Eric Conveys An Emotion: The Interview

== Transcript ==

| [[Image:Emoticoneric1.jpg|200px]]|| Before I started working at Yahoo!, I wandered around Atlanta for weeks, responding to job listings in the Penny Saver. On this day I was interviewing at a video game company named Videlectrix. I didn't know a pixel from a pachyderm, but I prayed to Buffy the Vampire Slayer that I would get the job. I needed the money to feed my burgeoning Chick-fil-A addiction. || [http://www.emotioneric.com/ae/?adv=theinterview&page=1 View Page 1]

A slight aroma of cheese permeated the office, but I was immediately impressed by the high tech equipment they proudly displayed in the lobby. This was a company that was clearly going places. || [http://www.emotioneric.com/ae/?adv=theinterview&page=2 View Page 2]

He asked tough questions like "how many girls was Motley Crue talking about in their song Girls Girls Girls?", "was Poison correct that every rose has its thorn (true or false)", and "Why heart of a lion and wings of a bat? (answer: because it's midnight)" . I passed the Q&A with flying colors and next up was the rock out portion. || [http://www.emotioneric.com/ae/?adv=theinterview&page=4 View Page 4]

| [[Image:Emoticoneric5.jpg|200px]]|| I quickly found my rock groove. It was like playing Rock Band, except with weird controllers. But it didn't matter, Rock is Rock is Rock. || [http://www.emotioneric.com/ae/?adv=theinterview&page=5 View Page 5]

| [[Image:Emoticoneric6.jpg|200px]] || Henri joined in and together we shredded it up and melted some faces (faces not pictured). || [http://www.emotioneric.com/ae/?adv=theinterview&page=6 View Page 6]

| [[Image:Emoticoneric7.jpg|200px]] || Next Henri introduced me to some of the other staff. They seemed overworked and a little on edge. The air still smelled of cheese, but a little different. Perhaps a lovely Fontina. || [http://www.emotioneric.com/ae/?adv=theinterview&page=7 View Page 7]

| [[Image:Emoticoneric8.jpg|200px]] || I asked Henri for a drink of water and while he was out of the room I asked the other employees what they thought about working at Videlectrix. || [http://www.emotioneric.com/ae/?adv=theinterview&page=8 View Page 8]

| [[Image:Emoticoneric9.jpg|200px]]|| The leapt to their feet exclaming things in French like "ah non!" and "non non non!" Too bad I don't speak French. || [http://www.emotioneric.com/ae/?adv=theinterview&page=9 View Page 9]

| [[Image:Emoticoneric10.jpg|200px]] || Perhaps sensing trouble, Henri came back and enticed me with what would be my own office and workstation. It was a little small but nothing that couldn't be brightened up with a picture of a kitten hanging from a rope. || [http://www.emotioneric.com/ae/?adv=theinterview&page=10 View Page 10]

| [[Image:Emoticoneric11.jpg|200px]]|| For the final round of the interview, Henri brought me into the back room and took out a video camera and weird noise-making stuffed animal. He wanted to make a weird "art" film with me and the little thing. I had been in this situation at least twice before, and fool me twice, shame on... somebody. || [http://www.emotioneric.com/ae/?adv=theinterview&page=11 View Page 11]

| [[Image:Emoticoneric12.jpg|200px]] || it was the 2000's equivalent of "Homey don't play dat". || [http://www.emotioneric.com/ae/?adv=theinterview&page=12 View Page 12]

| [[Image:Emoticoneric13.jpg|200px]] || I decided to take the job at Videletrix. I only stayed at the company for a couple weeks before I had to flee Georgia and their law enforcement officers, but during that time I melted many a face and ate many a Chick-fil-A 50 nugget platter. || [http://www.emotioneric.com/ae/?adv=theinterview&page=13 View Page 13]
