What my friends think I do...What I think I do..What I really do

Dedicated to all my friends who are eager to work and to the ones who are eager to leave work :P

It definitely isn't applicable to all.
Hmmm...interesting. I see you are well versed with so-and-so software and you have worked with these languages. Your projects will prove beneficial to this industry. It is very impressive. Congratulations, you are hired!

Introduction.Ppt (we have revenues,shares,shareholders and commercial ads)
High tea - future bosses..."yes sir""exactly sir""I want to work on this and that sir"
