True, but I think those people are beyond saving.

TR had a strict "no hats" policy for the class I was in. One day, he went up to a bunch of people before class who had hats on and yelled "You're fired!" at them and told them to get out of his face. Some of them were just wearing stocking caps because it was really cold outside. It was awesome.

Yep, I wasn't sure if I was remembering correctly. I was at a house party about a year ago, getting drunk and wasted and stuff, and the next thing I know, god damn Patel and Akelroy walk in. rough ridin' sweet. They separate for some reason, but Akelroy comes over to a group of us, points at Dr. Patel and says (all britishy), "See the girl over there? I'm banging her."

Patel was my chem professor at the time. Akelroy subbed for her at times. Bricks were shat. Also gave me a weird boner.

They may not care, but for many larger companies this is not true.  Interview for a position at a large company wearing khaki's and a polo, and lets see if they pick you over the guy with the exact same credentials who wore a suit and tie.

PPD (DEN325). Worst class on earth.

Yea that class was pointless for someone born with common sense.  Great for the nerds who thought khaki pants, white socks, and brown shoes were acceptable to wear in a job interview.

I have never worn a suit to an interview and gotten a number of offers.  Its an interview not a fashion show.  That is what I tell any candidate I interview at my current job, nobody cares if you own a suit.

geek squad doesn't count.  and before you bring up radio shack, it doesn't either.

I'm pretty sure all of the Professors I have had are insane.    

Not a hotel and restaurant management major, but took a class taught by Dr. B. You haven't lived until you've taken a college class about alcohol, taught by a wino...
I took a class called drugs and behaviors phsyc200 level and the professor came to class drunk a couple of times.  The first day of class he asked who in the room liked the tast of alchohol?  3/4 of the class raised their hand and he told them they were full of crap.

They may not care, but for many larger companies this is not true.  Interview for a position at a large company wearing khaki's and a polo, and lets see if they pick you over the guy with the exact same credentials who wore a suit and tie. 

Also, congrats that your company looks past all that.  It's not the common.  If this were a perfect world, people could walk into an interview showing all their tats and piercings without the interviewer using it as judging criteria. 


You will never get a job that you aren't qualified for by looking great, but could easily lose the opportunity for one you are qualified for by being under dressed.  Every man should own a suit irregardless of the need for one in an interview. 

I love wearing suits. Every day at my office is like casual Friday, so I think it would be awesome if we had formal Fridays instead.

I feel the same way.  Love suiting up.  I also look damn good in a suit.

Scott Gadekin (sp?) was a Beta who taught my weight training class.  Pretty much let me do what I wanted including awesome high dives over at the Natatorium.

There was a TA who taught my public speaking class that I hooked up with, she was a g-phi and I felt compelled to go to some suitcase party with her in order to assure my grade.  She was a good teacher also though.

I used to bang my RA.

Which brings up the question. . .
Which is better, banging your RA, or your TA?  You can get away with basically anything if you are banging your RA.

Did you have to do anything in that class to get an A?

Torgier- Badass. Pure badass.

That's because software engineers are mutant slobs.  No one wants to interview a guy wearing a suit he found in his dead grandpa's closet, that's been in a vacuum bag for 14 years.  It smells much worse than just a regular software engineer.
