Short story: "Glad you aren't fat!" So, I had an interview today. It's an awesome job and I'll finally be making the money I deserve without basing it on commission.  Anyway, we were talking and pretty comfortable with each other, kinda shooting shit about our respective kids and life. He briefly mentions that he had a few other interviews to do but that I was his favorite so far. Mentioned one girl that came in that was just not right for the job, saying that it was very uncomfortable to talk to her (this is a right-hand-man type job). I mentioned that finding the right fit is important on both ends, and he busts out with "it would be nice if she would have fit anywhere". I just about died laughing and, trying to feel it out, made the remark that people who don't care for themselves first can't care for anyone else. He gets deadpan serious, sits back in his chair, and says "I wish I could put no fats on the job posting". I told him that there was no legal base to not put it, but you run the risk of a stampede.  I REALLY want this job now, not just for the pay and the scope of the job, but because my future boss is obviously a smart man.
