Me: *boards plane, checks email*

Them: “Due to coronavirus, we are changing your interview to virtual.”

Me: 

Good thing I brought my laptop!

Do the interview from the space needle. If webcams are involved, they'll realize you're already in Seattle when they see the WaMu tower pass by (the needle has a revolving restaurant).

A good introduction into PNW culture: physical and emotional distance.

I’m sitting in SeaTac right now. Everything is fine. Everything is fine, nothing to see here. But the plane was  about 30% capacity for my flight from San Jose to Seattle. I’m like legit corona virus carrier by now.

I’m flying to California from Seattle  this weekend...are people going to treat me like I have the plague?

Good luck!  I have a tentative trip to Las Vegas for fun in a week and a half.  I haven't booked a flight, still waiting to see if the Corona virus will score me a cheap flight.  Does that make me evil?

I would definitely wear one of those loose fitting paper masks for the virtual interview.

Good luck - at least all the normal tourist destinations won’t be busy if you have a little spare time...

Well... yes there were three of us from the PNW and we were given a wide birth.

Brilliant. Or the Starbucks headquarters. Or if you want to go full-creepy, their reception area.

I will pay you $500 if you do the entire interview in a full hazmat suit. Must be recorded for proof. lol

Unfortunately, I can’t drink much these days (thanks A-fib). I’m also spending the rest of the trip looking at homes in the Redmond/Kirkland/Sammamish areas. But I do appreciate the offer!

Think you’ve got it in the bag?

I guess. I’m trying not to think about it. Interviewing in tech is brutal, so I’m just going through the process, continue prepping and keeping expectations low.
