More or less, this is how I got my job at Oracle.

An Oracle sales consulting director came to UNH to help
troubleshoot an Oracle issue on a machine. I think it was
something along the lines of three different versions of
Oracle were installed on the machine, but for some reason
it looked like 4 versions. (It was a long time ago so the
details are a little foggy right now.)

Pat (my boss at the time), Dave (the guy from Oracle) and
I did the 'narrate our thought process' thing to each other
while we tried to figure it out. At the end Dave turned to
me and asked if I was looking for a job...
