Tuesday Round-up
John Scalzi, as though he had not already endeared himself to my wife for buying my story and, otherwise being a generally hoopy frood, has further cemented his immutable coolness by posting a bit of a paean to the band Journey under the guise of linking to The Complete Idiot's Guide to Journey. The techno remix of "Don't Stop Believin'" at the end of Scalzi's post is not to be missed. A much, much better and more enthusiastic tribue to Journey than radio personality "Free Beer"'s rendition of "Open Arms," now sadly removed from the show's website.
Anyway, that's more or less been the highlight of my day thus far, including the discussion in comments where I find someone (other than the assembled notables in this LJ) with whom to discuss seriously Genesis' musical progression through the years.
Today I had a whopping two (2!) client stops, each about half an hour in duration, at one to reconfigure a router, and at the other to install a replacement DVD/CDRW. Whew, tasking. The worst part of that was getting sleepy halfway between Okemos and Grand Rapids on my way back and taking a nap at one of those MDOT Park-n-Ride lots. One of these days, I'm going to get mugged doing that. But for now, it's either that or run off the road.
I need a job consistently closer to home. And to that end, sdrawkcabyaj sent me an ad for something that might do the trick. It would actually be walking distance from my house. Just need to send off my resume and, if they like me, see if the pay is comparable.
