       I'm heading in to a day of (virtual) on-site interviews, aka convincing would-be coworkers that I’m not a total doofus, or at least I can hide it for several hours at a time.

       @cinja I’m ashamed to admit I had to look that up to refresh my cache.One guy I in-person interviewed was unpacking his bag on a little table. "Here's my laptop, a notebook, my router, my pen…” "Wait, back up a sec. Show me this router.” His eyes lit up as he told me all about the little Linux router he'd made and was carrying around with him (and *why* he was carrying it around). We never got around to the official interview part. I insisted we hire him, and we did.

       @randomgeek That's a good distinction. 😀 “Look, I *am* a doofus. Facts are facts. But I'll do cool stuff for you between pratfalls.”

       @sungo @cinja Heh! You know, I was recently flipping through an old Field Notes I was carrying to make notes about a client's network setup, and realized that the only other notes in it were about other clients' network setups.So that's what I use a notebook for: drawing server racks and switch ports.

       @tek for my part I would want to see a glimmer of doofus when interviewing a coworker candidate, but that's just me

       @pinsk Same here. You're going to spend a lot of time with them. Is it likely to be enjoyable?I try to be myself and hope for the best. If they like me as me, awesome! And if not, it wasn't meant to be.
