      ginseng

      February 23rd, 2006 by mike d. in Work

      currently eating: honey sliced korean red ginseng

      The company president walks into my office with a gift he received from a visiting Korean customer

      President: Want some Ginseng?
      mike d: huh?
      President: Come on, let’s eat some Ginseng.
      mike d: alright. it’s suppose to be good for memory right?

      the president opens the ginseng container and produces little packets of ginseng. He gives us a little Ginseng history and comments on how it’s super super expensive.

      I opened my Ginseng package and tried a little piece about the size of two rasins. Colored like apricot.

      President: how is it?
      mike d: eh. not bad.

      I eat two more as the president grabs one. Sander grabs one. I eat two or three more.

      President: it tastes like dirt.
      Sander: nah… it tastes like sweet potato

      I eat a couple more.

      mike d: this is interesting stuff.

      I eat one or two more.

      the president turns over the package and reads the back aloud as I put four more in my mouth

      President: “Directions. This product is portable. take two or three pieces at a time…”
      mike d: uh oh. I just had about two dozen of these things.
      Sander: what does it do?
      President: it’s an aphrodisiac.
      Sander: better tell Jesse to lock his door tonight.

      Exhaustion

      February 23rd, 2006 by mike d. in Work

      currently eating: total with Kashi!

      Yesterday was the WPI career fair. It was a sensory overload.

      We definitely brought hot wings which were a moderate hit. Some people resisted, what with all the suits and dresses, but those that participated got a taste sensation. The amount of people I spoke to is staggering. Four hours of non-stop standing, talking, and concentrating. A gauntlet of eager undergrads throwing their ego at us nonstop. I didn’t even get a chicken wing break until about 3 hours in. Thankfully, there were a lot of cool people interested in our company. or at least our free hot sauce.

      There was a huge crowd of old WPIers that I hadn’t seen in awhile. Shamus, Andrew, Sam, Chris V, Justin, Sarto, and a handful of other grads. It was fun.

      After the career fair I hung out for a short while in Worcester. Shared dinner with Old man and the crew before getting back on the road. tonight, it’s a midterm and hopefully some relaxation.
