        Congratulations on getting the job! I almost forgot how stressful interviews can be, and I don't miss those days at all.

        Thankfully, I never got any of the bullshit questions like the one about the fictional character, or got asked to describe myself, but I was nervous as hell. I did get a bit of a tension-breaker at one interview though. I was interviewing with two guys in the one guy's office, and the one guy was throwing one computer term after another at me, trying to figure out what I knew.

        He told me I seemed to know my stuff, and I told him, "I confess that I'm not familiar with that one though", pointing to some writing on his white board that said "WIDS." He told me, "Oh don't worry about that. That means 'We're In Deep Shit.'" Everyone had a good laugh, and things seemed a lot more relaxed from that point.

        Oh, and I got the job. Been there 24 years now.
