RE: Interviewing Strategies

 I can see it now. 

Well Tom, we'd like you to come to work for us. Do you have any questions?

Yes, may I go use the restroom? Before I say 'Yes', I want to see what kind
of toilet paper you use here. That's important to a technical writer in case
we run out of note paper. (I had to tie this into TW somehow).


I never thought of that before. As a technical writer, I make it a point of
learning something new every day. Hey, I can go home now.

Good point -- you're scoping out the company as much as it's scoping you (or
you should be).

I have never forgotten the advice of a 1970's Ms. Magazine article that
advised not to go to work for a company where they provide only "industrial
strength" toilet paper.  They will be just as penny-pinching and insensitive
to employees' comfort in every other area, too.

In a career of more than three decades this silly little note has always
proven true.
