Connor Tumbleson

Yep, exactly. So I think I opened it around noon, and the interview was at 4 or 4.30. So it was a pretty quick turnaround on all this.

And it, of course, had the Zoom link and the time and the company and the meeting. And I was like, oh, this is crazy. I'm going to use this for sure. So then I join it. But I actually joined the interview about five minutes before it starts. And I'm just kind of sitting in a Zoom channel. You know, it's the Zoom waiting room. I can't really talk to anyone yet. I'm stuck there.

And my fear is I'm sitting in this meeting and someone isn't enjoying before me like another person. And then I'm stuck in kind of a debate. But thankfully, the interviewer, he shows up early and adds me. And we both jump on video, kind of sitting in the same spot I am now.

And I say, hey, before we jump into interviews, you're not going to believe anything I'm going to tell you, so I'm going to go really quick. And I just proceed to tell this guy, and I think I just spew it out as quick as I can, of saying, like, I didn't apply for this job, but I am indeed the person that you have all the documentation for. And he starts getting really confused here, trying to not

him. And I'm trying to explain, no, this is legitimate. I'm the real Connor, but I did not apply for this job. And he starts joking with me, well, your resume is really good. We were hoping this was a real interview. And while we're talking, I'm trying to explain what happened from my perspective, that I got an email. I'm asking him, can you share from your perspective who applied for the job?

And while we're talking about this, because he lets me know that it was on Upwork, that my fake self applied for the job. Then he tells me that there's another Connor Tumbleson in the waiting room. And at this point, I'm kind of freaking out a bit because now another fake Connor has decided to join the call and he's trapped in the meeting room.

And this interview guy, he goes, hey, why don't you change your name, turn off your camera and just sit in this call? And I was like, holy cow, that is amazing. It was your idea. I love it. I want to sit here and figure out what's going on. So I change my name, you know, I turn off my Zoom camera and I'm sitting in the call when he admits another Connor Tumbleson.

And this is where the story goes even crazier is I then sit in a call and listen to a guy with kind of this accent that I can't place. I think I can safely say it's probably not American, but I don't know where. And this guy then proceeds to say that he's Connor Tumbleson.

And not only that, he starts reading off all my accomplishes, even says his GitHub address, which is odd because I haven't changed my alias online alias in like 20 years. So Ibotpeaches everywhere is me. So to hear someone say that, it was just extremely upsetting. And I'm just sitting in this call, listening to this guy proceed to just list things.

I can tell he's reading the sheet word for word that I'm looking at.
