That moment I froze during a job interview at a coffee shop in Austin

I was in the middle of explaining my last project when I completely blanked on the word 'spreadsheet.' Just stood there for like 10 seconds staring at my coffee cup. The interviewer tried to help by guessing 'that chart thing?' and I just nodded like that was what I meant. Somehow I still got a call back the next day. Has anyone else had their brain just quit mid sentence like that?

The number paper" is honestly a power move though... I bet the interviewer was trying so hard not to laugh. @jamienguyen you basically invented a whole new language for grocery receipts. Next time just call it "the math sheet" and really confuse them. Hey, at least you didn't call it "the receipt paper" which is basically the same thing but worse.
