"Sonja writes: I was checking a very nice lady's references when finally, at the end of the conversation, her former supervisor said, "Why do you keep referring to him as 'her'?" I responded that the person I had interviewed was a female. The supervisor then explained that the candidate had been a male and was probably in the middle of "a change." "

I was interviewing a woman for a clerical position. On her application, she checked "Yes" to a felony conviction and wrote, "Will explain during interview." She said she got mad at her now-ex-husband and hired someone to kill him. But at the last minute she called it off, and he is still alive. She stated she was now on medication and is "all right." She was a great interview up until that point.

Lots of people are "all right", until they stop taking their meds.
