One time on a job application, it asked what was my biggest weakness and I put down that I was irresponsible! Sheesh! I was 23 years old. What did I know? I thought they really wanted an honest answer, but what they really wanted was a clever answer. Damn bastards. Had the follow up question been "What's your greatest strength?" I could have put down honest to a fault.

At any rate, I like to focus on my strengths and improve upon that. These middle management tiers can have sociopathic mentalities anyway and are looking for similar like minds. They don't want honesty, they want to see how well you can manipulate others. They want ruthless corporate mentality thinking people, to look after the companies fiscal interests and people come secondary. They don't care about the casualties.

When they ask my biggest weakness I put I'm too detail oriented. Lol. They expect you to put down a positive to that negative question. You could just say you're too honest. Lol.

Oh, my God, That is one of the ten scariest things I have ever heard. Totally creepy. My good friend of 30 years got laid off/fired after loyal and quality service at local news station. 26 years and he gets cancelled out. I told him his autobiography should be "Stripes in Violet: My Life as a Lily Tomlin Wannabee". He is in shock. I feel so bad for him. I mean I felt knocked for a loop when I got my rejection in 12 hours turnaround time, but this is some cold, nasty business. It happened two days ago. My friend said the guy that told him the bad news was a total dick about it. It's just a gross thing to do to a person.   I had one awesome boss. Her name was Pat and she was this rare blend of soft and tough, good-natured, easy to approach and genuine. I can't even come up with enough superlatives at how lucky I had it! And her attitudes about men/women were so relaxed and refreshing. She used to say how attractive Brad Pitt was, and she was cute about it all. The closest to "feminist" she got was one winter is was a real cold snap and she said (about some dumb, sexist comment abotu required dress codes) "I refuse to wear a skirt if it's going to be negative twenty degrees outside!" That was the toughest she ever got. Right after I had been employed at the library for all of two and a half months, my car got towed late on a Sunday night (I worked late shift on Mondays so I got my weekend extended.) and I was in a complete panic going all over the damn city, north to deep south (can be scary) trying to find out where my car is. A real blonde ditz I was. Anyway, she was very understanding and sweet about my nightmare predicament and when I finally was able to clock in, it was around 7:30 pm and there was a nice note and two Oatmeal Raisin cookies on my desk. I will never forget what she wrote - "Todd, Towing is a ruthless activity in Chicago. So have a cookie and feel better!" And she underlined the work ruthless. And how did she know that Oatmeal Raisin is my favorite cookie? How could she have possibly known this? Nobody's favorite cookie is OR, for Rice Cakes! Everybody always chooses chocolate chip, which I find totally over-rated. It has to be a good oatmeal raisin, though. A quality product. And there can never be too many raisins.

That woman sounds like she was in sync. She could read people, just didn't let on. She could smell bull from a mile away by the sound of it.
Towing has been a ruthless activity where I live and the tow truck drivers were charging an arm and a leg for cars to be released. They were being run by shady underworld characters. There was a big crackdown on bikey gangs and tattoo parlors, where drugs were predominant. Many closed down and I think the towing issue has been a bit more regulated now.
Don't you just love Violet. I had never heard of Tomlin when I saw 9 to 5. I was more interested in seeing Parton and Fonda, but Tomlin took the cake.

When I was 12 years old, I found a live .38 caliber bullet. I took it to my dad's workshop in the basement. I placed it into his vice, and thankfully, I placed it so that the bullet tip was pointing upward. Needless to say, the pressure from the vice caused the bullet to go off, blowing a hole in the ceiling. I had a lot of 'splaining to do.

I always hated questions like that on a job application as they are looking for strengths.
If I had to answer that one truthfully I might say I was a bit of a dreamer (though I know I'm not the only one).

You still have all your parts, though perhaps your dad did remove an 1/8 inch of your hide that day! Well, we all do dumb things a twelve.

Yes, Violet rocks the house! You just have to love her. She's so, so funny and her attitude is very easy to relate to. And then, when she thinks she's killed the boss, things get serious. Her panicked reactions are hilarious. Though, the early Violet's small reactions and offhand comments are also priceless. I never laughed so hard when Doralee asks Judy "How's Violet?" and before Judy can answer, you can see Violet stealing the corpse from the hospital! Oh, my God, I'm laughing right now just remembering that inspired bit of madness. Violet is not well! That's how Violet is doing! Lol! Dolly was second best, funny and warm and natural. Dolly got some good zingers herself and she delivered them well. I'm afraid ole Judy comes in last. But likely Jane Fonda was also being a good sport, knowing that her two co-stars had the better lines and were inherently funnier people. Fonda has always been a rather serious person. But Dabney Coleman is very, very funny playing the male chauvinist pig and Roz deserved her own laugh track, she was so funny. God, and Missy Hart was funny, too. Even the black cleaning lady was funny. Let's face it, "9 to 5" is just a very, very funny movie!  And what a catchy song!

Even at my young age before I went in, I had a sense that it was just being promoted around the 3 female leads—Parton in particular who would have been the main drawcard in her first film—and that the film didn't exactly appeal to me as a whole. I thought it might have been a slow for kids talky kinda comedy being about adults working in an office, ala Woody\Alda style. I wasn't prepared for the more obvious and slapsticky approach, that was well enough honed to not be too stupid, but more contextual within the story. The situational humor is hilarious and the rapport is priceless. Older kids from around 10 and adults were both in for a treat.
My folks had gone to another cinema across the road to see Coal Miner's Daughter I think, which they loved, but had also turned their nose up at 9 to 5. They never ended up seeing it until dvd years later and loved it. I myself never got to see Coal Miner's Daughter until the mid 80's on t.v or vhs.
What a treat aye Mr. Dirty! The choices we had for cinema in that era. Ordinary People was screening around that same time too which my folks saw as well. That was inexplicably rated R16 in NZ and I couldn't have seen that anyway. Must've been the suicide theme at the time. I'd say at 13, I would have likely been bored by OP when first released. Never saw it in its entirety until the mid 90's. CMD and 9to5 were only rated GA, which was general exhibition, recommended more suitable for adults.

1980 had a lot of good movies. 9 to 5 A Coal Miner's Daughter Ordinary People He Knows You're Alone Don't Go in the House Serial Friday the 13th Resurrection Melvin and Howard (Jonathan Demme at his low hey best) Motel Hell!!!!!!! Mother's Day and the toughest movie I have ever seen by far, at 15 1/2 hours in length, Rainier Werner Fassbinder's "Berlin Alexanderplatz" Nobody touches my masochistic undertones like RWF!

Oh, my goodness, you caught so many good ones. I've seen all of your plugs, except "Empire Strikes Back" (never got sucked into the SW phenomena, can't exactly say why, was much, much more in the JAWS camp) and "Breaker Morant" and "Brubaker". It is inexcusable that I neglected to put down "Dressed to Kill", no reason for that. A thousand apologies, Brian. My third favorite movie of yours. The subject matter of "Breaker Morant" makes me skittish. I am sure it is an excellent movie. The only one I did not like was "Raging Bull". Maybe I need to see it again. Also, I did not see "Superman II" or "Altered States", which has always looked interesting. Of course, I love "Terror Train" and "Private Benjamin: is hilarious (due to Eileen Brennan) and I love "Cruising" and "Alligator" is fun and "The Changeling" is an excellent ghost story. Truly disturbing. Highly underrated. Good call! I love, love "Flash Gordon" and another one, actually, that I have not seen is "Blues Brothers". Since it takes place in Chicago, there is no reason. I bet it is funny. I did like "My Bodyguard" quite a bit and the friendship between Alec and Matt was touching. I could have used a bodyguard in High School myself.... Pamela Voorhees, perhaps....

dirtypillows, I like the very first 2 SW films, Jedi started to get a bit stale for me and there were more interesting films from 83'. I saw it nonetheless a few times. I have even watched the last current 2 and will go see the third which starts next week. I didn't bother with the millennial ones. Only saw parts. I love Brubaker. Saw in the early 80's when I was a kid and was bored, but from an adult perspective, it is a compelling and intriguing prison drama, whose theme is also still very relevant today. Slow pace, but rewarding I find and has that nice late 70's early 80's feel about it. Breaker Morant I have only seen once because of its emotional impact. It is not an overly long film and in a small scale way, it is very powerful. More of a military court room drama than one of war. About top brass corruption and duplicity, one of my favorite terms at the moment. Highly recommended and Jack Thompson gives a corker of a performance as the defense lawyer for these scapegoat soldiers. If you like Paths Of Glory and Gallipoli, you will have no issue sitting through BM. Blues Brothers is a classic and a cracker of a comedy and very epic in scale. Some cool music and very fun set-pieces. These guys are so positive and affixed on their mission, that nothing will thwart it until completed...."I hate Illinois Nazis!"....  I had to put Raging Bull down as it is a highly revered film from 1980. It doesn't matter how many times I watch it though, which is about thrice, it hasn't changed my opinion of the film, that I find it unappealing despite terrific performances. Superman II, the original Lester cut, has always held a big place in my heart. It just gets everything right, a handsome Superman, 3 mean and nasty villains— Stamp, Douglas and Kiel—that you just love to hate, a nice romance, some cool action sequences and you can never go wrong with the klutzy Margot Kidder as Lois. I like it better than the first which is a bit laborious and self-important in parts. All I can say about Altered States, is that Russell made a very unusual and strange sci-fi film, but that goes without saying with Russell at the helm. Not a favorite, but worth a shot.
