<p>I don&#8217;t get political on this blog. If you are looking for that, you&#8217;ve got thousands of other places to go for that. But, since this is a bitter blog talking about bitter things, it&#8217;s pretty easy to be bitter about politics. What I would like to talk about is something that came up this week in general.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s call it a job interview, but not for mine for once. As we all know, I hate job interviews with a passion, because I have had so many in the past four years. If I had my druthers, I would be miserable at a job for 30-40 years than interview for jobs. I&#8217;ve had some pretty painful ones, knowing the moment I got there that I wouldn&#8217;t be getting the job. My brother-in-law used to work for Microsoft and he interviewed for an entire day and then subsequent follow-ups to get his job there. But the one that I saw play out on TV this last week must have been the world&#8217;s longest.</p>
<p>It is insane that you have to interview in front of some lawmakers and have it be on TV just so you can be some judgy person seems insane to me. Remind me never to apply to work on the Supreme Court please. The interview process seems to be a little too long.  Speaking of going on too long, let&#8217;s just get to the Bitter Friday Giftures, where I get to judge people without having to interview for the position. Today, I will be putting something on trial.</p>

<p>Are there any objections? Too bad, because I am only judge on the Bitter Supreme Court and I have the final say. So just deal with it. You are the weakest link, 2020. Goodbye and good riddance.</p>
