23rd January, 2002.

Question 1.
 

You're entering information into a database. Do you:
  1. Include the 8-digit ID-code that's essential for cross-referencing an item's volume number to the vendor's index of what software can be found on that volume; or
  2. Ignore it. Just because the preceding 1212 items in the database have been done this way doesn't mean anything - the person who normally maintains the database obviously just enjoys entering extraneous data for its own sake.
Question 2.
 

 Still working within the same database, do you:
  1. Enter information in a consistent and legible manner; or
  2. Pound randomly on the keyboard like a drunken chimpanzee with Attention Deficit Disorder, waiting anxiously for the next power blackout so you can go back to sticky-taping the CD-coaster collection to the wall to make pretty patterns?
If you answered (2) to either of these questions, there may be a vacancy for you here soon once pieces of your predecessor have been cleaned from the walls and ceiling.
