Remember Argo, your chance of actually landing the job increases tremendously if you show up for the interview.

Luckily, the person setting it up sent me an e-mail with the scheduled time written out in black and white. We didn't just chat on the phone and gab about how it might be nice to maybe have an interview someday at sometime
