2007-03-18 Fair Babes

Why are there so many beautiful women at fairs? Asking questions like this makes me look naive, I know. But I can't help wondering: is the most efficient way of selling to use two long legs? Is it really that simple? Really? Wow.
Today, my parents and I visited the Invest, a trade fair in Stuttgart, about 130 kilometers away from my parents place. Of course, I didn't go there for the "Messe Babes" (translates to fair babes, I think). This might sound somewhat like "I buy Playboy to read the the articles", but I actually wanted to learn something about stock trading. And I did learn quite a lot. I also got seven brand new ballpoint pens, two bars of chocolate, two keyring pendants and three of those fluffy ball thingies you can squeeze when you're angry. I am so going to take them to my office tomorrow.

I was just about to write that I intend to speculate in stocks and become a very rich man eventually, when I checked my mails. And what did I see? I got an answer to my second job application. That was quick! They said they usually don't accept applications from people who don't have the right to work in New Zealand (yet), but this particular position is rather difficult to fill, so they want me to fill out a form. Yikes. Four pages about the programming languages I know, hardware I have worked with and stuff I have never heard before in my entire life. I'm going to do this right after I finished today's blog. Not that I think they will like what they see, but I'm not willing to pass up an opportunity!
