Interviewer: So I assume you're adept at all Office products, right?
Me: All except PowerPoint.
Interviewer: What do you mean? Everybody knows how to use PowerPoint.
Me: I'm sure I could figure it out. F1 brings up the help menu. It's how I learned the other modules in the Office suite. I just hate PowerPoint. It's garbage. Nobody should use it. Ever. Have IT delete it off all your computers.
Interviewer: What? How would you give a presentation then?
Me: I don't know. It's been a long time since I took Public Speaking. Tell you what--give me a topic and a week to prepare and I'll come up with a creative presentation that will actually keep people engaged.
Interviewer: You took Public Speaking?
Me: Yes. Of course. Isn't that kind of a basic requirement if you want to call yourself educated? And, I mean, it's not easy to learn on your own. If you're gonna get up and sing the ABC song at the salad bar at Shoney's, you better do it at the end of your meal 'cuz they're gonna throw you out. I did that once, y'know.
Interviewer: You did? Why?
Me: Lost a bet. My boss was a prick.
Interviewer: Well, you're either getting the job or referred to the FBI for heavy surveillance. Probably both. Welcome aboard!
