P.S. One last thing - try not to worry about what bacula does if your
clock somehow goes wrong and decides that it is 2037. Or 1970. Or last
week. 😀

I was asked to Interview at #JPL once for an immediate need contract to address some infrastucture issues back in the NT 4.0 days.

The interview itself went well between me and three staff members, and at the end they gave me a quick tour of the facilities and team members I would be managing.

I figured I would be receiving a call and offer letter in the next day or two, but before I left, they led me to a room with some workstations and asked me to take a test.

I declined.

Less than a month later, two of those interviewers in the group were among the students attending a Core Technologies class I was teaching in the #MCSE program.
