Things are going pretty well for me. I spent some time at an orientation for UPS on saturday. It is an "on call" job so hours aren't guaranteed. Indeed they called me this morning to ask my availability but never actually called me in to work. I'm hoping (sort of) that I'll work tommorrow and earn some money for the holidays.

I'm going to, for the sake of a little thought game that can't even be considered an argument, Imagine that the world isn't filled with people who achieve based on their merits but instead achieve purely by luck. Beware, the rest of this post is bereft of moral responsibility ( Read more... )

I just finished my Job interview for a job in the University Computing center as a tech support guy. It was a pretty good interview. I think I was too timid as usual but I demonstrated what I think was a superior knowledge of common issues with connectivity, spyware, and other computer related stuff. I also think I scored points for ( Read more... )

I'd like to apologize for some factual inaccuracy within my previous post. It turns out that the Army Corps of Engineers proposal was not something that could have averted the flooding that occurred.
