Re: [PLUG] OT (but not really): Tough Interview questions

(Sorry for lack of trimming and TP-ing; blackberry email client)
I love places that are pretty informal (and sometimes downright crass).
I should grep the logs for $current_employment's cussin' and do a wordcount on it (ooh and compare to the kernel source's famed cussin'). It'd be hilarious, I bet.

It surprised me to notice that this varied from industry to industry. I
hardly hear it at all in my current, non-profit, IT role. It was quite common
at law firms. I spent so much time in the latter, that I find it soothing and
comfortable when someone talks like that.
