New Competitive Sport

For sport I've found an endless stream of entertainment:
driving the speed limit in scenarios where people can't pass you.

Snicker. I live by a number of schools, an assisted living residence, and two major roads. This combination is not a good one for those who walk. Granted I'm not walking anywhere these days since it's so cold. BUT I remember how fast people used to drive by. Especially the people who would run stop signs as we'd wait for the school bus.

Now I exact my revenge. You try driving 20 mph in a school zone. Check the rear view mirror. Watch the mounting frustation. Wait until they peel out at high speed at the next available opportunity only to end up next to you. What's the rush?

It's funny, really.

And so I amazed myself with the amount of baloney that just streamed effortlessly from my mouth. Pretty solid overall pre-screen. However, the competition is insane. The hiring dude had a pile of HR approved resumes that reached 250. From that he short listed 35. I was only the 2nd person he interviewed. Kind of interesting. Hiring dude is from NJ - not what you'd expect from the west coast.

Ho hum.

Excitement on the horizon ... a meeting in person tomorrow. (With a different company.) Fingers crossed.
