Be careful what you ask for...
Every couple of weeks I get contacted by random recruiters looking for software engineers. Recently I had a pretty amusing conversation with one of them.


Recruiter: We're looking for somebody with 7-10 years of experience writing filesystems.
Me: The only person I know with that level of experience writing filesystems is Hans Reiser.
Recruiter: Have you worked with Hans before? Can you send me his resume?
Me: http://www.idiom.com/~beverly/hans_resume.html
Recruiter: You are too funny! We're willing to let our developers telecommute but the state penn. wasn't quite what we had in mind. Thanks for making me smile though :)

Wow, that's a pretty good story - both Reiser's (which I didn't know) and yours!

I find it humorous the recruiter hadn't heard of Hans Reiser before. In any case, I thought he was out on bail.
