That being said, the perfectionist tendencies are a little rough. I wonder if she got any C's in college...though the one guy I know who works for Google never got less than an A in anything. Maybe this is a company-wide trend and the code monkeys who make the algorithms JUST RIGHT are press shy.

On a different note: there are surfing competitions where I live, and they award prizes to them as happen to be sitting when the big swell happens behind them. I think all of them have to be straight A stoonts before they're issued a wetsuit.

But a good student is not necessarily a good software engineer or a good marketer. There is an argument to be made that in these times of uncertainty about where the Web is headed, Silicon Valley needs intelligent people with unconventional minds. And such people are not often consistently good students.

I especially love the followup indicating her lackluster placement in her athletic endeavors. I guess she wasn't a good student after all, as she clearly didn't do well in gym class.

They are #1 so save your lecture when a strong and credible contender arrives.

Bill Gates is a college dropout and, by taped evidence during a Microcon, a really sorry dancer. But he was great at surfing the tsunami when it came. Serendipity counts for more than grades. QED

So, when the guy who was razzing me got a walk he decided to try to steal second thinking "Goofy" wouldn't catch on. As he rounded first, I shouted to the our rocket-armed pitcher who then threw a strike towards second that had such velocity it sprained my hand as it forced my glove against the head of the Razzer who was sliding into second head first. His helmet and part of his scalp flew into right field: the ump yelled "Out."
The pitcher and I made a great display of hanging out around the mound discussing how great a play this was, as my hand completely lost feeling, and as Razzer crept back to his bench. As he passed I said, "Fuck you."
Now, when I am forced to say, "Fuck You" (a rare occassion but it does happen) I am really just saying it to Razzer the baseball smartass and it will be that way forever.
See, Marissa, THIS is a sports story. You can use this one if you want.

I'm sorry, what?
What kind of person complains that people aren't paying enough attention to her?
It is one thing for Julia Allison to set up a website supposedly about her three friends but actually about herself; it's another thing entirely for someone to complain that no one cares. At all!

There are plenty of Mayer-related posts. Artifact of merging in Valleywag?
