Hard copies. Yep.
Although having everything to hand on your iPad is never a bad thing. Bring all the ammo!
I'm feeling pretty confident about the interview. I know what they're looking for, at least two of the team know who I am, and two fairly important employees at the company are friends of mine and have been muttering about talking to people and saying, "Just. Fucking HIRE HER. We need her."
It's just the pre-interview prep and jitters that are a drag.
Yeah, I always get nervy, even though I know I give good interview. But it sounds REALLY POSITIVE. And I am crossing my fingers HARD.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, Jilli! They should really just hire you, already.
And I agree about bringing copies of the resume, but I usually forget and it's generally fine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think if you have iPads to hand out to the interviewers it makes more sense. And, hey, gives you a leg up on the other candidates.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Supposed to have high temps in the 70s this week. Not usual for this time of year, but it seems like the unusual is becoming usual for weather.

If you have iPads to hand out to the interviewers, I will sneak into the meeting and pretend to be a consultant.
I'm fairly confident I can pull it off long enough to get an iPad and run. I'll pretend I'm French or Russian or something. I'll just scowl intimidatingly and brandish a hard copy of your resume.

I'm drinking tea right now, BTW.
AIFG.
Actually, it's weird. It does taste different. I brewed it for the length of time and strength that Teavana recommends (2min, 2 tsp at 175 for two cups) and it tastes much lighter than I get when I brew it by hand, but also sweeter. I think I'll brew for 3 minutes at this same temperature tomorrow morning, which is the teamaker's recommended steeping time.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Is it possible on an iphone to butt dial or text someone without it showing up in your messages or "recents" list?
I just got a text from a Santa Clara number telling me not to call or contact that number because they would contact the authorities.
I immediately thought "oh no, butt or purse dial", but I can't see any sign that I actually did that.

Lee, maybe they texted you by mistake. (IOW, they didn't text you by hitting "Reply," but actually typed in the number, and maybe they got the number wrong.)
