Face to face with The MAN

[gridlore]

After a rather gray and mundane day of dropping pods, I was chilling at the warehouse, waiting for my eight hours to pass so I could go home. Then came a knock at our front door, and a voice asking for me.

Oh, yeah, I had agreed to be interviewed as part of a thing for darthgeek.

In comes a youngish Asian guy in a pretty bad suit, who flashes credentials in my face. FBI.

We sit. And chat.

Y'all be happy to know I did not once give into my urge to make snarky comments to some really insipid questions.

Hopefully, my answers helped.

random person here, hi!

Saw you over on customers_suck and came over cos I had to post this comment.

Apparently you're the Hero of San Jose! (er... from a post over on bigdamnknitters) ...um..yes. Sorry. I'm a strange person and had to say hi and now I'll go away and ask ataniell93 why you're said Hero. Going now! (I'm not a stalker, I swear!)

Obviously we work in different businesses.

"Sir, would you mind if I take a good look at your credential? Thanks. Sir, please excuse me, I need to make a few phone calls."

FBI FIeld Office: "Hi, one of your agents is out here talking to me. True? Y/N? Y? Thanks."

Client: "I've got some guy from FBI here, mind if I talk to him, or would you rather have the honors?"

FBI Guy: "Well, your office says you're good, and the client doesn't mind, so what can I help you with?" -or- "Well, you should really talk to [CLIENT] because they make those kinds of decisions." -or- "I'm sorry, but I'm not exactly sure what I can help you with. Do you have a subpoena or a warrant?" -or- (haven't done this one yet) "That's a very nice [forged] credential. May I see it again? [POCKET and leave room, hitting panic button on the way out.]"

Hoover would spin in his grave at high torque if he knew that an FBI agent was wearing a poorly tailored suit.

With or without garters and stockings?

Heh. Same here when I did the interview. I can see where some of the questions lead, but, a lot of them are just downright silly.

Fortunately for me, my interview was with a young blonde woman who was dressed nicely. Didn't hurt that she was smokin' hot.

Thank you for doing it.:)

Yeah, I was so tempted to be silly a few times when I was being questioned. "Have you ever participated in anything that could be considered in favor of overthrowing the government?" Outside voice "No." Inside voice "Well, I voted..."

I was so tempted to say "other than sniper school?"
