me: yea I can work under pressure

clearly having extreme anxiety from the pressure of the job interview

“I go scuba diving all the time, I will be fine.”

“We’re looking for a new kind of human being who thrives under stress, but doesn’t crave it enough to unnecessarily create more of it…”

Oh yeah I can work under pressure

Wait, you don’t mean with the song playing in the background?

Them: Can you perform under pressure?

Me: Mmm num ba de
Dum bum ba be
Doo buh dum ba beh beh
