Rock, Paper, Scissors contest at Rackspace ~ with a twist

On Fridays some Rackers (Rackspace employees) take a break for a Rock, Paper Scissors contest. Last Friday's (8/14/09) contest had a surprise entrant: a job candidate in the building for a job interview. Watch Rackers have fun and show the prospective new guy how we roll.

Ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow is going to be the most epic of epicness! Will el capitan avenge his loss by making another finals run? Will El Gigante smash some people in the ground? Who will score more points, Windows or Linux? Who will emerge as the true rock, Ric the Rock or Ruth the Rock? We find out tomorrow, moving back the time to its regularly scheduled broadcast of 3:30PM CST. See you there!

pinojo210 is @pinojo on Twitter. He's also the half-crazed, 100% entertaining referee in this video.

There, Garrett, you're outed!

The question is: Did he get the job?

[boboterror]

As of this evening the candidates for the position are still being interviewed (so I hear, unofficially). Also, the manager who bought the trophy overrode the Ref's comment about not taking the trophy and told him he could have it and he (the manager) would buy a new one for the contest.

I think rackbdc13's comment says it all. And Its definitely not the first time (or 10th!) Ive seen that comment from a racker either :)

Man, I love our company!! This is awesome!

Indeed. At the end it says he gets to keep the trophy, but they said he could have the trophy on his desk if he got the job.

The questions ^_-
