Episode: Remember to remove the Labels

Back in November I had a job interview with a Gaming/Multimedia/Marketing/Production company.
The "Middleman" specifically instructed me NOT wear a suit and to wear a gaming type t-shirt if I had one.

Well, I don't own any gaming type tshirts because as I told many (read Revek) of you before wearing any kind of gaming attire is a fashion faux pas, so I asked if I can wear my Gears of War costume. They said it would be a bit much.

So, I called the resident expert (read Revek) on where to obtain a gaming t-shirt. He mentioned a few places including Walmart, though I have this thing about giving Walmart money but after going to several other places I was left with no choice.

So I bought an Assassin's creed t-shirt....

At the job interview...
The two guys that interviewed me one is a two, soon to be three time published author of programming books. And the other actually worked at Apple to help develop the original Mac, so I thought holy crap I really have to impress these guys.

Everyting went well, that is until the end, as I am walking out of the boardroom the Former Apple guy (who is Russian) stops me and says: "I can not let you leave with this on." Reaches on my shirt and removes the "XXL" sticker from it. I can feel the redness creep up on my face and thinking ok this it. I messed up.

They sent me a test to write. Sent it back. Two days later I got the job...

And I am starting on January 3rd..
