I went on an interview yesterday. It actually went well - you know it goes well when they start introducing you to the crew. Along the same lines as thoughts from playing guitar here's some thoughts from the interview - things that I wanted to say. "Did he just ask me what kind of beer I drank? Ha ha, he thought it would be Bass Ale" "Nope, I'm not from Wichita Kansas, but I'll answer your 'What brought you to Texas' question anyway" "Nope, I'm not in the military, but was an air force brat, so I have no idea what that secret handshake you just did meant" "Why are you looking at my college and AT&T experience? That was like 6 years ago?" "Why are you telling me about your work experience? Isn't this my interview?" "Yes, I play guitar, that's interesting that you play drums, but why are you playing air drums right now?" "Nope, I never played sports in high school, what, do you want an extra player on your basketball team?" "Ha Ha, poker could be a sport" "How in the world does an automotive finance company get setup with homeland security projects?" "Nope, not married, is that good or do you want our wives to be friends too?" I am starting to figure this out. The higher you go up the ladder the less about the work it is. It's more about being "friends" with upper management. For me, it'll always be about the satisfaction of the work. Well, that and the money.
 
Thought of the Day
"So what is it you say you do here?"
"I work with the customer so the software engineers don't have to!"
"I just gotta ask, can't they work with customer instead?"
"What's wrong with you people? I've got people skills!"
