October 29, 2008

I just finished the interview and wow, I think I sucked pretty hard.  I just am not good at immediately spitting out answers, I like to think things out a bit more, plus I’d spent the time before the interview perusing the German coverage, so my brain was still in German language mode (shoulda thought [...]
