At least be suspicious of random dudes offering to sell you an I-pad in a McDonald's parking lot.
    It's funny, if it was an actual iPad, it would have likely been stolen anyway. She had no problems with that. Looks like those guys know exactly who to target though. Idiot.

      And we've already discussed this. You CAN'T derail and off-topic thread.



      Me and any math beyond Algebra don't get along. It's weird, I actually do like math but I just stink at it.

        I hate eating at lunch buffets (especially the Indian buffet I go to occasionally). It tastes so good, but I always eat too much and then the rest of the day I'm exhausted because my stomach is bogarting all the energy.

            Don't get me wrong, I totally enjoy the part where I'm eating the delicious food. I hate the next few hours where I feel like a walrus.

                So true with a good Chinese place. When you order take out, they just fill those containers with delicious food. Can't stop.

                  Re: Off Topic 2011

                  Got back from the job interview. Everything went great, they loved me. She even mentioned that they had all but hired someone else until I jumped in the fray. I actually think that is pretty shady. If the position was to go to someone else, then that sucks.

                  Either way though, whatever. She did say that my back is a concern. When she asked if I had any physical limitations I mentioned that my back flares up from time to time. She brought up how there's lifting involved in the job (picking up and hauling of boxes of files, etc) and there's a couple projects here and there. I spoke the entire interview about honesty and trust between leader and worker, so I couldn't just sit there and not mention it. Kept reassuring her that I hadnt had a flareup for years and that it's no big deal though. I'm a terrible liar anyway.

                  Whatever, we'll see. Gotta go back for a second interview with some lady above the one I spoke with today. Was supposed to speak with her today but she was in a conference call or something. Probably some time next week.


                  -------------

                  Regarding Chinese food, I love it but it never fills me up for more than an hour. Went to a lunch buffet for the first time in a long time yesterday actually. Wasn't that good so I didn't eat that much. And omg....Indian buffet? Yikes. I don't think I would be able to even step inside ten feet outside of that place.

                    I haven't eaten Chinese in a long time. I don't really miss it because I love hibachi.

                      Matrix, it kinda sucks that you might take the job away from someone else. As you say that's a bit shady but in these times it's a dog eat dog world so tough luck to that guy but still....

                      As for chinese food I like it quite a bit tho I end up regretting it about 4 hrs later LOL

                        Who cares if you take the job away from someone? That's the whole point of the interview. The shady part is that they told you about it the other candidate for the job.

                          Yeah exactly. Why even mention that they had someone all but hired? To make me feel better or something? I appreciate that honesty, if it is indeed honesty. I guess I had a couple people at the office saying that I needed to be interviewed so that helped I'm sure.

                          Who knows.

I'd love to have NCAA back, but it seems like most of the issues I've read about are from the 360. I don't mind the gameplay bugs here and there, but I can't live with all the reported freezing and stuff so I'm thinking about just picking up Madden and then getting NCAA later when everything is patched up.

                            Thoughts from you guys who have both ?

                            I'm not trying to derail the OT and get on topic, but I just don't feel like fighting the other forums.
                            I always have both games, to me they feel/play differently enough that I can justify have two football games. I have been lucky enough to not experience the freezing issues others have had.

                              Yeah, hibachi is awesome. Only problem is the price. Chinese buffets are much cheaper. The place I go to is $7.50 for a lunch buffet.
