The Forever War

[opabinia]

Just got off the phone with a Tauran (All high-ranking HR reps are unfeeling, unblinking clones). I may or may not get a phone call back from Compound Therapeutics regarding a cell culture-related job opportunity of some sort. I'm too sleepy to care much either way. I think I come across as too earnest when I do phone screens while tired:

HR: Why did you pursue a technical position with Raytheon?
Me: Because that's where the money was.

I should stick to the bullshit spiel, for the sake of appearances. Taurans prefer humans that can talk like a brochure.

Yep. I'm supposed to schedule a phone interview with my potential boss soon. She has a very strong middle eastern(?) accent and a somewhat monotonous/deadpan speaking voice. Sound familiar?
