Yeah, my completely useless employment assistant has been proving that one wrong very nicely for weeks. I'll have a job any minute now, honest!!

The answer explanations were extremely focused on work, office and corporate drone-ship. Almost as if this was written by some maniac HR department. Also: Hoping for the best while expecting the worst does mean being realistic and expect (possible) failure and to prepare for it just in case. While hoping it will all turn out as good as you also are expecting. Sorry, might have worded this a little poorly.

Question 10: If you wait till your website is old and/or breaking down, you are too late. Websites need to innovate constantly or you'll lose customers. So never go for the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach.

I always knew the saying as "The squeaky wheel gets the oil" and apparently that's an acceptable alternative, according to Google...but not BP...

I'm an engineer, so the squeaky wheel gets removed, then I take out the axel, because I'm already down there anyways, and there are new and better axels now. Also since I've got my tools out, should probably just re-build the whole cart.

Wouldn’t coming up with a new and arguably less good way to do something that already works also be like reinventing the wheel?
