Picture/random info/Best day EVAH at the made-up job

Mostly for Heath, but might be of interest to others: article comparing McCain and Obama using a job interviewing type approach.

Mostly for Sox, and will definitely annoy the crap out of my Spelunk Monkey:

Interesting article, good to keep in mind as I go through my own interviewing process. I share his concerns about rookie risk, but those concerns are WAY outweighed by my concerns about our international relations, economy, national security, and civil rights if McCain wins.

I thought Lou did a pretty decent job of at least attempting to remain neutral in his asessment.

That web site has a TON of articles on interviewing... but I won't worry too much about it. I'm guessing you present yourself quite well, and that's the most important thing. :)

I've done more research and planning than ever before for this interview that didn't happen this morning. I've spoken with 2 former employees, chatted up a relative of daizeymaizey's who knows the boss, wrote TWO formal stock investment recommendations (including underlying quantitative analyses), prepared a history of the trades I've done since April, 2007, bought a suit, shirt, tie, and belt, and driven 250 miles.

FWIW, I was thinking about it this morning, and I think that the fact that they chose that date/time of day to interview speaks to what they think of your qualifications. Plus, like I said earlier, they *should* appreciate the fact that you've been cool about the last minute SNAFU.

Plus, I bet you could wear the suit to take daizeymaizey out to dinner and TOTALLY sweep her off her feet! Oh, wait, you already did that....

It's somewhat relevant to thunderchicken's current situation, so I mentioned it to him in passing this morning.

I just about DIED when I saw that guy wearing the exact same jersey as me!!!!

[socalsox]

Someplace Boston-ish, but I can't remember the exact city.
