Retro Voyeur IM #3: Google Gets Played

Retro Voyeur #2 - 9-30-03
A couple of years ago, I was interviewing at Google for a job as a client coordinator, someone who handles AdWords accounts for online advertisers.
Before the interviews, the first-ever Voyeur IM was born. What happened however, was that during the interviews at the Google office, a lot of times I would mention PIC as one of the reasons I had gained experience in online advertising. Well, I ended up at their office for over 4 hours, interviewing with what must have been the whole sales team. During that time, one of the employees must have visited PIC and read the Voyeur IM I had posted about preparing for the interviews (at that point I was promoting it on the frontpage as a new feature), because the last couple of people I interviewed with started dropping sly references which could only have been obtained thru my convo. I was, in essence, retroactively making fun of the interview I was CURRENTLY IN to their faces.
At that point, I decided Voyeur IM would have to occasionally take on discretion, for the sake of not fucking up my own life. But now, two years after my decision to do PIC full-time, I feel pretty confident that I can go ahead and post the short, follow-up mockery to the interviews.
