  • heh - that reminds me of when Jen and I were at Manly Beach in Sydney, Australia. There was a chocolate shop with a gimmick going on on the sidewalk out front. A naked woman was sitting in a bathtub full of liquid chocolate, handing out strawberries she dipped in the chocolate. I couldn't eat one - it creeped me out. As I recall, she was dipping the berries in a bowl of chocolate, but I still couldn't get over the idea that that bowl of chocolate may have come from the tub she's sitting in.
    The only thing missing from that Marvin Jones touchdown reversal is that it wasn't a first round playoff game.

    • You're just saying that because Jen might read it. :p

      This week I started doing contract work at a really low rate. No chance of ever being hired in, no benefits, etc. Wasn't exactly jumping for joy over this. Tuesday I had a phone interview and today I had a face-to-face interview for a job that pays almost what I was getting before.

      During the interview the hiring manager asked me what the definition of success was and after I answered he paused for an uncomfortable amount of time. Then he said
      , "That's the best answer I've ever heard." :D

      Great company, people seem very nice and the environment is exactly what I'm looking for in a workplace. I have a streak of getting jobs once I get an interview so I'm expecting when they make their pick next week I'll get an offer.

                              • I was wondering the EXACT same thing, G. And I find myself pondering my own answer.
