Rave on!

I went to a high-brow rave over the weekend. As you recall, A-girl is leaving the company... well, we had a little going away party for her. We went to this club that was just like you see on TV. It was a really nice restored theater with a (surprisingly) small dance floor. It had the lights and disco ball -- the whole deal. The women we were with seemed to want to buy drinks at the bar and take smoke breaks than dance. It's called a 'dance club' -- we need to hoof! The only saving grace was that they had 'dancers' on a stage struttin' their stuff. Picture something like "The Pussycat Dolls". Made the $10 cover charge almost worthwhile. I mean, the scenery was nice, don't get me wrong, but for that amount of money we should be dancin' (yeah).

Let's see... that was Saturday night, what else is happening.

I got woken up this morning by my cell phone going off. I hopped out of bed and ran to the phone. "My goodness", I'm thinking "it sure it especially cold this morning". Well my electricity was out, so the heat was off, and the phone call was my boss telling me I was late for work. I looked around at my blank clocks and told her my electricity was off. Jesus, I hate that feeling. Especially walking into work an hour and a half after everyone else is in the swing of the day.

I haven't been feeling especially well lately and the cold night of sleep helped to settle a cold into my head -- despite my best efforts. I'm still fighting it tooth and nail.

Think I'm going to take some medicine and head to bed. The only reason I'm fighting it is because I don't want to be awake at 4am with nothing to do. I'll try and hold off as long as I can.

Top 10 Cartoon Duo's

This time out the subject is Top 10 Cartoon Duo’s. I was only going to make this a Top 5 list but I had so many entries to work with, I added the last 5. Here’s the list is no particular order – wait, that’s not right… 10. Ren & Stimpy: Call this entry the ‘Odd Couple’ of the group. A cat and a dog (I think) living together and making their way despite their obvious instincts to be sworn enemies. I have to admit that this cartoon was hard to watch sometimes because of the ‘gross’ nature of both characters – pooping and boogers a big part of the vernacular. “Oh, Re-e-e-n?”, “Yes, Stimpy!” 9. Inspector Gadget & Penny: An uncle and his niece go around solving crimes against Dr. Claw. It was actually Gadget and his dog, Brain, that tried to solve the crimes and Penny that actually solved them. She would tell Brain the solution and that crazy dog would expend a great deal of energy trying to make the Inspector understand the solution. Finally, when Inspector Gadget would ‘stumble...

The ‘Ol One-Two Punch

In an effort to follow-up on my job hunt, I must tell you that I was not offered a job from either company for which I interviewed. The first company I visited actually had me come back again. I saw this as a good sign. It is generally accepted to inquire about the status of the position a week after interviewing, which I was prepared to do. They couldn’t wait until Thursday and sent me a ‘dear john’ letter on Wednesday. The second company I was pretty sure wasn’t going to make me an offer. When I walked out of the office (after the interview) I just felt like they were looking for someone I’m not. Officially, the owner said he would have a decision made before Friday but, like I said, I’m not holding my breath. He said he had 4 or 5 candidates and – unless all of them decline – I’m not expecting to hear from him. Finding a job is tough. I spend a couple of hours a day looking through all the online postings, waiting to find one for which I’m qualified. It’s almost like begging, which ...

Face Time and Loss

I had another interview yesterday. It was for a company that is right down the street from me – it only took me 10 minutes to get there… with really heavy traffic. I was finally interviewed for a job that I’m perfect for. Usually when I go to these things there’s always some question they ask that I have to answer “No”. “So, do you do any SQL programming?” – well, no, I don’t. This time, no such questions were asked and I was happy and confident about my answers. I don’t want to get my hopes up, but isn’t that what they’re for? In other sad news… I was dealt a really emotional blow. I lost a pair of friends yesterday and I said my ‘goodbye’ today. They’ll be picked up tomorrow and I’m quite sure that my life will never be the same because they are not a part of my life anymore. I have come to rely on this pair – heavily – over the past 10 years. I tried to recall how long I have known them and I think it’s around 9 or 10 years. They have become such an integral part of my life it just ...
