I'll write more about my job interview experiences, at least at that company. BTW, I don't work there anymore. But while I was there, I learned <em>so</em> much about what it was like on the other side of the looking glass. -TimK OK.

Maybe because it's so devious, it borders on the unfair? They should have disclaimers when people go for interviews at your company. (BTW, got to your blog via Liz Strauss' Blog-To Show.)

If I was to say "Sore fingers. Need to stop typing." wouldn't you assume that I was indicating that my fingers were sore due to the typing? Assuming then that one would think you were linking the headache to the lack of coffee (caffeine), you would be by definition, addicted. Addiction is physical dependence, and manifesting symptoms such as a headache is an indication of going through withdrawal. Seems like caffeine addiction, or "caffeinism", to me. This may be a leap, but Wikipedia also links irritability to caffeinism. http://www.minddisorders.com/Br-Del/Caffeine-related-disorders.html Fair enough, but you do see where he was coming from, don’t you?

I think that in person, I would have been even more offended, and probably hurt, too. I hope that anyone who's witnessed the insanity of the drug war and the absurdity resulting from it can begin to understand my feelings. Cheers, -TimK Sorry you don’t get it, Andrew.

You seem to take what was, at most, a playful message with a sort of nod towards possible caffeine-comradery in to some sort of dreadful accusation. I'm pretty sure the winky-face was meant to be taken much as you might take it in person, to indicate playfulness. Hmm, I’m not sure I follow your logic on this post, Mr. King.
