Google is a few blocks away from my place. Did you see them on 60 minutes?

Each job candidate goes thru 14 interviews. But once your in, your an instant millionaire. On paper at least. And paper millionaires can be old folks working at Micky D's because the lost their retirement in the big crash.

Nobody drives a fancy car at Google. If they do, they get chastized by their fellow employees.

They have 5 star chefs that prepare food types from all over the world, free of course. They don't want the people driving around drinking ritas at Fiesta del Mar, would rather have them stay at the work place 16 hours a day. I see them riding their mountain bikes home at 1 in the morning on my way home from work, red led's blinking away.

Volleyball court (sand of course), tennis, Ski trips, spa, you name it.
We will see how long they last. I saw this type of thing in the 70's pioneered by the Rholm corp. I hear that Big M is gunning for them.
 
One of the founders of Google is from E. Lansing, MI. He went to high school with my wife. She said he was the biggest nerd of all time. Of course, he's now LOADED!

:p

She's stuck with me... no-job having, organ-playing, electronic/computer geek-who-didn't-found-google bum!
 
I don't know, they showed him in a hot tube drinking champagne with his Russian co-founder. So I don't think he would have been interested in your wife anyway. They went to Stanford over here in Palo Alto, doing computer maintainence for the school, when they happened upon their first chunk of cool code.
 
Hey man, my wife is Hottie McHotHot! She was also a cheerleader in high school, which cracks me up because when I was in high school the cheerleaders would not give me the time of day.

I was a bigtime nerd myself, though. Unfortunately I was always more into music than computers and we all know where that leads...


:green:
 
b3groover, I think I've played with you a few times a bunch of years ago, one time I remember in the rain in a tent in Holt. I thought for sure we were going to get electrocuted.
 
"Unfortunately I was always more into music than computers and we all know where that leads... "

Well there's always that gag: "Did you hear about the Polish* jazz musician?"

"He was only in it for the money."

Or, the one about the three guys talking at the bar:

They get into talking about earnings and occupations. The first guy says "I did about 300 thou last year as an accountant." The next guy says "I grossed about 450k as a medical doctor." The third guy says "I made about 20 thousand last year," and one of the other two says "Oh. What kind of strings do you use?"

*my apologies---insert your own generic maligned group here
