Rejected (Help, I'm surrounded by Nuts!)

Bongoo, Raikan and Phoenix are obviously some great nut specimens - each of them are well rounded individuals, highly nutritious and have the highest amount of beneficial monosaturated fats of any nut! Wait a minute... Sorry, I'm reading about the wrong kind of Macadamian Nut.

Although when you think about it, most producers do have quality assurance processes in place to insure that only the finest of their products make it to the consumer. If Macadamian were a nut producer, then Bongoo, Raikan and Phoenix would all have continued their nut journey towards store shelves, whereas I would have landed straight in the Rejects bucket.

Not that I resent having been rejected, since not two days after receiving a disappointing email from Macadamian HR personnel I was offered a Programmer Analyst job in the IT Applications Department here at Mobile Satellite Ventures, so it worked out for the best (seeing as how I was able to keep my seniority and benefits).

So I may be a Reject surrounded by Nuts, but I don't feel like a Reject one bit. The condescending and mocking atmosphere that could have been a theme during our Tuesday "Rockband" Nights is nowhere to be found, and instead you find a group of wannabe RockStars all jamming on plastic controllers shaped like instruments, trying to do their best to improve their score and make it to #1 on the PS3 Charts!

Add to that the odd groupie getting drunk on Martinis behind us and our first #1 song ever, and it makes for a hell of a good time :P

If I recall, we have two regular groupies now.

Things are definetely looking up, although it sometimes feels like there is a peanut gallery behind us, judging our every missed Unison bonus...
