I don't know why ma, but I have a good feeling about this interview.

8/5/2012 12:44 AM EDT

Don't worry boss, I'm the lead engineer and know EVERYTHING. Tell the salesman everything is under control and hope he's feeling better.

As you can see, I really do work with a bunch of bird brains.

8/5/2012 12:50 AM EDT
