Dock Ellis & The LSD No-No

[InternetApex]

For those following along - Huey avert your eyes - my interview went well enough yesterday. The CEO told me he wants me to visit in person with a senior VP, whom I've already spoken with by phone. That will involve a drive to the burbs and possibly a trip to a client site.

My belief is that companies don't normally give a person this type of runaround unless they're very serious. They say they're trying to make sure I'm a good fit for the company culture  (affable guy like me, what's not to love?) But what they really want to know is if you'll show up where you're supposed to be when they ask you to and look ready for business.

I also learned (through context clues) that they're adding more than just one person.

Consistently talking about this is making me uneasy, FYI. So this will be my last post on the subject until the end of the saga.

Yes and I did jam it on the one for them as well.

Here's my interpretation of how Apex's interview actually went:

Scene: Wood paneled office.  The CEO sits behind a mahogany desk large enough to land a plane on.

CEO: *presses intercom button*: "Martha, please send in the next candidate."

*Enter Apex, he is wearing a suit and tie, but no shirt. The sleeves have been cut off his jacket*

CEO: "Your credentials and references are impeccable sir.  So my only question is, what can you tell me that I don't already know?"

Apex: "In softball, a leadoff triple is as good as a home run. Jose Macias was bad, but so was Jeromy Burnitz. Ken Griffey Jr. never lifted a weight in his damn life."

CEO: *Leans back in his chair, looks thoughtful, then pushes a button on his desk*

*A hatch in the ceiling opens, and a mixture of balloons, confetti and hundred dollar bills falls rains down on the room*

Apex: *stands up from his chair with his arms raised triumphantly in the air*

Apex: "Bazinga."

Good luck. You'll be toasting Jay Cutler in Virginia McCaskey's suite with the other bigwigs in no time.

I imagine ChuckD is the only person here who would have any glimmer of hope.

If we're talking people very loosely in our circles, I wonder if Harry Pavlidis is a fit since so much of his work is PITCHf/x focused.

He talks to some of us on twitter sometimes, maybe? Or maybe he follows Andy. I think they all follow Andy.
