Reality Check by Dave Whamond for October 31, 2023

Age discrimination is against the law

He is a little long in the tooths.

This interviewee is about to become a pain in the neck.

Broom Hilda might be available.

It’s never a good idea to antagonize a vampire.

Some new blood.

It’s not so much the age, but the employment gaps. For instance, what did you do from 1940 through 1999?

where do you see yourself in 100 years?

Byte me!

Sometimes it sucks to be a vampire.

Hooboy!! Here comes the bite!

That sucks. And it’s very funny.

…and warmer.

Sorry but the position is day shift.

Come on, Count. Use your hypnosis.

The movie of Interview With The Vampire provided one of my all-time favorite lines; on hearing who they’d signed, Anne Rice said “Casting Tom Cruise as Lestat is like replacing John Wayne with Wally Cox.”

Yes, someone younger and willing to do the job for 20k less. Also the hiring manager has 5 years experience does not want to hire anyone with more than them

Yeah, but really he never gets any older.

Judging by the look on his face, she may not either.

But…But…But … he’ll work the graveyard shift …!

You know, someone with no stories, no charm and no experience but with a reflection.

And we cannot work you to death with Capitalistic loss of job threats and innuendos.

He’s just there for lunch anyway.

Well they must have had some interest in him to give him a special night time interview. Then again maybe they did it so they couldn’t be accused of being antivampire.

He’s looking like a mad Vlad.

Ha! When I was a vampire the first place I went looking for dinner was human resources.
