OT - Widh me luck
Dang. The title is supposed be be wish me luck. I can't type thin morning.
I have a big job interview this afternoon. It sounds like a perfect fit for me (even though it means going through yet another clearance process) and is close to home even. So keep me in your thoughts, send out all that positive energy.

Cool! Good luck with that.
I once interviewed with a Japanese telecom CO with the initials NEC. 
I interviewed with three different Japanese executives that didn't speak but a couple words of English. The first executive asked me a question, I would answer, then he asked me the exact same questions again. I would awkwardly change the wording of my answer but still try to say the exact same thing. Then I went to next executives office and he did the EXACT same thing, repeated the same question. The third guy did the exact same thing again!
I leave the executives and wait for the HR manager that was an English speaking American thank gawd. She comes in after speaking with the executives and asks me how I thought the interview went. I'm thinking I must have blown it because of the language barrier thing and they were probably wondering why in the hell I even applied for the job. Anyway, I tell her what I just told you and that I felt as though I blew it. She says they loved me and asked when can I start!
So..... when can you start?

Barbara, I'm sure you knocked 'em dead and it's their loss if they can't see the genius right in front of their faces.
