The Adventures of [Liam]
Had an interview yesterday, at what turned out to be a copymat location in the financial district. Three cheers for professional validation. After I got the call-back, I double-checked the craigslist posting and saw that they wanted someone with Pre-Press skills, and expertise in Quark XPress. I decided to get the gears in motion, and set about "finding" quark xpress and learning from how.com, wikipedia and Rylan exactly what the hell "Pre-Press" really consists of.
Did well in the interview, and I think on the Quark skills test as well.
Which was good, I suppose... foresaw it going something like this:
Interviewer: "What do you know about Pre-Press?"
Me: "I think freedom of information in the Philippines is of the utmost importance."
Interviewer: ...
Me: "Get it? Pree press? Preedom ob in-por-mayshee-on in de Pilippines?"
Interviewer: ...
Interviewer: ...
Me: "Because like--"
Interviewer: "Get the fuck out."
In other news, if you grind up green tea and put in in an espresso maker, you make something like espresso. except green, sludgy and unusable.
