susandennisI am on a mailing list of about 5,000 mainly women in Seattle in the web/kinda tech world. All kinds of stuff comes across the list - questions, tips, job openings, job requests, etc. Some of it is useful. Rarely is it entertaining. I just got this email from the list that really tickles me - it goes right into the bucket of Really Clever Things To Keep In Case I need To Copy Them Someday... Don't you want to work at a place that markets themselves like this???
