1. At a baseball game, there are two types of things: baseball and not-baseball. The not-baseball is hydroplane races, mascots, songs for batters, raffles, promotional-theme nights, any use of the PA system, etc. To improve a baseball game, simply remove as much of the not-baseball as possible. Apart from being more enjoyable, I tend to think the game would move along a little faster.

2. April 24th is "Take Your Daughter or Son to Work Day." You might not have a daughter or son, but why should you miss out on this kind of fun?

I am offering to let you take me to work. I have my own car but I'm not that great at parallel parking and if it's downtown I don't really want to pay for parking. I can bring my own lunch. I'd prefer a slightly more "casual" dress code, since I spend most of my days in pajamas, but I'm willing to put on real clothes if the right opportunity presents itself.

Basically I'm offering my wry sense of humor for a few hours and maybe a mix CD. Just give me a description of exactly what it is you are offering - the job, office interiors, hours, nearby activities, what kind of computers (how fast, which OS, games, etc.), where the office is and so forth.

3. In general, I've found it's paradoxically more fun to want something than to actually have it.
