I made it back! That was a hell of a lot of driving, so I'll be happy to stay out of my car as much as possible the next couple of days. It still feels weird being in my room after spending so much time on the road. I just need to roll around on the floor a bit and kick a soccer ball into one of the lights, then I'll feel right at home ( Read more... )

Well, I got off to a bit of a false start, so I pretty much skipped my planned stop in Portland (I can go there anytime anyways) and drove straight through to San Francisco. I took the coastal highway instead of the main one because I wanted a view and some beaches to visit. It was pretty cool, but after about 6 hours of those great views I just ( Read more... )

So here's what's going on. I'm basically finished with BCC, just taking one last online course that seems pretty easy. So now that I won't have to worry about classes (at least for the time being) I'm going to only work a couple days a week at Papa John's and dedicate the rest of my time to finding a better job. But before any of that I'm taking a ( Read more... )

I made the decision a couple weeks ago that I'm going to do whatever it takes to find a real job in he field of journalism now that I'm done taking full courseloads of schoolwork (at least for a while). That means revamping my resumee, fixing up my wardrobe (including finally learning how to tie a stupid tie), and making connections in any way ( Read more... )

Wow, I haven't posted in forever. I wonder if anyone actually reads it. Things are mostly the same, which is probably why I haven't really posted. I'm finally getting close to getting a degree after all these years, although it's just a two year degree. Still, I think once I finish at BCC I'll need a bit of a break from school. If I can manage to ( Read more... )

I had a sort of verbal altercation with a customer today. When he first called, he did not acknowledge me at all on the phone. He stated his order, and despite my attempts to talk to him he promptly hung up once he was finished telling me what he wanted to say. Problem is, he asked for a 12" thin crust, and we only have thin crusts in 14" size. All ( Read more... )

I suppose it might be time to update this thing. I had my 24th birthday last week, but I didn't do much partying. I had finals for all 3 of my classes during a 4 day stretch, so there was too much work that needed to be done to be under the influence the whole time. I must be getting old ( Read more... )

Happy 40th birthday Kurt Cobain ( Read more... )

So you know how I was complaining about not having any snow in Maine? Well apparently the weather gods heard me and decided to start dumping a huge wave of cold weather and snow on the Seattle area. It's very bizarre considering how rarely we get snowstorms around here, but I'll take it. I still haven't had a chance to get into a good snowball ( Read more... )

Normally I hate these sorts of stupid visual blog entries, but this one actually seemed cool. When I put in a picture with a straight face it said I looked like John Cusack and Kevin Costner. That seemed a little too boring, so I threw in this picture and got much better results. I'm thinking of quitting my job to become a full-time Ruben Studdard ( Read more... )
