Here's what he orders:
A single patty cheeseburger
fried onions
lettuce
tomato
pickles
barbeque sauce
In my memoir the sandwich has a late night conversation with the president where it helps him solve national issues, offering sage advice on foreign policy, and discussing the detriments of high cholesterol and closing Guantanamo. The president will think it was all indigestion, but the world will know "Cowpatty" was the most influential slab of processed dead meat the president ever conversed with.
I’m planning to ask for movie rights.

I was one too(OAX y GTO), until circumstances dragged me back to the states. I'll "retire" to Mex a couple of more times before 65.

I liked living in El Paso because it was such an easy stroll to Juarez. Ah, Waa-zoo, which is, I see in the news today, the most homicidal city on earth. I think that includes Baghdad and maybe even Detroit.
There is speculation La Republica may become a failed state, and all because of the rush to provide sauce for the nostrils of high school dropouts like Lins.

Tossing McDonnell is perhaps the best example of how this would save the industry.

Under Terry's editorship, Esquire was an ASME finalist SEVEN times. Just try comparing Esquire's (well-documented recently by DiGiacomo in VF) pathetic fiction to the work Terry accomplished back then.
@Immaculate:
1) Jann promoted Terry because he earned that ME position.
2) "Personal habits"? You're actually chastising someone who worked at Rolling Stone under Wenner in the early 80s for having fun?
3) Jann and Terry, to this day, are close friends. If Terry stole anything from Jann, it was a series of classic Hunter S. Thompson anecdotes due to the fact that HST adored Terry and wasn't so fond of Jann.
4) Nick writes his own novels. Terry is (and will proudly admit it) an editor, not a writer. And an effing legendary one, who works seven days a week, has completely revived si.com (who do you think oversaw the CNN partnership?), and most importantly, a gentleman.
Jealousy doesn't justify idiotic, ignorant bashing of someone you clearly know nothing about.

This is not to say that bad execs and good execs have no effect on engineers, because they do -- particularly the bad ones, who can very easily spoil a development environment. But the factors that determine a "good" or "bad" exec from an engineer's point of view are frequently not the same as the factors that cause the business press to draw conclusions about their quality.
So what did GoogNYCers really think of Armstrong or your other gossip targets? It's astonishing that in a company that employees thousands of engineers, you can't find a single decent tipster. They are out there, I am sure.

- Relentless, robotic corporate culture
- How braindead said culture made her feel
- Higher management pressure to party and be seen with other Googlers
- The fact that so many other Googlers can't understand why a normal person would want to have non-work friends
- Politics and office drama associated with zombie corporate culture and rampant social incest
- How fucking boring it was

Money aside (and it's not an inconsiderable aside), the couple times I've visited friends there (hey, free lunch), it seemed an atrocious place to work. Gave me the creeps.

His supervisor flipped out and questioned his loyalty (?!!?) and then started screwing with him, changing deadlines, etc until my friend quit.

I don't work at Google and I don't make a lot of money. But I have worked at other places like that, where I could have made a lot of money if I had just agreed to play their little games and given up any semblance of my own life as part of the deal. I chose to leave instead too.
