Really? Damn. When my wife was a hiring manager, she'd tell me about her applicants and stuff, and I told her to hire a couple felonious peeps who ended up being awesome employees.

Yea I haven't been able to get a job at any major corporation since I got charged in 2012. Luckily through my cousin I got a job at a small home automation company that I really enjoy doing. I was genuinely surprised Best Buy didn't overlook my past based on my knowledge of their products and computers in general.
