Reply #12: I take it with me when I travel. [View All]

Twenty five years ago, when I was a college senior I had an interview with DuPont in WV. I stayed in a hotel the night before a full day of interviewing, but w/o a fan I didn't get to sleep until about 3:00 am. During my last interview of the day, while sitting there in my three-piece suit, I dozed off in the middle of a conversation with a guy. He was telling me something one second, and the next thing I knew, he was sitting there staring at me as if he was waiting for an answer to a question. I didn't get a job offer from DuPont. Ever since I take a fan with me everywhere. If my wife gets up in the middle of the night I never hear her. But if she tries to turn off the fan, I usually wake up after a few minutes.
