I didn't get a message. Did you send it by mail?

No I posted it here...

Here is a copy of it. Talk about sweet irony...
---------------------------------
Hey everyone,

This message mainly applies to the Microsoft guys that watch these groups,
but if anyone else has heard this please let me know...

So here is the story... I have a really bad answering machine. and
yesterday I receive a phone call from a Brian Pristna or Prishna or
something, it was hard to make out... Anyways the jist of the message was
"My name is Brian Pristna (hard to tell) from Microsoft Corporation and I
was calling actually to talk with you about a few opport..." and then the
machine cuts off.

Talk about sweet irony... The one tech company that I've wanted to work for
since I was like 9 finally gives me a shot (I think..) and cheap technology
prevents it from happening.

So, if anyone has heard of this guy, or knows who I would call to find out
who he is would be much appreciated. Or if this is a hoax, I've been the
victim of a very sick joke... =)

Thanks again,
CJ

Heh, I know this... But try to imagine the situation.

You've had a long day at work... so long it makes you start questioning
work. You've wanted to work for this company since you were 9 years old
(cmon, I'm a pup, we all know that) calls and leaves a message on your home
phone.

Microsoft has no reason to call me on my home phone... None...

unless................

either A) I was being sued for something.. but I haven't done anything wrong
(except give them most of mymoney this year).

b) Possible job prospect?

And the machine gets cut off... So the sweet irony is, I may have had my
chance, but I may never know... =)
