my poor sql...

What excuse do i go with for my poor sql?

1) i haven't done sql in a year or 2 and i am rusty
2) i made a joke and it was meant to appear ironic
3) it was a test and those who have corrected me have earned my respect
4) i just admit i am stupid and made a prick of myself

i am going for number 4!

select * from option_list where option_list.item_code = 4

I haven't but I might, having witnessed the head of IT of one company repeatedly telling me she wasn't sure if I had any .net experience despite my CV saying I had 8 years asp.net webforms and mvc and winforms with c# experience.

BUT DO YOU KNOW .NET??? WE NEED .NET

They eventually offered me the job on peanut rates (this is a huge international company), said salaries were fixed due to 'bands' and non-negotiable.

I declined. They had done a huge advertising campaign and in 6 months, not a single person had applied. I only applied because I knew someone that worked there.

I thought it was "Could you send for the hall porter? There appears to be a frog in my bidet". Maybe my Esperanto isn't as good as I thought it was though.
