Well, that should have been a really good clue right there. But then, that they shuffled the interviews around like that at the last minute should have set off alarms. After reading that horror story, I think you should thank your car and your wife's deodorant for doing their dangest to save you from a horrible fate. And your wife, for providing the deodorant. I think the worst interview I've ever had was at Microsoft. The manager was a young woman, much younger than I was. We chatted about various things, including some of the kids television shows I had worked on when I was in Hollyweird (which is a whole 'nother tale). After the interview, I did the math. When I was working on those shows, the manager was of an age to have been their prime marketing target. However, like your interview, this was no great loss. The product was Bob. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Bob -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
