James Bond in the server room

My interview for a job was held on campus.  Since I rode my motorcycle to campus any time there wasn’t snow or ice, this was no exception.  One snag, though: what to do with my gear?  Lugging around a Roadcrafter, riding boots and fullface helmet while wearing a nice shirt and tie didn’t seem like the most professional thing to do.

Solution: use what was available to me.  Namely, access to the university’s server room.  I popped in there, cleared off the desk used for my other job and unzipped out of my Roadcrafter to reveal my clean white shirt and tie.  A quick change into dress shoes later and I was off to the interview, feeling like James Bond.

And yes, I did the tie straightening bit after shedding the riding gear.

Note: I’ve had more than one person ask me about this, but to clarify, this was the interview for my current job.  I’m not in the market for a new one, unless someone wants to double my salary for a SharePoint programmer!
