movin' on up

It's taken a while, but we finally made it back to the Greyhound Pub Quiz... and what a great night it was! Ok, we didn't win, but we came in 2nd this time, which is 1 better than the last time we were at the Greyhound. To be honest, a number of the questions were pretty easy - but we'll take what we can get.

More exciting than the quiz itself was the grand prize for most interesting day at work. Going around the room we had retailers, physicist, software sales closer (yay, Ashley), global banker, school teacher, and a Seattle-based art gallery curator (aka Mom, did you know?!). The bartenders chose their 2 favourite - and Mom was one of them... tension building - who would win the coveted best job / day prize of cinnamon liqueur???

The prize was to be determined by a test of skill... would Mom or the schoolteacher be more accurate in their guess of the age of one of the younger looking contestants...

Mom took a close look, said "hmm - you look a lot like my son" and guessed 28.

The school teacher went for the younger 24...

The embarrassed young looking contestant opened his mouth and said... "I'm 29"

And a great cheer went up 'round the pub for the Seattle smartie who took home the prize!
