I don’t exactly have the job yet but I’m practically a shoe-in.
Well “Miss shoe-in” when you do get this job you make sure you remember to pay me back my money. Don’t develop a sudden case of Duckitis because I don’t have a problem coming to your “job” to collect my ducketts.
Duckism is an elegant religion of worshipping the superior entities, the ducks. One must remember only the Duckists will survive the Wrath and the test of time.
To describe your problems to a rubber-duck or other inanimate object. Common in software development, the act of describing your problem (as to a mailing list, friend, or a rubber duck on top of your monitor) often leads to finding the solution just a few moments later. In the mailing list case, rubber ducking would then be to mail the list again saying "Ok, that was dumb, but now I'm stuck on the part where...", then to discover THAT solution immediately after hitting SEND. Repeat, ad lib, fade.
