I'm sure you'll be fine. They probably are throwing more people at you than they really need, in hopes that you will pare out the driftwood for them.

I also think it's a good sign. They're just engaging in "consensus building."

I just (sort of) repaired an old and faulty wharfedale isodynamic driver.

It was worth fixing.

Best of luck Jacob, had a phone interview myself at 10 this morning and was given a second interview invite immediately, which is a first. You'll do great.

You give good phone!

Break a leg Jacob!

Good luck Jacob. Knock 'em dead! (not literally for Christ's sake)

Good luck, Jacob! You'll do just fine. Again, a mere formality.

Grats, Bryan! Good luck on round two!

Jacob,

If I could give a piece of advice, which is probably obvious but worth mentioning and based on my own recent experience and that of friends in similar situations where interviewing as a "known quantity". Don't act like it's a formality, even if it is. I had a friend who went into a very similar interview situation, treated it just a bit too casually and as a consequence wasn't taken seriously and got passed over. Be sincere, straightforward and confident and I think things will turn out well for you.

Good luck Jacob and Bryan!

And dangit, someone used the "break a leg" line already!

My advice is not to promise any sexual favors.....HINT, but don't promise.....

set up my big job interview for Thursday. apparently it's going to take half a day. i'm not sure what that means, precisely. i guess i'll find out!

Good luck, I am sure you won't need it though.

if i do it literally i can take their wallets.

.....and their jobs.

good luck, make more money buy more stuff. Words to live by.

uh oh, that's makes it more likely: my shovel aim is occasionally 360 degrees off.

Knock 'em dead, Jacob! Er, um, I mean, you know, metaphorically.

Thanks guys, and yes Jacob I'd certainly rather just pick up some buckets of money occasionally instead of this whole "work" thing .

Steve - been trying to live by the virtues you've taught me but some of the interviewers are getting offended when I offer extra favors that show my truly-tangible skills. How can I improve on my offers?

In all seriousness, I've had some not-so-good luck with more recent interviews (particularly over the phone) so going into this one I really stepped back and focused on how I needed to relate my experiences and attitude specifically to this exact job. I guess it helped.

Good luck Jacob!

my interview advice: drive it like you stole it!

wait....

Good luck guys.

Any jury selection team that lets you through would be fired immediately.

Sucks Al. I was picked by a jury in a DUI case around 15 years ago. It may have been the fast acquittal in Broward County history or at least I like to think so.

Can members of the jury use terms like doucebag, f*cktard and jagbag when deliberating? Just wondering.

Waiting for Zippy and Guzzi to show up for lunch.

of course they can. Other members of the jury are free to flip out, of course.

I never say "jagbag" you cunt!

I speak English with proficiency and it is not legally "impossible" for me to sit on the jury from March 22 until April 8, so I have to report back next week before I can be thanked and excused by the prosecution. I actually wouldn't mind serving on the jury this time. It can't be a death penalty case, and my trial starts back up on april 14 so I could manage it if I had to.

one of the best movies EVER.

I do a much better Jimmy Stewart but I could try.

Ouch. That would suck.

Every time I've been interviewed for jury duty, one of the interviewing lawyers literally laughs out loud when I tell him I'm a psychiatrist, pauses to catch his breathe, says thank you, and next thing I know, I'm excused.

Can't I just be permanently banned from jury duty for being a shrink, so I don't have to sit in a crowded room all day just to be excused upon interview?

Somehow I made it onto a jury a few years ago. A murder trial.
