The Interview Chronicles - Defying The Laws Of Gravity

The next step of the journey usually involves some sort of flying apparatus which usually becomes airborne from a central hub known as an "airport".



Here is Your Humble Observer patiently awaiting the opportunity to strap himself to a metal tube and hurl himself at 600 miles per hour* through the air in one of the greatest projectile feats known to man.



The airport often served also as a dining area for YHO since rarely did the opportunity arise to eat a proper meal. And, Lord knows, a flying man needs his energy. Very healthy choices by YHO, might I add. (Gummi Bears are a way of life. Deal with it!)



Once the captain has indicated that we have reached our cruising altitude, the flight attendants will be by to serve a complimentary beverage...and if you're peasant-ass is lucky, you'll get the whole can instead of just a crummy little plastic cup filled 3/4 of the way with ice...



Also once we have reached cruising altitude you may use all approved electronic devices. Please note that cell phones and two-way pagers may NOT be used at any time during the flight...YOU HEAR THAT ROW 26D?...STOP TEXTING AS WE ARE COMING UP TO THE RUNWAY!



The flight usually provided a great opportunity to get the initial prep done for the interview, including brushing up on program information, highlighting pertainant points, and summarizing it into my neat pre-made worksheet. (Don't act so surprised...it's like you don't know me).

Ok, see you all when we're safely back on the ground.


*Shout-out to H.A. who first brought that description to my attention.
