Hmmm, short commute and you could do google jingles as well.

Hmm... It might be worth the commute to work for Google.

Applied!

Tom, you want a roomie? :)

Right now it appears all the jobs are for ad sales...

Becaus eif Google needs ANYTHING it more ads and sponsors!!! Maybe we can swing a deal with China...we won't bitch about them cesoring google in their country, if they will force them to censor out the ads and sponsors in ours...

The entire center is gonna be for AdWords, apparently. On the other hand, average starting pay is about $47K.

Hopefully Google is hiring CUSTOMER SERVICE positions for AdWords. Gee, that'd be nice.

Cringly has some lovely things to say about their customer service, or the lack thereof: http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20060601.html

"I don't know if there's a cooler company in America than Google"

and I don't know if there's a cooler guy to work for them than Tom! Well, the pay could be better but on the other hand, I'm not sure how well the full-time musician thing is keeping you afloat. Just being meddlesome here, ignore me if you want.

Dude, Google refused to turn their records over to BushCo when all the "cool" companies were doing it!

You practically OWE them!

Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt you to have a steady income...

The trick to Google is getting in, which is easier said than done.
