In law school, my friend Paul had an interview with one of the big law firms, and he came out of it looking terrible. We asked what had happened, and he told us that when he'd sat down at the table he'd kicked the guy. "Oh, no!" we say, "what did he do?" "He said, 'ow!'" We eventually thanked him for taking all the pressure off the rest of us because who could top assault?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

We had a guy interview with us a couple of years ago whose current job happened to be in the same building. Nice guy, but not right for the specific position as it turned out. End of story, right?
Like two months later the lead receptionist asked my manager what was going on with him.
It turns out he had been keeping his interview suit in the coat closet in our reception area and coming in every week or so, changing in the bathroom, and v.v. after each interview in his (apparently lengthy) job search.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The interview went well. Everyone was pleasant and seemed receptive and amused throughout. And the lead interviewer said I had the best "work out how many gas stations there are in the US" question.
I think I need a new TiVo. Suits was unwatchable with the bars and columns of interference and lack of audio.
Or is that what a bad digital cable signal looks like?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Just every so often with the interference? That sounds like the cable to me.

That is kind of brilliant.
I just took this test pretty seriously. Am disappointed I got one wrong. [link]

Unwatchable. Probably 85% of the recording.
Also, there's one point in a Perception recording that causes the unit to reboot.

Oh, then I have no idea.

Mine: count the number of cars and divide by 100.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Best wishes for tommyrot and family.
Hooray for good interviews.
