No way I could pronounce most of those names. I would have to comment in the following fashion...

"Polish number 5 passes to number 8! Number 8 drives, passes the Greek number 12, 8 shoots! OH! Just off the post. The score stands at 2 - 1, 10 minutes 23 seconds into the 2nd half. Today's game brought to you by 3M."

I'm sure that no one would get confused. $Shucks | :-\$ Kudos to any commentator who gets through a game without butchering someone's name.

I do some work for a couple of hours and this place becomes very silly indeed.

I obviously can't risk doing something like that again.

I think we should replace the Lounge with a cardboard cut-out for the weekend, see if anyone notices.

I passed the phone interview. I passed the in office interview. The CEO took me to lunch and told me he would definately be making me an offer based on my interview, and that I would receive it in a couple of days.

So now I'm checking my email every 5 minutes since Wed. afternoon. D'Oh! | :doh:

Is that related to your previous paragraph or something?

pfft. Yes.

He told me that one Wednesday at lunch. I've been not-so-patiently waiting since.

Since it is Friday, I would stop checking your email. Friday is the traditional day of job rejection (and lay-offs). That way, even though you have a crappy weekend, you also have the weekend to "cool off" if you get pissed since no one will be in the office.

On the other hand, if they do offer today, you can party all weekend.

I imagine it also makes it easier to do the payroll. Which is good during a layoff, as they may have less people left to do the payrolls... Poke tongue | ;-P

Patience, Grasshopper. The last time I went through that process, along with the same assurance that an offer was definitely coming my way, it was in July. The offer arrived in December; it took that long to get the offer signed by all the levels of management required... Sigh | :sigh:

This is the first time I am actually going through the process. I just got hired off referral at this job. I didn't answer any tech questions or do any code at all. They just hired me part time at first, to evaluate me.

We have someone here in that position, they didn't have an official position available but they wanted to hire him so he's part-time for now. I think he's considered an intern actually. (Not me, I am an intern but I work full-time.)
