In a gesture of semi-perverse hope, BestBuy's Geek Squad has created a template for absentee excuse notes for work and school for use on/regarding May 19, 2005.
When I interviewed for this job, I included writing samples - one of which was a press release I'd created for a Star Trek club. Jeff read it through from beginning to end then started talking about trek. Turned out that the week before he started working here there was a TNG marathon on some cable channel. He spent the entire week glued to the tube. *g*
We talked at least five minutes about trek. I found out later from the agency that sent me there that mine was the longest interview they'd arranged. I wouldn't be surprised if having trek in common was the determining factor for me getting the job.
