Just had a tooth out at the dentists'. AAAAAAAAAAGGGG. My spit is still pink, and I have a cold compress against my face. Had to drive home from Olney this way; efbq will explain why. Of course, that was the cosmic cue to the universe to let the loonies loose on the highway; the trip home was through a slalom course of gomers and dipsticks who ( Read more... )

Haven't posted in a bit, but am alive and on the job here in Northwest D.C....though not for my company ( Read more... )

What is this...water coming from the sky? Oh, wait, we're being rained upon? The crops are saved, Paw! Er, well, no, they're not; the corn around here is fairly short, and I believe the wheat is the same. But given yesterday's high of 37* - a fine temp if the thermometer is in my mouth, a ghastly one otherwise - and the fact that the lying ( Read more... )

The quick and happy update: I got the callback. No start date yet; the start is predicated on the passing of a drug test. I'll have to study up for that. Point is: HIRED, bizatch.

Also had a blood test today, speaking of studying. Stopped at the Blue Cow for an iced coffee on the way back...tonight it's a show! Come see us!

Okay, got the call. It was the place up in Baltimore with the generic name (not that that narrows down the field much...oh, boy, if I ever get it off the ground, people will remember The Exchange Unique Services, Ltd....) I start next Wednesday. Yes, a start day. Not a start date, a start day. As in, I am officially hired by somebody who will ( Read more... )

Another win at the trivia night last night (yea verily, go us!) has left me with a number of interesting bheers to try out; I will likely post about them as I go through them ( Read more... )

Well, the interview went well. We'll see where this one goes. I now have a phone screen and a first interview on Monday, but the latter of the two is a known long shot that I may try to finagle.

Yes, I'm now on 43 Things. I am a weak, weak man...but bite me, anyway.

Found out a bit about what efbq wants for her birthday. Thinking, scheming...bwah ( Read more... )

Bigups for LJ's new feature of autosaving drafts of posts. This is made of win and good ( Read more... )

Boy, the $$$ is not being kind, lately. Still with no job, and crazieabby had a check-up that couldn't keep being put off, plus then snapped her glasses in half accidentally. Well, unemployment insurance is about to kick in, and I made two more job contacts in the past two days, including one that would move me to Salisbury (the client's Perdue). Also ( Read more... )
