    Wow! You must have a very different life than me. I don't watch much (or so I think) but I do enjoy watching about one hour per day (give or take). The balance of time is cleaning, cooking, things with kids, appointments, reading, and writing.

    That's awesome, both of you. I wish my TV watching rate was nearly as low. It is getting better but I still find myself turning that stupid thing on when I'm bored a lot. I would like to limit it to new episodes of the handful of shows I truly like and sporting events. Eventually

    I recently spent bought a dvr thing to go with my new tele, you know one that records, pauses and that kind of thing, never had one before. Used it for hours a day for the first few weeks, now hard drive is chocked full of stuff on it and I've not switched it on for a week or two. I've found myself only using the little tele (32") in the bedroom when I wake up to watch the news, Aussie Open final was on this morning when I switched on so I watched Andy Murray get beat. Tv box thing doesn't have any ongoing costs (from the bit I've read on American boxes they all seem to have some horrendous monthly costs similar to UK boxes from Sky) so at least I didn't feel that I have to watch it to get my money's worth.

    It's not that there's nothing I want to watch recorded on it, there's tons, it's just I would rather use my Freetime on reading, walking the dog, mucking about online with iPad or gaming, leaves no time whatsoever for watching much tele, I can't imagine how anyone with kids can find the time to follow their favourite tv shows.

    When the site was designed, "titles" were assigned for different post counts.
    Guess what post count generates the title "John Cusack"?

    I'm stumped on that one as well RF. I'm not a huge fan of his (I like him fine; it's just I've only seen him in less than a handful of movies. Enjoyed 1408 ).

    Literally L-O-Led at your comment Sir_Boomme. Well, that's better than wanting to pull it.

    I probably should have prefaced by saying I had not read the story yet, I was pretty young, and it was in theaters. Meh, w/e.

    (Sorry, but the funny part was that you get the title "John Cusack" at post #1408.)

    Question: how many questions should the person being interviewed ask the panel of people doing the interview? I've been asked this, and wanted others opinions.

    I would say the 3-5 range (varying slightly to correspond to how many questions the panel asked): Enough to know the candidate has done his or her homework and is generally interested, but not some much to drone on and/or make it tedious. I think quality is much more important than quantity.

    Glad to provide some entertainment with my folly for ya Merl!

    Been a member here since May 2007 ... and this is ...finally...my 1500 post.

    now, what do I get?

    hopefully a new moniker... it's been so stressful maintaining that "Demon of the Prim" image for so damned long.

    Even for a president? And said bodily fluids belong to Marilyn Monroe?

    *Of course my moniker changes when I try to use it in a joke.

I was recently informed I had passed the test, and was offered an interview ! I will be flying down to NC again this Monday the 28th, have a panel type interview at 9am on the 29th. I am told that so long as I don't bomb the interview I should expect an offer.......so I am confident I will do fine in the interview, interviews do not makeme nervous. So I am expecting to be offered this job and as long as the pay and benefits offered are what I am expecting, then I will be packing up the family and moving to NC. Will be a lot of work, have 2 houses to sell in MD, 4 kids worth of stuff to move along with the wife and mines. Not to mention the most important things I own...my King books ! that and my full restored 1972 Nova big block ! So the new house certainly needs a garage and an office that will hold some nice book cases....new book cases are going to my gift to myself if I land this job, that and an expensive book or 2.
    Thanks for the good wishes, about to head off to the airport now...was double checking my flights to make sure theyare on time etc... due to the weather..just noticed my first flight number is 1919...seems like a good sign to me !

    Thank you Uncle Stevie for keeping me away from the computer at 2am after a particularly bad revelation last night. Thankfully one of your books saved me from airing my dirty laundry to the world in moment of frustration and anger. I so love his books.
