When you meet someone who blows you away!
Posted: 2003-11-04 03:35pm
You ever met someone, regardless of gender, who just absolutely blows you away, and you walk away thinking, "Holy Shit"? I just met one.
I was interviewing her - I can't reveal her name or particulars of course, but I will tell you that she has completed degrees in biology and mathematics, and has taken electives in computer programming, psychobiology, music history, and more than one in physics. Her practical and theoretical knowledge of immunology, virology, mathematical biology, and biochemistry was excellent. She was on the school's fencing team, and participates in regular charities.
It's funny, thinking about it - I wouldn't say I was attracted to her, even though she was obviously intelligent, charming, and pretty. It's just the feeling one gets when they meet someone to whom, in different circumstances, they would have aspired to emulate. Or more precisely, it's perhaps that her skill set, educational background, and some other traits closely matches my own (although she's a reasonable number of years my junior).
But she was indeed compellingly interesting. When conducting an interview, it's not *always* easy to pick out the ones who are going to go far, who are going to be worth the money it takes to hire them, or who seem marked for success. But you do meet someone every so often that you cannot HELP but notice is a first-round draft pick in any crowd.
And yes, she was pretty by any standards you judge her against. 5'9, lissome, brunette. I'll wager single straight guys would definately form a queue if they could.
