In reply to woofwoofarf. Huh. 5 years, and I've never heard that ;) They've been holding out on those of us here in the East Park boonies ;)

As I said in the begining, I’ve actually met Walter from the team from Park Ridge, the Bransens (When I was working AT&T installing cable modems). I didn’t actually talk with him much, or hang out or anything, but I’m rooting for them, Walter’s a nice guy.
The Florida team, the good christians will understand if they loose, it’s all God’s will. *pffffffffft* Right!

In reply to roho. Oops. Sorry, I thought that was common terminology. Taj Mahal = AP6 :-)

In reply to woofwoofarf. Taj Mahal? I'm not even familiar with that place, but the name sounds promising! Only Indian food I've had in the area was up in Gurnee, and while it was quite tasty, it lacked samosas and pakoras!

In reply to roho. Heh. Everyone says we should go over to the Taj Mahal for lunch. "They get real potatoes - we get stuff from a box!"

In reply to altivo. Fortunately, no. I'm technically a contractor, and while there might be a slight fee to Manpower involved in hiring me on full-time, I think the amount isn't enough to actively make them seek other candidates.

I’ve et the shrimp salad. It stands a decent chance of not killing you 😉 I also recommend ganking a piece of the pumpkin cheesecake!

I hope you don’t have one of those situations where it costs them a whole lot more to hire you because they already have you as a temp, so they’ll only consider others. I’ve been in that situation, and it’s irritating as… horseflies.
