and it began so...(assuming my interviewer name is bubbly) and "Me"..
Actually when i entered the appice at sharp 6..P.m ..was greeted by
a doll like receptionist ,,obviously i expected that ,,and then
she goes like "mam..u here for ?? umm.. to meet someone" ...
Me
- Yea..i wanna meet Ms.Bubbly of the so and so dept ..
(like i wud come here to gape at u ..o plz ...)
tries callin Bubbly ..line busy..
Mam could u plz hang in here for few minutes ..as her line is not reacheable...
what wud u like u to have?? some tea ,,,or coffeee??

Me- No thanks,,
(beer will do)
me the waiteees,,,, in the reception ..actually gaping (ended up with no options left)
few million seconds later... bubbly's line was reacheable..
Receptionist to Bubbly - Mam..there is someone waitin to meet u ..regardin some interview..

Heya saw the comments ud put on the Dilbert community n saw ur profile to reach here. Must say this post was very funny. I'm also searching for a job right now so I totally relate to the mood of what uve written. In an interview one always tends to self - cross check and wonder if things are going well, will they give me the job n stuff. I went to a company that made me do 5 interviews in a day! still haven't heard from them .anyway check out my profile on orkut if you have the time devaiah kattera

The author of umeorwho.blogspot.com has written an excellent article. You have made your point and there is not much to argue about. It is like the following universal truth that you can not argue with: If anyone calls you Dick immediately after finding out your name is Richard you should not trust him. Thanks for the info.
