Oh man, I am slipping.

Yesterday was April Fool's, and by tradition I always share the Broken Penis Story on April Fool's. Not because it's not true, but because it's the anniversary of the time a student of mine fractured his penis.

I KNOW!

So I am sharing it today, one day late. Man, next year it'll be ten years since that happened. In 2015, I'll be ten years out of grad school.

TERRIFYING.

INTERVIEW: COMPLETE.

*flops on all of you*

It went well, I think. I had one good interview, one REALLY AWKWARD interview (Analytics: why so awkward, bbs? Is it because you do math all day?) and two really great ones. For the first time in my life I felt less like I was auditioning desperately for them and more like I was actually learning about the office in which I may be working. I got a lot of really good information that's going to help me decide whether this job is a fit for me.

Man, Skype is an awkward conversational medium to engage in with strangers. It's very much hey folks, here's my GIANT FACE, hope you like my haircut 'cause I didn't realise how goofy it looked on camera.

I did get to tell the story of that time I had a moral dilemma over whether to mention in a profile that the prospect in question was probably involved in organised crime. I bet even if I'm not the best candidate I'm the one with the best stories.
