Yes, it's true. I am a member of Mensa. Specifically, I'm a member of Mensa Canada. My gosh, I've been inundated with people congratulating me about this in the two days since Derek posted it on his blog. I bet I wouldn't have had half the response if I had just posted it on my blog. I guess that's what happens when you update your blog every 4 months or so. From now on, if I ever have an important announcement that I want my friends to know about, I'll be sure to get Derek to post it. :)

OK, but I digress. Regarding Mensa, it's not a big deal. I'm definitely not a genius. Interestingly enough, most of the people who asked me or congratulated me about it are really intelligent people. In fact, I'm lucky enough to say that I'm often in the company of people who are much more intelligent than I am. So why would I bother to join Mensa when I already have access to a large group of very intelligent people? Well, I'm interested in Mensa because it's a society of intelligent people who choose to spend time with intelligent people. I just believe than Mensans will probably enjoy having intellectual conversations about random topics and I think I'd really enjoy that occasionally.

On the job front, I have a second interview with Accenture Friday afternoon. I'm not quite sure what to expect because it's a behavioural interview. All the travel plans have been finalized for the trip to Redmond as well. I've got my entire stay planned out. I'm going to be getting together with Zurb, Tim and some ex-IBMers that I haven't seen in a while. I'm also planning to drive to Oregon to see my aunt and uncle. I've also been preparing for the interview. It's such a good opportunity that I just want to do my best. If I actually get the job, I'll be sure to let everyone know by asking Derek to post it on his page. :)
