Enjoy Vegas in Small Doses --Escape The Strip By Rental Car!
Last February my family surprised my dad for his 60th birthday. Four of us all showed up for dinner one night at Bill's Gambling Hall and Saloon where my mom and dad were staying.

As a new resident of the Atlanta area, I've been to a fair amount of job interviews. Some of them have been good experiences. But to my surprise (and mild amusement,) many interviewers make me wonder if I’m the victim of a gag being recorded on hidden cameras. Of course, I do not claim to have perfect interviewing skills myself. I’ve stumbled upon a few really good questions that have taken me by surprise.
