Dang it. Finally hear back from this company after a month long background check and I don't get the job. No reason given in the automated email. Wish they'd have rejected me sooner. I thought I would get it after the initial conversations went so well.

Which company?

Oh, so that is why some company was asking me about you.

I guess I shoud have said more good things.

You should have put this thread as a reference. ;)

That could have kept them busy for a whole year! :eek:

Max, I will be in Monterrey next year for Porsche Parade. We will need to get together for dinner one night. I would offer to buy you a beer but that is about offering to buy you (or myself) a Cigar.

I will need to set up a meeting with a bunch of the California Pelicans. We have almost a year to plan it. :D

porsche4life 08-21-2013 01:03 PM

Hopefully I can make it to Monterrey next year too Glen!!!

Flieger 08-21-2013 01:04 PM

Monterrey = Mexico

Monterey = California

;)

They are quite a ways apart, but Spanish will get you by in either one.

GH85Carrera 08-21-2013 01:06 PM

I just looked it up. Parade will be June 15th - 21st for 2014.

In 2015 it is in French Lick Indiana June 21 -27.

GH85Carrera 08-21-2013 01:07 PM

I ain't going to Mexico for any anything. It is in the cheap part of the state ;) of California.

Have you been there before? I certainly don't think it is cheap! :eek:

GH85Carrera 08-21-2013 01:27 PM

Oh, yea. We have been there. Nothing cheap about that place. It is like calling the Hurst castle a nice fixer-upper.

I was curious about the distance. Google Earth pegs it at 1,575 miles total. The instructions are easy. Drive West on I-40 for 1,202 miles then merge with I-15 at Barstow.

You should take Hwy 1 / Pacific Coast Highway. Although, I always go the 101 route.

Wow. You have to keep it a secret that you even applied for a job there? Area 51? The sound stage where they fake the Mars Rover stuff? The Bat Cave?

GH85Carrera 08-21-2013 02:09 PM

Several years ago I was chatting with a friend and we were talking about commuting to work. He mentioned his daughter flew to work every day. I asked if she lived in Las Vegas and he said yes. So I said Oh, she must be an Area 51 employee. He said I can't verify that and changed the subject.

RKDinOKC 08-21-2013 02:22 PM

She was probably an extra-terrestrial beautician.

GH85Carrera 08-21-2013 02:34 PM

The guy I was talking to was a nice mild mannered guy. We were at his house and noticed some certificated on the wall. He was a retired Army Ranger. He was even the instructor for several years. I was impressed.

Apparently Rennsport Reunion 5 will be at Laguna Seca in 2015 instead of 2014 because of the Parade. I guess the Parade is using an unlimited sound day for a club race or autocross.

Rick V 08-21-2013 02:41 PM

Evening Y'all.
Well it is indeed hump day bit when you haven't worked for almost three weeks, does it really matter? It's always sat in Rickies world
