   My new boss was the guy firing the questions at me.  I was wearing a   
   double-breasted (there we go again!!) suit while the interview panel wore   
   jeans.  Quite funny really.  Anyway, I had a six month contract (which   
   lasted 2 years) on a project where I encountered the new boss because his   
   system interfaced with mine.  I'm assuming that my familiarity with his   
   project is what landed me the job.  I probably didn't interview as well as I   
   could have but it was relaxed because I knew the new boss and had a rough   
   idea of what I was talking about every now and again.   
      
   As for the money, it's around 1½ Stratocaster XII's per week after tax.

   I equate writing South Park episodes with song writing.  For most of the 176   
   episodes so far, Trey Parker has written them all by himself.  I consider   
   his hit rate to be in excess of that of The Beatles, who I reckon had more   
   duds than hits.  I can't think of 17.6 episodes that were crap, so he's   
   travelling at better than 90% - probably closer to 95%.  Also, I may hate an   
   episode that someone thinks is their favourite and vice versa, such is   
   individual taste.   
      
   Still, they've basically been pretty ordinary so far for the second half of   
   season 12.

   Thanks again, Sanjiv.  I'm sure she hopes she's well soon and propped up in   
   front of the cricket really really soon.
