[tpm] Job interview question

[Fernando Duran]

the problem is easy; you step out of the car, give the
keys to your friend, tell him to drive the old lady
and you stay with the woman/man of your dreams. (You
may want to make sure you have bus fare or ask your
friend)

After several months of job hunting and interviews I
must be some kind of expert ;-)

And for those worrying, yes, I finally got a good IT
job - actually one and a half, one of them with a
company that rhymes with "doodle" :-)
