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!!
