This just in...

A startling development has taken place in the course of Adam Kepa's study abroad semester. Approximately 4 hours ago he submitted a request to be selected for a completely random, one off, one-time job here in Dublin's fair city.  Considering it nothing more than a pipe-dream, he forgot about the entire thing almost immediately after hitting "send" at the end of the e-mail. 

Nearly one hour ago, that very same dream became a reality as his e-mail was quickly replied to with positive results claiming,  "You sound like just the type 

of person we're looking for - crazy!"  Out of complete joy, and a bit of shock, Adam then proceeded to exclaim to the entire living room he had been hired!  

So, what's the job?  Continue to scroll...

Shown directly in the center of this photo is the first participant of the 2006 Dublin marathon to cross the finish line.  Notice the graceful stride,  his hands jubilantly waving in the air, and the enormous smile on his face. Now shift your gaze to the right corner of the picture to the gentleman with the bright-neon vest eagerly awaiting the runner to cross the finish line so he can get his picture taken.  He's called a Finish Line Marshall, and that's what I'm going to be for the 2008 Dublin Marathon this October 27th.  

A big thanks goes out to my folks, without whom I wouldn't have had the experience to consider going after such a position.
