At my last interview I'd answered all their questions including a verbal
exam and they seemed pretty happy so they asked if I had any questions. I
asked (my future boss) if he enjoyed the job and if he found it particularly
stressful. He answered that he did find it enjoyable, although a little
frustrating at times, and that yes indeed both his and my future position
were both fairly stressful ones. For some reason I blurted out and asked him
"Oh, is that why you lost all your hair?" :) Oops. He thought it was funny,
said it was his wife and kids, commented on a good sense of humour being
essential for the job and hired me.
