Thank You Mr.Bill Gates

The benefits of living 3 blocks away from Microsoft's main campus are starting to payoff. They have been calling all month to recruit 20 something year olds for a research focus study. The first time around I did not fit the bill because Jake has worked for Apple but they needed a replacement and I was shortly called back later. Anyway, today I went for 2 hours and got a $600 voucher to their gratuity store. The building I went to was where they develop their game and gaming systems. Our focus group was on the Zune and Zune Social. I signed a form saying I would not disclose any information so I won't (not like I really know anything anyway).



Jake and I had no use for what we could get with the voucher so we bought some software and are selling it on Craigslist for a few hundred! I am looking forward to that. 
*And Jake is doing a focus group in 2 weeks for 1 hour and $75 cash!
