occasionally, this day job thing doesn't suck.

Just got an e-mail saying that the usual Monday morning staff meeting has been moved to a nearby hotel lounge so that we can watch the NASCAR driver we sponsor finish up an important, rain-delayed race.

(eat your heart out, dgkgoldberg!)

Mind you, this is going to throw schedules off company-wide. Including mine. But it's still pretty cool.


(update: poor boy had a bit of a fender bender. Okay, he got opened up like a tin can. So much for that race.... Many folk are watching the end of the race anyway, but I figured it made more sense to get back to work. Such a good child I am.)

When did I miss that you had a day job...again? Or am I totally confuzzed? Again.

[lagilman]

Sorry, I thought I'd posted on that. I started a couple of weeks ago, right after getting back from St. Martin. It's a long-term project-job, working for the CEO and COO of a rapidly-growing company to put together a book project and general writer-about-the-office. My official title is "Science Writer," which amuses me greatly.

This, plus the info about sponsoring a NASCAR driver, should be enough to give people the name of the company...

it ought to be a rough race, track emperature way too cool and the monster mile sometimes can look like Bristol on steriods --- that said, isn't ya'll's driver Stremme?

not really --- there are over three hundred companies that sponser drivers in the 3 premier leagues, (this leaves out the secondary leagues who also have sponsers)

however, since the only rain delay race running today that would be televised would be the bush race from saturday at dover but that still doesn't limit it --- i can think of several companies that it could be . . .
but i think you told me earlier and i was just confirming that it was the 332 dodge

Yep, that's us.

no it does NOT make sense to get back to work --- he was 15th in the points going into this and your NEED to know where he ends up vis a vie the BGN points.

he's back out riding around for points 84 laps down

[lagilman]

Yeah, we're getting play-by-plays here. Or lap-by-laps. Astonishing -- from the look of that damn car when he went off-track, you'd never have thought it.
