Interviewer: See, boss? I told you we should go with the guy I want.
Boss: What about the one that was in this morning? She seemed REALLY bright,
well prepared, and experienced....just like the other three you spoke to
earlier this week.
Interviewer: Ah, there was just something about all of them that I didn't
like. I don't think they would fit in to our tightly knit group. Can I call
my cousi...I mean the tech writer that I want now?
