A little slice of the awesome that is me in a job interview yesterday:
As the interview was winding to a close, they asked the inevitable question, "So, where do you see yourself in five years?"
My answer: "Well, I'll be spending the next three years at PSU, finishing a degree in microbiology and bioengineering while also learning Japanese on the side. Then I figure I'll apply to Keio University in Tokyo for graduate studies in bio-robotics and nanotechnology."
One actual full ticking minute of stunned silence.
Interviewer One: "Wow. That is so cool."
Interviewer Two: "Totally. And you want to work for us?"

And curiously enough, at one job, the responses to that lil' zinger were, in fact:
Interviewer One: "Wow. That is so cool."
Interviewer Two: "Totally. And you want to work for us?"
Anyway, so tell me how things in general have been. You never did comment on your level of happiness, which I would assume is fairly up there and relatively stable. Though this economy, I know and feel, is taking it's toll on nearly everybody. Though I still feel we walked away very lucky from eight traumatic years with that goofball shithead GW.
