stuff goes where stuff gets used or I lose it. Out of sight out of mind (like a closet) is so bad.
@Sunny Damn you Object Permanence! My one true Nemesis!
Can we be sure things exist when I'm not looking at them?
Schrodinger's Cat was such an easy concept for me.
"What? You don't live like this?"
Side note: Any of y'all subtly create elaborate fantasies/daydreams/reasons as to why something goes missing? Which pet did it, who stole it, and was it Brownies?

Cup hooks and small shelves are my friend. They can be your friend, too.

Underpants gnomes.
@Wretched I never understood those questions. People plan? Like, their lives? My brain doesn't even comprehend how that's a thing people do.
@faraday Yeah, that is the only question in an interview that regularly makes me stumble. Like what? I assume they mean professionally, because like, I could start babbling about how Cyberpunk needs to be out already.
@Wretched Yeah I've been in enough interviews to know how to plan some BS answer ahead of time, but if it weren't for that? Complete blank stare.
I still thankfully have a go-to for this:
"Pass the bar and work on gaining practical legal experience in the hopes of making a greater difference in my community."
Is it canned? Yes. Is it exactly the kind of bullshit they want? Yes.
I am firmly convinced this question only exists to determine whether you can think on your feet and engage in the sort of bullshitting that comes with office diplomacy.
Turnover is a real thing that people put into their models, you will never convince me this is truly a question about longevity.
"Do you have a five-year plan?"
The only reasonable answer would be "no."
I don't want to hire an attorney with any certainty as to where they will be in five years career-wise.
You don't know what's going to happen.
If you think you do, you're too arrogant to work with me.
Five year plan? Psh. I need a five minute plan.
Although, every time I've been asked in interviews I've said no. It's something along this line:
"I don't really have a five year plan. The reason is that I'm interviewing here without a certainty of answers. That means that I'm still open to changes that could alter a plan that I make. I feel that I would be more confident in giving you a plan once I know how this decision is going to play out." Yadda yadda...
tl;dr
I'm the opposite on that one. Whenever someone is sending me piecemeal messages, pinging me with each one, I start to get angry. Just. Frickin'. Write. A. Complete. Thought!
See what I did there?
Ceterum autem censeo Carthaginem esse delendam
