    I wanted to design military vehicles.

    I totally forgot about doing anything like that, but I got an "A" in technical design, so there is hope yet.

    Job interviews are so fun
    Especially when they fly you out to their city for a couple nights and you get to wine and dine on the company tab

    No, my internship ends on Friday and apparently no one wants to hire me. :(
    So this was an internship at Disney? Or did you leave Disney for the internship somewhere else? Because I thought you were a full time employee at Disney.

    It is totally right there on my Facebook, Dru.

    Yeah, it was an internship. A full-time, paid internship. So, it was a job with a deadline.

    So, like... Sheri and Dumb Hero have similarly drawn characters as avatars and their user titles are

    "You know what?... Let's dance."

    Is that on purpose?

    Engineering companies, software companies, we-need-smart-people companies, etc. This is for final-round interviews though.

    Our avatars are similarly drawn because mully drew them both

    And 'You know what? ... Let's dance' is. . . concidence, I guess? I mean, they don't necessarily go hand in hand

    The only thing keeping me from moving out to Seattle right now is a lack of decent jobbage.

    If I can have something lined up I will be on a plane in under a week.

    I wanted to be a truck driver, all exploring the states and struggling through hurricane winds and poppin' amphetamines. And the hookers.

    No, actually I wanted to be a computer programmer all making games.

    The truck driver thing came after I saw a history channel documentary on the Alaskan highway truckers or maybe it was some Canadian truckers driving equipment up to diamond minds. It don't matter.

    None of this matters.
