In the Aeroplane Over ... Oregon?

That's really kickass that you got to go to Berkeley. Even as an alum, it's very difficult to get on recruiting trips there. They have a whole organized recruiting team for Berkeley that you have to apply for. Plus, I think they often just get people from SVC to drive in for the day as opposed to flying people out from Seattle. I hear getting on a recruiting trip to Waterloo is all but impossible because there are so many damn alums who work at Microsoft who'd jump at the chance to visit

Yeah, the opportunity kind of fell into my lap. On short notice, they were a few people short for this, and they asked Clay to do it because the UEX booth was kinda cool at the recruiting thing we did a few weeks ago. I was just really lucky, I guess.

I've wanted to get to go back to Waterloo, but you're right -- it's near impossible to get on the waterloo recruiting team. Maybe now that I have some experience with these, the recruiter might be a little more willing.

You know, even though Office 2007 has been out for over a year, a surprising number of people there had never seen the new UI before. Maybe it's 'cause they go to such a Microsoft-unfriendly school :)
