PL-SQL

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

I met with Sailor Yoon and the girlfriend for a drink or two, this evening, and was interrupted at one point by a bizarre phone call. It went like this:

"Hello?"

"Can you answer one or two questions about PL/SQL?"

"Uh, yes, who is this?"

"I need PL/SQL"

"Are you sure you have the right number?"

"I'm calling, right?"

"...."

"Can you answer one or two questions about PL/SQL?"

"What do you want to know?"

"It's very loud where you are!"

"I'm in a pub!"

"Oh, you're in a pub?"

"Yes, who is this?"

"Can you answer one or two questions about PL/SQL?"

"I'm hanging up, now!"

After hanging up, I wondered what that had been all about. I decided that someone had found my resume in a desperate search for PL/SQL online, and had called the phone number on the resume. Pretty bizarre.

Tracey assured me that it was an unannounced job interview, a response to one of the jobs I'd applied for.
