DA makes a very good point here: you don't always click with the person you interview with. That's true from the interviewer end as well. Hopefully all your interviews will go as well as your Wake interview.
That reminds me of a good interview story. I was interviewing college seniors at UNC for my company. I didn't tell many of them that I was a Duke grad. The next day, one of the strongest candidates emails me a thank you. As his PS he writes:
PS-Please don't let the fact that you're working in Durham lead you to the dark side of becoming a Duke fan.
He was a really good guy and a great candidate, so in no way was I going to let that affect my recommendation on him. My email reply in its entirety was:
Oh Tyler, the subject never came up: I'm a Duke grad, class of 1999.
:)
I just left it at that to see how he'd respond. He replied two minutes later in scramble mode to be nice:
Ahh, I suppose I put my foot in my mouth there. If it makes it any better, I took a class there my junior year that was excellent and I have several close friends here in DC who went to Duke, so we rib each other incessantly. I guess I should be thanking you then for overcoming your disdain for the Tar Heels to come meet with us on Monday! Take care.
So make note for your interviews: never insult a school when you don't know where your interviewer went.
Reading this got me sort of worried, so I checked out her credentials. Luckily she graduated from Meredith, got her Ph. D and Master's of Divinity from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and her M.B.A. at the Babcock Graduate School of Management at Wake Forest. Whew.

So, in other news... My aunt is good friends with the Dean of Admissions at Wake Forest. The Dean wasn't the one interviewing me though, so I thought it wouldn't be worth mentioning the connection. Apparently, after my mom spoke with my aunt today, we discovered that the lade who interviewed me - Mrs. Bridges - knows my aunt/uncle even better! My mom told me that Mrs. Bridges is absolutely in love with my uncle. Who would have guessed? My aunt said she will ask about my interview when she sees Mrs. Bridges at church on Sunday. :D :D :lol: :lol: :lol: :D :D

Dinner and a movie with the doc on the tenth? #-o
Dinner with the doc would only be acceptable if Lavabe had clear liquids and about a 1/2 gallon of colon prep with an appetizer of 2 Bisacodyl tabs... :)) :)) :roll: :roll:

Will we be getting an adventure thread? You get to recuperate by watching Duke beat up Army on TV.
Is the Duke-Army game gonna be on TV? :roll:

Similarly, you wouldn't write, "I'm tieing my shoes." Rather, it would be, "I'm tying my shoes." That's just how it works. :-B
Plus, "dieing" simply doesn't look right.

I still get confused when trying to conjugate the various versions of "lie" with the lying and the laid vs. layed vs. lied vs. lay and all the other ones. I've looked up the rules a million times, but by the time it becomes an issue, I've forgotten again.

In honor of Windsor and all other people who have given up something even more addictive than PWing, I'm going to stop now and get ready for work. Have a great day, all!
Impressive. HIGHLY impressive. :oops: :roll: :D
What - the 50 (I think) consecutive posts, or the fact that I stopped posting to get ready for work? :lol:
