    Sorry to hear that.

That sucks, but perhaps it is for the best in the long run?

The one in Chi?

 

Yep. 
I asked for feedback and they said I had a great interview, but the top 3 they chose all had 100% direct experience in this particular area. I only had it as a portion of my experience. He said if one of those 3 didn't have 100% direct experience I would have been in the top 3.

So much for being well rounded.

TriAya - 2013-02-11 12:12 PM I just et the PURPLEST yam ever. The flesh was so dark it looked black. That shyte's gotta be good for you.

Ummm I thought yams were supposed to be orange.

I am not a big yam fan.

There are a few hundred different kinds of sweet potatoes/yams in all sorts of crazy colors and skin/flesh color combos.

I like everything but zucchini (unless it's breaded and deep fried, but what isn't good that way?), and I won't eat shark or crocodile.

I have come to enjoy zucchini steamed more and more but you can't steam it too long or it gets mushy, blech!

Don't know about crocodile but gator is pretty good, at least battered and deep fried. 

gator tastes like chicken!

and i LOVE zucchini, favorite way is just make big wedges, coat in EVOO, salt and pepper, and GRILL IT.  YUMMMM

Oooh that sounds good but what is EVOO?

extra virgin olive oil!

As opposed to what: Extra Slutty Olive Oil?

 

That's what Popeye likes with every meal

Just my opinion, but I think fit is many times more important than direct experience.  We just hired a guy because he fit over 2 guys who had way more direct experience.

Agreed, completely.  Fit either is or isn't, but anyone can get experience given some time.

Crap. It's cold again today. I left the gym last night and was going to jump the bus home. It was so nice I decided to walk. This morning I left the second coat at the crib and instantly regretted it. I guess winter isn't over. Yet.

Sorry Bro.  Stupid Groundhog never gets it right.

Since we brought-up weather.  Weather forecast calls for 40% chance of rain at 5:15 when I'm usually riding home and same 40% chance at 5am when I usually ride in. 

A) Suck it up and Ride

B) Wuss out and drive home/in

What's the temperature? I don't mind rain when it's not f-f-f-freezing out. Like this morning, had it been precipitating it would've been a lot worse.

It is bound to lighten during the morning, but rarely does that happen in the evening.

Had it cold enough to hail during a race last April... that sucked, but it wasn't too bad because at least we weren't getting soaked.

mr2tony - 2013-02-11 1:54 PM Crap. It's cold again today. I left the gym last night and was going to jump the bus home. It was so nice I decided to walk. This morning I left the second coat at the crib and instantly regretted it. I guess winter isn't over. Yet.

Sorry Bro.  Stupid Groundhog never gets it right.

Since we brought-up weather.  Weather forecast calls for 40% chance of rain at 5:15 when I'm usually riding home and same 40% chance at 5am when I usually ride in. 

A) Suck it up and Ride

B) Wuss out and drive home/in

C) fill in the blank

C)  That depends on the type of rain you are likely to get, the temps outside and the likelyhood of lightening.

 

 

It is bound to lighten during the morning, but rarely does that happen in the evening.

Yeah here if it is raining there is a good chance for lightening.  Sucks getting caught out in a lightening storm!!
