Two interviews to ride to in one day.

It's been a ride-tacular day so far, and it looks like it's just going to keep getting better. This morning I rode to meet with a recruiter. It was cool because I got to ride through some of my favorite parts of downtown Phoenix. There are a couple of cool strips in downtown Phoenix with lots of green trees and shrubberies. It's very nice.

For those of you who don't live in the desert, "green" isn't exactly a common color around here. As such, Lady Luck and I go out of our way to see greenery on occasion.

The meeting with the recruiter was amusing. She took me into a closet-sized meeting room, and we went through the usual battery of questions (greatest strength: bitchin' motorcycle; greatest weakness: pizza), and I was amazed at just how strongly I smelled of exhaust. Frankly, I was relieved because someone who had been in that room before us had been wearing enough perfume to permanently alter the closet-odor.

This afternoon I've got another interview in a less-scenic, but still worthy, part of town. I'm not quite as excited about that one, as it's going to be hot out by the time I head that way. It should be ok as long as I don't have to sit in too much stop and go traffic. The heat doesn't bother me, but arriving at an interview all sweaty does. Note to self: get lightweight undershirts for interviews.

Anyway, it's shaping up to be a fun day. So, if you'll excuse me, I need to get on with the fun.
