Orangina

Google just started stocking Orangina in the drink coolers this week, I'm psyched. It's not juice, and it's not orange soda...it's just...Orangina. It's its own entity. I love this stuff.

Hell yes it does. 12 percent juice, 2 percent pulp, 100 percent goodness!

Boss man left me up in the air about saying he needed to think more after our second talk which was a good long one. Now he's out all this week so I just keep coming in and I'll come in again Monday. I have a sinking suspicion next week is my last week...so I'm job hunting during downtime at work.

OMR, I hear Google is negotiating with cities nation-wide about buying up old dark-fiber networks to start their own high-speed network that will span the whole country. What kinda dirt can you give us on this?

You don't remember the big Google IPO launch back in '04? As of right now, Google is worth 108.4 Billion USD (2-22-06).
It takes more than a few people just to manage that money...let alone operate the site.

I got the job through a temp agency. It was supposed to be for 2 weeks. It's been 4 and a half months. I may be leaving the job in a couple of weeks unfortunately.

Anyways, Orangina is near orgasmic. Haven't had one in years.

I drank the stuff in France years ago and loved it, but never found it again in the states. I went to Germany last summer, and the first order of business was to track down a bottle of it again. Honestly it wasn't as good as I remembered, like a little too sour. But I only drank it once in Germany, it was way expensive, so maybe I needed more time to acquire the taste again. I did, however, keep the bottle and make a bong out of it.
