I did however, rather enjoy the story and felt quite connected to our young man. I hope he made it to art school. I can only imagine his brain continued to play tricks on him; perhaps he was distracted and decided to study neuro science as well. I believe I'll be back.<br />Thank you.CailinMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02286856318936072850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-6764700121230779912009-05-05T11:24:00.000+01:002009-05-05T11:24:00.000+01:00Been there, done that, signed on as a follower, th...Been there, done that, signed on as a follower, thought the story great.Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-75919359067758747622009-05-05T11:20:00.000+01:002009-05-05T11:20:00.000+01:00dave... yay! you came!

I could feel the tension in the first few questions and recognized the whoa... where did that come from that so often happens in interviews.
