Sorry Buzzman I don't agree with you--the lady was most likely testing you. She wanted to see what you answer when asked the question.
You answer told her way more then you might think. Mainly that you have an attitude and have to be managed (handled with kidd gloves). Doesn't matter what your skills are if you're going to light up at the slightest provocation.
I'm 68 and have seen a lot--almost said about everything but that wouldn't be honest. About 5 years ago I was interviewed for a particular job and after listening to the project manager describe what they were I asked what the device was supposed to do--they were trying to figure that out. Uhmmm nad they had already bought stuff and were in testing? Turned the job down. One month later the Homeland Security Program Manager called for anothr interview--face to face--I asked why she called. She had read my resume and was impressed and after going over some of the items in the resume (She just didn't believe I could have done those things) she asked if I would take the position. I carefully explained that when you start buying/building equipment BEFORE you know what it supposed to do you really are hiring someone to blame and I am not anyone's fall guy. One year later I read in the paper that the whole project has been shut down for performance failure and massive cost overruns.

My point never light up be nice and explain your position. You never know what may come of that discussion.

There is no known history regarding its origins or what service it had done, but the following work was undertaken alone to bring it up to show standard.
