I found this job posting today for the Housing Authority of the County of Monterey.

I am curious what the “wriggle room” is on salary negotiations.

I may really need that last 5/1000’s of a penny :)

I always wanted to know all the combinations of what my phone number spelled out….now you can with What does your phone number spell?.

It reminds me of when I was a kid, and called people up and said, “Did you know your phone number spells <insert word here>”…then my sister would call them back and apologize about how her little brother was being a brat, and that she was sorry for bother them.

I guess we were pretty bored at times growing up.

I was reluctant to use my area code…I don’t know what database these are going into.

The best one it came up with was “65-NAGS-3″. The other ones were “656-BIRD”, and “6-JOB-4-RE” which is ironic, because as of next week I will no longer work in the release engineering team at my company (ok, maybe that’s a stretch as to any correlation what so ever).

There’s a similar site at phonespell.org which returned “OK-6-BIRD”…much better. “OK-MA-IS-3″ was another one, I’ll have to mention that to my ma.
