<p>So, I got my job mostly by emailing the CEO of this cool-sounding start-up and saying, “Hey, can I have a job?”</p>
<p>The other day this conversation happened:</p>
<p>Me (re: how I ended up here): “By the way, I can’t believe that worked.”
Boss: “Well I didn’t just hire you as some random person from the internet. I’ll have you know that I googled you extensively.”
Me: “And what did you find?”
Boss: “I figured that anyone who would go around [wearing</a> a duct tape outfit](<a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/life/student_life_culture/what_mit_students_do_on_friday.shtml]wearing”>http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/life/student_life_culture/what_mit_students_do_on_friday.shtml) must be pretty cool.”</p>
<p>Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up.</p>
