Holy crap Grosjean's car was cut in half! #F1

He was in this part of the car, that physically went through the barrier, at over 100 mph.

You can see the halo that saved his life in this photo.

As a firefighter who's responded to car accidents I am amazed he crawled out of this... while on fire, no less.

He self extricated from this tangled mess.

And managed to get away with just burns on his wrists, ankles, a few broken ribs and probably a concussion. Just incredible.

How he got out. Notice he's on *the other side* of the barrier. He, with the cockpit, went through it.

1. I'm hiring.

2. Because I've worked in/ on a jobs board in the past (that was fun @ShanePike) I found myself thinking through a lot of old lessons, stats.

This post doesn't seem to exist on the web anymore, but I referenced things I learned from it several times this week.

The way people search for jobs is cyclical day-to-day every week.

The biggest day of organic job search interest is typically the Monday after New Years, every year.

What's the most bizarre, highly-compensated job you've ever heard of?

Example: I met a CDL driver at the Gainesville, FL airport who delivers custom ordered RVs for a living. Drives them wherever nation-wide, flies or takes Amtrak home. Earns over six figures.

Commercial salmon boat captains in Alaska pull down highly variable incomes (they have to manage expenses, incl diesel fuel, deckhand salaries, licenses and food) but in good years they clear 60 - 80k in ~8 weeks between May and end of July.

Another candidate: when I lived in San Francisco I met a guy that worked as a deployable emergency commercial diver; doing underwater NDT testing on ocean-going freighters that struck something, cutting nets or lines out of motors, etc.

Cleared 6 figures handily.
