I realize most have had a one night stand, doesn't mean she is up for a one night stand now. I understand both myself and a prospective partner have a couple past moments we aren't proud of. What matters is who they are today

Would assume thus meant a stronger connection that waiting a long time to have sex. Espexially if the relationship doesnt get boring soon after.

Edit: i am awful at typing on my phone

I have a really close friend that had one night stand with his fiance and very soon to be wife the first night they met. They were trashed before they even met that night. Definitely can happen this way, and in your case it prolly added to the connection.

Ugh. I suck at this.
I believe Anthony Bourdain wrote in one of his books about a job interview where the guy asked him, "What do you know about me?" Bourdain knew "next to nothing" about the guy and said so. It was only afterwards that he realized the restaurant owner has been asking him "What do you know about meat?"

Do you think you butchered your interview worse than that?

Haha yeah sounds like he did pretty bad.

What kind of job was it for? Seriously, you need to study for job interviews like you do for a test. Before I had my interview for my current job I studied thermodynamics for like 2 weeks straight and was able to answer all the technical questions with ease.

Probably not. In hindsight I think I only really got one or two questions "wrong." But it wasn't pretty. Still not expecting a callback. meh

It was for a design job for a photolithography company. There were three people on the phone. Two I couldn't understand because they were too far away from the speaker or something and the other one was foreign.

And they kept using terminology that I really wasn't familiar with, so I had to ask them to rephrase questions multiple times. Then they had me imagine a design and I think I was picturing it wrong because when I answered his question I said "well it's definitely not X" and he said "well actually it is X." And I've been looking at my drawing for the last hour thinking that I had to have it wrong in my head, because it's definitely not X!

And when they asked me about how I accounted for degrees of freedom in a part I machined, my response was "well the machine did that for me."

I wanted to break out some old papers and review them before the interview but I've been cramming circuits into my head all morning.

I laughed so hard when I read that part. What an idiot.

This is why I think a lot of technical questions in interviews are silly. Unless they are trying to ask you questions that you probably won't know the answer to, but can show off your thought process.

Do you not hire a guy because he might have to look something up to refresh his memory on a technical subject from time to time?

Have you seen the position requirements on jobs nowadays? People want a very specific set of knowledge to minimize their training cost and assuming there are multiple applicants for each position the person who can contribute the fastest is the most likely to be hired.

I am in general agreement with this (and I hire technical people). I never ask them technical questions. I like to see how I think people think, not how they crank numbers.

I often have conversations with candidates that I suspect they aren't prepared for because I think I learn more from that than I do by engaging them in 45 minutes of canned discussion about their resume, work experience, etc.

what exactly do you guys consider to be technical questions?

Anything you have ever been asked on a test in school. Anything covered on a professional examination needed to receive credentials.
