Of course, the one problem is that the computer doesn't necessarily read the context -- I've been matched based on something I said I didn't like, but the word was in my profile, so.
Heh, yeah that would tend to skew things, wouldn't it.
Oh, no, oh, no! Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord, spare me college boys in love.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In that kind of situation, at least -- a lot of them are based on real answers to their questions, like the one that correlated liking beer with sleeping with someone on the first date or whatever.

I have a not-all-that-hypothetical question. If you are given a job offer but are still waiting on a couple of other really interesting places, is it better to be honest with them and say you might need a week or even a little longer to decide because you have a couple of other things in play, or accept the offer and jump ship if one of the other places comes through?
I want to be upfront and honest about it, but maybe that's not realistic?

Gud, I think it depends, in part, on what your industry is like.
If I accepted a job and then bailed, it would definitely affect my future because I work in a small world.
So, generally, I'd tell the offering place that I needed time to go over their offer, but not telling them I was waiting for something better unless I was using it to bargain for a better offer (which I would then be willing to take), and put pressure on the non-offering places to give me an answer.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I agree with Sparky. I'd do the exact same thing, and indeed have done the exact same thing.

Weren't we just talking yesterday about sinus headaches? I think mine just got the message. This cold can go to hell any time.

The air-conditioning wizard is here! He did not, as I had hoped he would, arrive via dragon. He must be in disguise.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

In this reality, his dragon appears as a truck.
