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.
What was your answer? Also, yay!

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.

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.

Hide them around the house, so when you find them, they're a reward?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Mmm, chocolate covered espresso beans, yum!
Glad to hear the interview went well, ita.
45 minutes before I leave is probably too early declare that it's too late to start working on anything, huh? I mean, I can't imagine where to start on that gas station question, what would I be bringing to my normal work tasks?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The previous in person interview as all "questions", and I still think I don't want to work where their answers were right.
What was your answer? Also, yay!
Yes, yay! I said I'd take a sample of the number of stations in a square mile of a big city and multiply out by the square miles they cover across the country, and then do the same with a more rural area and add them together.
