kidding. Or am I? [Huge contemplative pause.] In the history of time, I don't think I've ever witnessed someone so youthful and virile and yet so mature. Various things that come to mind when thinking about him, which I do often, even outside of work: self-possessed, tall, strong handed, upright, weight-bearing, dynamic, full bodied, melodic, sweet smelling, and aplomb-filled. I could go on and on, but let me just say this:
He’s your guy! Michael is recommended if you cannot do without the following: Esoterica, Common Sense, Playfulness, Serene wisdom, Dashing Intensity, Hearty/Silly/Giggly Fun, Immunity from prosecution and persecution, and Unstoppable Awesomeness... (I could go on--I have quite a long list here but I know your time is my time).
Good Gaud! Talk about going of topic, this interview thread was supposed to be about what one would ask god at an interview, not about self fulfilling ones ego with rant and rave about ones personal perception of one's self.
This is typical of most people in the world; one asks a specific question, and the answer comes back somehow distorted to self fulfill ones needs. What a sham.
Even though I laugh and joke, and sometimes get my spelling screwed up, at least I can still see the trees through the woods.
