    Sorry man, that's a bummer. I like to think of it as the universe saying that it wasn't the right one for me (you). Keep your head up!

    I actually feel completely like that. I would have felt guilty taking it and putting a ton of responsibility and stress on my wife and financially. There is another opening coming up next year, with one of my friends (dual teachers), so it would be a fun class to work in.

    I interviewed for a Chef Manager postion at Google a number of years back. I completely messed up the cooking demo part and made food way beneith me. It was pretty embarrassing to say the least. I was pretty pissed at myself at the time but later I realized I'd dodged a bullet. I would be working a boat load more and taken a 15% pay cut. I maintained my quality of life.

    Can confirm the pimpness of the explorer. The AC blowing through the seat perforations it's a nice feature. Completely eliminates swamp ass.

    The dimensions are perfect for a 6 foot bed you just have to cut out the wheel wells and d ring locations.
