I think I finally found the right setting on my iron for my interview blouse (goes with the interview suit).
I made it up to northern Virginia and back without hitting more than one traffic jam. Also, the commuter lanes were open to all traffic on my way home.
I did not seem to be a blithering idiot during the job interview. (I was during the last one. They dragged me through a huge factory for over an hour to soften me up before the team interrogation.)
I got back into town early enough that my team were still in the lab. Under Mountain Girl's watchful eye, the guys were actually working on the Hamsters. They even made appreciable progress while I was there. I answered a few of their questions and then, my presence being a hindrance because like baby ducks they look to me, took off, saying, "So. You guys can do this in fifteen minutes." I think they can too.

Actually, the best shirt for an interview is that one they give out at the trade shows vacuum shrunk down to a cube two inches on a size. That shows off extra geek powers.
