hahaha there is no way that could've fit in a twenty minute meeting timeframe. Oh, poor Jeremy... Reality crushes us all in the end... Hopefully, if you are selected, the promise of free money (which probably isn't free at all) will be enough for you to swallow your cynicism and fake a smile..

For sure! There's no fucking way I won't jump to if they give me the chance to go on. I know it, you know it, we all know it. But it's not my cynicism that will be choked down; it will be my dignity and my pride.
