I think I've seen the Lucent billboard mentioned in the article.  What the
heck is it about? It's got some guy on a tricycle and the caption says
something like "Get in touch with your inner child."  Can anyone explain
how that relates to applying for a job at Lucent or working at Lucent?  The
URL on the billboard doesn't offer much help deciphering that slogan.
( http://www.lucent.com/hireme/ ) In fact it shows some shoeless guy
lounging on a beach with his laptop a comfortable no-work-getting-done
distance away from him. So is working at Lucent really like a leisurly day
at the beach or as much fun as riding a tricycle?
