[penguicon-general] Job Posting

Tue Aug 14 20:22:33 EDT 2007

I wish I could, but I've never seen Office Space so I really have no clue.
I'm going to say prolly not like that just because of the kind of movie I
think it was.  But I'm terribly uneducated for having worked in Suncoast for
almost five years, I've never seen a Kevin Smith movie (tho I'm pretty
sure Office
Space isn't one of his)... basically if it was a movie in the mid to late
90s I only saw it by complete miracle chance, I was just not seeing movies
during those years.  (gee, sounds kinda like now...)

Sarah
(my favourite movie is Apocalypse Now, why do people look at me funny when I
say that?)
