Apart from the EPISever, the usual Microsoft stuff.

I had an interview today for an SA role (I do Infrastructure/EUC amongst other things), it was painfully obvious during the first 5 mins that they were looking for an SA who could deal with SQL/Data warehousing/data assurance - I have zero experience, not even enough to bluff. I explained the issue had a bit of a laugh, and was out the door within 10 mins with them promising to be in touch if they needed an infrastructure guy in the future.

Never a dull moment!

Yep had one of those before. What gave it away was the interviewer was doodling on my cv.

Really starting to hurt now. Not sure what is going on.
