**I’ve never rollerbladed.** I’ve got pretty good balance until you put something between my feet and the earth. Then, all bets are off. I might as well go now, as I won’t be on much anymore now that I can’t surf the Dope 9 hours a day at work. **Never have I ever interviewed for a job** My first job at KFC, my buddy just told the manager to hire me. When I moved to college to work at that KFC, my cousin already worked there, and just told the manager to hire me. My second job, at the explosives testing facility, I had a buddy that worked for the field crew, and he told the supervisor to hire me. When I went over to engineering, I simply asked the engineer I worked under if I could transfer. My first assignment at my current job, one of the rugby old boys hired me. When I “interviewed” for my current position, I dressed all nice expecting to be really grilled, but the gal basically told me what her division did, asked me if I thought I would be a good fit and if their projects would work with my thesis, and then she asked me when I’d like to start. I like to think my resume got me the job before I even walked in the door. ---

Yes and no. Not really. Truth is, I got two interviews, but both were really rigged from the get go (first job, the CEO of the company was a pal and client of my mum, and I was gonna be an intern anyway so no big deal. The second CEO was my uncle. So… yeah. Nepotism über alles. I was ashamed both times if that helps.) But the job I have now, I never interviewed for. I bitched at length on a forum about how a game got translated, one member sent me a PM saying “think you can do better, smartass ? Send a resume”. Turns out, she was the head of the translating project 🙂 So, Santos, you be the judge - **do you** **get kitties**? ---
