I hope they don’t test for coolness!

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

Semi-related. Season 2 episode 1 of The IT Crowd was titled "The Work Outing" and is the single funniest sit com episode I've ever watched. You should check it out.

So I interviewed a provider yesterday. He liked the center’s location but is closer to a different location. I told him 3-4 times that center had already filled the open position there. Then when we discuss salary, his request was a bit low so I offered him $2 higher than the top of his requested range. He said that was great.

Now, after receiving the offer from our recruiter, he responded to her that he still wants to go to the closer location because I told him it was still open. He also wants more money than what he agreed to yesterday. These fucking people.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

How much do you think he can bench press?

[wease]

150-200

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Sweet. I wonder if I can get even get 130?

U?

[wease]

Walk away. Sounds like a headache employee.

[bodysnatcher]

Yeah pull the offer then watch him come back asking for it. Then say no and laugh in his face.
