i have a job-interview - and out of all places..

Recommended Posts

Anyone ever seen the movie "The Experiment"?

A movie about a sociological experiment on the study of the prison system. Pretty damn good movie.

I love sociology, because understanding the way the human mind works in a given society just gives you better and better ideas on how to mess with people. Elevators- Everyone always faces the door, never the back.
Bathrooms- Men are quiet and don't look around much.
Personal space- People like their bubble. If you're the only one on a bus and someone else gets on, they'll separate themselves from you without thinking about it. (Unless it's BillyVance on the bus... then they'll do it because he'd just creepy.:D:P)

Next time you're in an elevator, stand in the front and face the back. Next time you're in the men's room, strike up a conversation with the nearest urinator. Next time you get on a bus or some other mode of travel where you have the option to make space, sit next to them instead.

It will always creep them out.:D

Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.

So how'd it go?



just got back..

well, sure is different than other jobs; bars on all windows, heavy doors..

interview was pretty long, i suppose about 1 3/4hrs. then a little tour through both the women and mens tract. like twice a week the inmates can mingle with each other, of course not with the opposite sex, go outside, pretty much open doors; today was such a day.

the atmosphere seemed pretty relaxed. people drinking coffee and playing cards with each other. i was doing the tour with the "chief guard", and she'd have a friendly word with pretty much everyone she'd met.

seeing the visitor-rooms tough.. sheesh, you dont wanna sit in one of them for longer than five minutes! armored glass, absolutely no contact, not even for kids. oh yea, there was a mom with her baby. sad.

job involves a lot of things, fixing meds, bringing food, bringing people to or from the cells. you're social worker, mom and dad, sales men and what not.

i'll have to give notice until monday if i still wanna keep "in the race". surely have to sleep about it, but overall, i was positively surprised, and liked it!

So this is a prison in switzerland? if there even is such a thing...they probably have nurses come in every thursday and give hand jobs to the inmates so they wont have anything pent up or anything...of course unless its the 3rd thursday of the month...and in that case the new prison guard has those duties...wear safety goggles and bring lots of LUBE! Good luck my friend! :o

gosh, i'm nervous!

i wrote them a nice, lengthy email saying how much i appreciated the interesting interview, how i got some insight into a world that "joe average" doesnt get to see, how they removed some preconceptions i've had, their time, how i liked the social aspects of the job and what not.

i have also said i would really like to do a "training day" just to see what it REALLY includes..

and how i hoped that they've had the same good impression me as i have had of them and their institution.

that would be REALLY cool to get it! :)
