Thursday Night Lights

Hello folks,

Well, here we are for another installment of John's blog full of random thoughts, reflection, and general update of just what the hell's been going on. So when I was at Marchex there was this great coffee shop called Monorail Cafe and they had the best Burnt Creme's! Anyway, the guy that runs the shop was a flaming liberal, you know I think he was gay, rides a bike, and actually reads : ) and doesn't own a gun or at least I think he doesn't. Anyway, that isn't relevant, but what is were a couple of items that I got for myself from their little shop. The first is this countdown desk calendar which basically counts down the days until Yosemite Sam is out of office and usually follows a specific quote he made or someone from his administration. I've provided a couple of pics for your viewing pleasure:


Here's a quote from today's date. If you can't read it, it says "I'm going to spend a lot of time on Social Security. I enjoy it. I enjoy talking on the issue. I guess it's the mother in me."


They also had this great magnet which now enjoys a space on our fridge. I liked it because I do the dishes a lot! Yes, it's true. Holly and I have a nice deal worked out. I clean and she cooks although I do cook occassionally and a bit more now that I'm unemployed.

Speaking on the job front, still nothing yet. I get a lot of calls from folks but most of them are positions I don't really have a great interest in. I'm having lunch with a friend tomorrow and the company he is at is growing rapidly and that may bear some fruit so we'll see. Also, I'm in touch with a recruiter about a job with Cobalt which provides a variety of online services to auto dealers. They have a really great position that I'm interested in so I hope we set up something soon. This is just something that takes time but the proverbial clock is ticking so it will happen for me, it's just a matter of time. Job hunting is like dating, you have to go through a bunch of losers to finally find your perfect mate :)

Well, that's all for today, I have to run b/c The Office is on in 5 mins!

Peace!!
