What are your general comments?

"I figure it went as well as it could have. It was interesting though that one of the interviewers looked very uninterested in being there, at times he would close his eyes for a good 5 seconds while you were talking to him as if he wasn't paying any attention. The other interviewer was very friendly and nice though. The questions more or less followed that of SDN feedback, the only differences being follow-up questions based on exactly how you answered."
