Yesterday was spent conducting interviews. And i was at my bitchy best, i think. The first two candidates were female currently working in a well known IT firm. Maybe they thought since they are not freshers, they would get the soft treatment. Yeah right. They didn’t even remember the basic things – one of them said the base of the decimal system is 12. i was dumbfounded – i just sort of stared at her mesmerized by the statement. They could not even get the truth table of AND and OR right. Can you beat that?

The third guy wanted to change company because the project he is in right is not “friendly”. But he likes the work he does. So i asked him whether he would prefer working in a friendly environment doing something he does not want to do. He got all flustered. i guess i was deliberately needling the poor guy. i hope they complain about me and thankfully, nobody would ask me to conduct another interview ever again.

He came back yesterday after almost 10 days at home – which explains why the posts have been fight-free. But it is nice to have him back. Fights and all, he is still my man. He is going to teach me how to drive – I spent some thousand bucks learning from a driving school some years back. I had even managed to drive on a road the size of a ribbon bordering a pond (hell, I was so scared I was going to drive straight into the pond – I even looked around to see if there was anybody around who would rescue me!)
