Three bald heads, six curious eye-pairs, head to head; I'm standing, holding a black marker, leaning against the whiteboard edge.
It wasn't a typical interview setting, very much shifted. There was no revolving chair for me to sit on, and brag about my credentials. I was on my feet throughout the hour, scribbling on the whiteboard, erasing out the parts after going through thorough assesment on every set of obscure sketch I would draw.
"Are you a hacker?" One of the balds enquires
No Sir...!!" I frawned.
"Do you hack Stuffs though?" The other one in the same 'Collision Domain' adds. I guess he forgot the CSMA/CD concept, or at least wasn't abiding.
"Yes, I do --" I replied, then sighed momentarily; simply because I had no add-on to iconize my justification with any plugins.
"Do you do that for Phun?" The first Nerd with deeper curiosity asked:
I looked right on his green eyes and replied: "Not for Phun...I live for it, I go to bed with it, I wake up with it. But I don't intentionally harm anyone, I'm a white hat..!!"
He smirked, the rest two looked at each other.
That was the afternoon of my job interview at a security intelligence company.
Glad to meet you, I am TJ; I am PJ; I go by Nomad! Those were the names of them three! My meaningful Nepalese name that my parents came up with after days of consultations didn't quite fit that transition. I looked forward to naming myself like one of them too..finding some charm on such aliases!
To be Continued .....
Post Script (PS): I'm a tech person, not a writer. I wrote it to kill my boredom at work today; apologies to the ones to which my blabbering didn't make sense.
