I spent today travelling to and from the new Toyota truck plant in
Evansville Indiana. This was a one-day first interview with four
engineers in their paint department. Two were Japanese, and two were
Americajin. I don't think I was keeping good eye contact with the
American manager who was asking most of the questions, because it was
over five minutes before I realized he had one greenish-brown eye and
one greenish-blue eye JUST LIKE OSCAR von REUENTAL!! Who else has had a
close encounter of the von Reuental kind?

A note to others on the interview trail, I did not draw any attention to
this peculiar genetic trait; nor did I mention LoGH. Within a second, I
realized that the worst case scenario for this discussion would go along
these lines:
Am Manager: "What is this LoGH show about?"
J Mananger: "My daughter likes it very much. It's a bishonen cartoon
show; how you say, pretty boys show."
Am Manager: "Oh, you don't say."
With that, there goes a job that would land you in Japan for several
months of training.
