I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day. It truly is one of my favorites, even though I do think the cost of roses are getting a bit out of hand. In Japan, Valentine's Day is reserved for women to give chocoloates and other assorted gifts to their male bosses or other male c0-workers they admire. Good thing that's not the custom here. Apparently in mid-March the men return the favor and are out purchasing gifts for the women. Seems kind of nice on one hand to separate the two days....Equality amongst chocolates, perfume and flowers. Not a bad concept. However, if we gave chocoloates to our bosses here in the USA (or any type of Valentine's Day gift), it would probably be looked upon as strange. Perhaps even inappropriate.
Speaking of inappropriate, I came across this article about inappropriate questions during an interview. None of them had to do with Valentine's Day, but they are all "no-no's." I would think they would be rather obvious today but given that someone wrote an article on it, maybe I'm wrong. If you're asked any of these questions, it may be time to keep looking for another position.
