Title: Best Xmas Evar!
Post by: Walfredo on December 22, 2008, 07:24:21 AM
From my most favorite in-laws in the whole world...

Got the Panasonic TH-50PX80U from Sears for 899.99.   [sm_headbang] [sm_eekdance]  My Dad and Uncle are helping me mod my cabinets for install today.  Direct tv is installing my HD satelite next week.  Going to get a Blow Ray  player after xmas day hopefully on sale.  Best present evar.  Much better than the big wheel. 

Also, just found out I got the new job.  I'm about to be an Internal Auditor at my company.  Got the job without an accounting degree or a cpa so I'm pretty stoked.  Just told the hiring manager I'm really interested in the job, and he gave me an interview.  Then I knocked it out of the park and got the job.  Woot!  Highlight from the interview. 

Interviewer:  Do you like to work within the box or outside it?

Me:  (thinking the box question really)  I want to CREATE the box.

Interviewer:  (with a surprise look)  That is brilliant. 

Me:  Thank you

I'll start the first of January.

That's an example of a good interview response. Here's an example of a bad one:

Congrats on your new job!

(from a former intern I've just learned that the 'monogrammed hand towels' is now the subject of discussion in the Harvard MBA program....I mean, we're to human resources what widgets are to manufacturing)
