Sushi

Yesterday was a fine, fine day. I spent lunch downing sushi with my pal Shaver. Tuna, salmon and eel. Three words. De. Lisc.Ous. The conversation was good as well.

Bought the new Nooma (nice name for a title by the way) in the afternoon and had a long, long conversation about service and why we do, what we do with a friend. More on that in the coming days.

Started looking over interns for the summer. A little known fact, we don't get nearly as many applications as one might think. And now a couple clues for any who might dream of one day sending in an application: we require a resume, references and a picture. When sending in resume NEVER in the midst of a random paragraph quote (and I quote) "in the words of the great Christian artist Carmen from his song Mission 3:16...." Don't ever, ever, ever quote Carmen and expect me to hire you. To be honest, it was a struggle to love John and Tyler as I do despite their love of Carmen. Bad choice, bad choice.

Speaking of bad choices, the winner of our little internship derby is a story good enough to get our entire staff standing at a computer, completely speechless. His resume was very solid, we were excited. His references were quite nice and then came the picture. Ohhh, the picture. Just another piece of advice: when looking to impress people and earn a job, never submit as your resume picture a shot of you with your underwear on your head. I would show you this picture but I can't. The boy figured it would be a good idea to send a shot with his FTL on the old noggin. Maybe that Carmen quote isn't so bad......

Finally the day was finished off with a delightful evening with my amazing family sans Luke who is on the poop list with me. And yes, we watched Idol. All 2 blessed hours. Including the Hulk's woman and dude who's 6 yr old little brother did all the talking. All in all it was a nice day.
