“What? I thought this was ‘People for the Eating of Tasty Animals!’” and storm out in a huff. But be carefull not to knock over any weedy staff on your way out, they would probably break.
Yes, they were a customer of mine several years back…very weird indeed! You aren’t allowed in the building unless you are wearing animal friendly clothes…no leather(shoes, belt), silk, fur, etc.!
The IT community in the area is actually pretty small. I know a couple of people that worked there and believe me, it wouldn’t even be worth my time to go there and screw with them.
They are full blown wackos. Remember, this is there “world” headquarters so these are the craziest of the craziest. They don’t even allow cars with leather seats in their parking lot.
When you sit down in the interview, act serious about the job.
Then, open up your briefcase as if you’re pulling out some important supporting documents and pull out a big, grease dripping double cheeseburger with bacon hanging off of it and start eating it.
A group of peta freaks protest at the NM state capital building almost every week. During one of there protests, My brother and myself sat near them and enjoyed our lunch, which consisted of Carl Jr.s Hamburgers(the Giant ones). They were not happy with us, and one of them asked us to leave. We laughed at them and continued with our lunch.
PETA interviews are one of the best times to put the kydex concealment gear and your Wilderness belt away in lieu of open carry with your fancy tooled elephant leather barbecue rig. Leave the Glock at home and sport the 1911A1 with the nice stag grip panels.
And of course the ostrich and python cowboy boots. You know, something subtle.
