As interviews go, I have had one of worst recently that I can recall. The interviewer was obviously stove-piped on his own products and could not see that good engineering practices and a broad set of experiences could possibly have any relevance to his needs. I treasure my capability to analyze almost any process from an outside-the-box perspective. Obviously, this wasn't the right person to interview with.
Do any of you feel that Chris Christie is getting a bad rap? Apparently the Democrats believe that he is a threat to Hillary's future campaign, so they are raking his character over the coals. He was (and still may be) the Republican party's best and only hope of a decent show at the primaries. My bet is that he will be totally exonerated of any bad or illegal doings, but will have had his name drug though the equivalent of the Holy inquisition for no other reason than to breed doubt amongst the voters.
I just spent just under an hour bouncing around on the Covered CA site for Obamacare. They couldn't possibly have made it any simpler, except for the most important part; which doctors does it cover? Seems like a simple idea: "I want to keep the same doctor that I have had for(ever)". Can I?
