Some of the old members remember my old avatar which was a variant of the swastika I created myself.
I've always found the shape to be mesmerizing going back to when I was barely able to write, my brother caught me drawing swastikas all over a paper and told me that I shouldn't draw them because they're "bad" symbol. What did I know? I saw them in the Indiana Jones movies.
So I'm prepping for this interview today when I grabbed my note pad and noticed I had drawn a little swastika up at the top, probably when I was thinking or talking on the phone. And because I have a tendency to draw them pretty often when I'm distracted, I looked through the notepad to scribble out anymore I may have drawn. Way too many, especially considering it's something another person may see. I stop myself sometimes, and the result is I have a bunch of "+'s" all over the corner of a paper.
In fact during one interview, while I was flipping through another note pad looking for questions I had written, (while the woman was watching me flip) I opened up to a page riddled with them.
YIKES!
I don't have a problem with interviews but after I passed that page, my hand started shaking and I started stuttering because that's not exactly something you want to show a potential equal opportunity employer!
