What not to do.

So, this is day number 2 for me at work.

For the uninformed - which is all of you - I just joined an internship at a media company.

This is how the interview went:

Interviewer Guy Who'd Eventually Be My BOSS: Hey, Sam-writes (Well  actually my real name, and even though all of you pretty much do know it, I just have this obsessive compulsive need to pretend this is an anonymous blog. Please bear with it.) So tell me what really is SW, how do you define SW.

Me: * Uhm... whaaaat?* Well, I am what you see, I like to do a lot of diverse things..uhmm..*stare around* , I play the guitar, I play basketball, I breakdance, I love programming..-

IGWEBMB: Yea, now, I found that pretty surprising, not many programmers get involved in stuff like that.

Me: Yea well, I was always in the middle, I was a cool guy with the nerd people, and a nerd with the cool people. *Seriously Sam? Is that you talkin?*

IGWEBMB:*uhmm.. yeaa* alright, so I have a question for you, and we'll see how nerd you really are.

Me:*gulp*

IGWEBMB: *random physics question based on concepts I studied in class 12th which I didn't remember anymore, and even if I did a little here and there, I was at the moment gonna suck at applying them and which obviously would have nothing to do with the work I would be doing as an intern.*

Me: *jibberjabber* silence - thinking *jibberjabber* silent thinking *jibberjabber*


IGWEBMB: So you're not that much of a nerd.

Me:*stares back*


IGWEBMB: *another random physics question based on this project I made in class 12th, which I didn't remember anymore, and even if I did a little here and there, I was at the moment gonna suck at knowing it, and which obviously would have nothing to do with the work I would be doing as an intern.*

Me: *jibberjabber* silence - thinking *jibberjabber* silent thinking *explains how did this really complex and cool thing in the project, but the guy doesn't really care about it.*

And then, I joined this company.

Lol! Its true! I remember asking my father about how he decides in an interview whether the person is suitable for a job in his company or not. He said that he tries to find out if that person is perfectly normal and has all his sense organs in proper working condition, and bingo! he gets the job!
