Awesome and congrats, man!

Thanks. I just hope the chef doesn't turn out to be Gordon Ramsey.

If there's one thing Gordon Ramsey doesn't hate, it's perfection.

"Hi, I'm Gordon Ramsey, and the producers of this show told me to treat your food the way Simon Cowell would treat an American Idol contestant!"

Congrats on the new job!

Obama did it!

I am close to changing careers. Obama helped me, too!

I need a new job. Can Obama help? Or Gordon Ramsey, I'm not fussy.

Congrats DHP, top work! So can we expect some more additions to the culinary thread from you in the near future?

***yawn***

Hey congrats there Dalty! Started a new job myself last week, so yeah Hicky Obama helped me too. Of course, John Boehner opposed the legislation that created my new job so I guess I can be thankful his party isn't in charge, lol.

Wrong poster beginning with 'D' there! DHP got the new job. I, unfortunately, didn't.

What's your new job Kaeos?

Heya, DHP,, congrats! Now get your bitch-ass in the kitchen and make me some pie!

I ate there about a month ago. This guy makes terrific Yorkshire puddings to go with a prime rib roast. Will post recipe ASAP!

Congratulations on the new jobs guys!

mmmmm pudding

Truth be told I have 2 jobs, both new. By Day I am a mild mannered telephone account manager for a major retailer, by Night I am a financial advisor specializing in life insurance and retirement plans.

So you're a telemarketer. Did they train you with a Hindi accent first?

You ain't tasted mine yet sunshine!!! I like to make HUGE Yorkshire puds that a serving of Sunday roast can fit inside. If I am making beef gravy then I infuse it with red wine and just a touch of mustard to pour over.

Not a telemarketer, no. I've always avoided that stuff. The people I call are existing customers under contract. I work with individual locations to make sure they have what they need. I don't sell anything. On the "financial side" I work with a local firm here in western ny and we cater to specific communities.

Telemarketer indeed LOL

I'm going to try to get hired by Tiger Woods to be a professional "splitter upper."

You mean a Wacky-Arse-Arse-Sayer ?

Oh, of course. also, I've been hired by both Jack and Sawyer to deal with Kate.

ANd Happy Birthday, Potter!

Well, I just finished my first day. I'm beat. What a fast-paced job!

But good people, good boss, lots of free food to nibble on, and the boss broke out a big bottle of wine at closing time for the employees!

Nice! So it is a knackering as it looks?

I love cooking..... for about 6 people at a time round my house for dinner. Not sure how I would fare in a proper kitchen. All this "On order table 12, 3 covers, 2 chicken, 1 beef" and then having to remember that and do the timings for 50 covers at once and I fear I wouldn't stand a chance.

3rd interview with my potential new employer on Monday. This one is going to be the deal maker.

Change in career and new learning curve? Yes. 40% increase in pay? YES.

Has anyone else ever said "ass" in an interview before? I sure did.

I read that as "3-d interview," Hicks.

I once wore my pajamas to a job interview.

The interview was for a Resident Assistant (dorm supervisor) position at the University of Alabama. The interviews were being held downstairs in my dorm, and I wanted to make absolutely sure I wouldn't get the job. (I promised my mother I would apply and go to the interview, so I did.) The pajamas happened on a callback. The first time they interviewed me, I wore a t-shirt/jeans combo. I gave them all the wrong answers to all their questions, and I gave them those answers with the conviction of a person who believes that what he is saying is right and good.

They must have been desperate to call me in for a second interview. I also wore a half-eaten apple on a chain around my neck. When asked why I was wearing the apple, I said it was "an expression of the futility of man's struggle against the Postlapsarian condition."

I was a real asshole during that second interview. I suppose I could be pressed to admit I have come to regret my behavior during it.
