    No exits?? In that case, try to find a window that will let you out easily or something, in case you have a prankster for a co-worker, like this guy.

    I told him to ask what Lightman would do and then do the exact opposite.... I think that advice is what worked.

    If I hadn't purchased his used set of interconnects, he wouldn't have had the money for gas to drive to the interview. I think I'm deserving of a little gratitude here! I think 2% of all future wages should suffice.

    Agreed! Talented folks are rather immune to poor decisions made by corporate HR departments, IMO.

    And I'd like to think that the outpouring of support, well wishes, encouragement, and yes, prayers, gave our beloved @clipdat a little boost over the finish line!

    Well done Drew! :smile:

    I agree, Dave. Also maybe all those good Karma giveaways I hosted this year are now paying off!

    I'm extremely thankful for everyone who has supported me in this thread! I sincerely appreciate all the posts.

    I'm slightly apprehensive to start fully celebrating until I sign that offer letter, but wow, seems like this whole situation has worked out perfectly.
