I just walked around the house outside for 15 minutes doing the Genesis walk and dodging little dog's carpet bombings.

I was thinking really hard about the cute little peruvian alien things whilst making pizza and I've come up with a theory.

What if they're future humans evolved from chickens because they only have 3 fingers, from a different dimension. And they're here to harvest our chickens. We have a lot of chickens and now we have bad bird flu... I'm going to ignore that chickens aren't going missing but it's a tight argument.

But the price of eggs is going up up up. Maybe they're harvesting surreptitious eggs from the egg farmers, rather than chickens. Which make a lot of noise so harder to be stealthy about it.

A very specific two part question. Has anyone had a gas stove replaced with one from appliances online, and if so, how much did they charge for installation (which would likely include new or upgraded circuit, and obviously tapping the gas)?

Edit - induction stove, I meant replaced with an induction stove. Gas replaced with induction.

I'll just get a coffee for me. But I'd like to preorder for StudSpud, one triple shot flat white, and a hearty breakfast burrito to go!

So I need some advice. I have the second interview for the customer service job I've applied for tomorrow and it's with the team lead (who would be one of my direct report) and the CEO. I'm a tad nervous because I've never been interviewed by a CEO before and find it a bit odd that they would be involved for a customer service role especially wheni won't be reporting directly to the CEO or having anything to do with them? The First interview went really well and I'm very keen to get the job. I guess I'm just not sure what to expect in the second interview.

Is it a small company? CEO could be in a business of 10 people or 1000 people, and if it’s a small business they may want to check you will fit the ‘vibe’ of the company. Treat the interview the same way you did the first, it obviously worked! The first interview is often skills focussed, and the second interview means they think you can do the job but want to look a bit more at work style, soft skills and other fit factors, which may include meet and greet with others in the company that you’ll be working with. After the interview these people will have a chat with each other to see if they think you’ll be a good fit. So I would say be professional and try to share some aspects of your work style that you think are positives, and also take the opportunity to be engaged and ask them questions also. Remember the interview can also help you suss out if the people and organisation are somewhere you would enjoy working.

I think this is the most important thing when it comes to job interviews. Like obviously, they want to see who you are and what you can bring to the table. But it's also a great way to see how you'd like the company. Especially meeting the CEO too. Maybe they're a very personal CEO who liked to get to know all of their employees or something.
