Positive thoughts at 11am Pacific

alright fellas... as some of you know I am a HUGE baseball and SF Giants fan... born and raised in the Bay Area and I go back the 85 season so no bandwaggoning here...

Anyway I've worked for the team for the past 5 years in a very small role... I run the scoreboard on gamedays... basically I have a touch screen and I put all the pitches, outs, hits, runs, etc up on the board... it's very part time... but today at 3pm Pacific Time I am interviewing with the VP of Marketing for a full time marketing and entertainment job... outside of starting pitcher or general manager, this is basically my dream job... I have plenty of experience and am very qualified for the gig, but some good thoughts can't hurt... so if you think of it around 3pm pacific, send some positive thoughts and or prayers in the direction of AT&T park...

I keep thinking of that old commercial when the guy comes into a meeting late and says "sorry I'm late... just had a job interview... NAILED IT!"

    well there is still some uncertainty about the level of the position, so we'll see how it goes... the worst case scenario is still something I'd be interested in doing, so we'll see... but they want someone in place around 2/1 so I'll keep you guys updated...

    Any word on the new position Rob? Getting down to crunch time if they want someone in the chair on 2/1...
