five thousand shades of blue
Monday, August 06, 2001
I'm down but not out, and the search goes on. I'm hoping that perhaps I will get a nibble from the
other state web job I sent in an application for (the third in total) or for one of the local places I sent in resumes for. Or that perhaps what happened to my friend John will happen to me: that the first choice for the job decided not to take it and they come back to me to take it after all. The biggest problem with Eugene is that they (the Job Market Gods, I suppose) have listed either entry level dishwashers at like $6 an hour, or corporate execs / swiss-army techs at $50K a year. I fall somewhere in between there, and it's tough.
I
have decided to take some of my
artwork over to
cafepress.com and open a little virtual store with my stuff on it. I'll post when that's up and running.
I did have a pleasant weekend. Watched movies on Saturday.
State and Main was very funny, and very weird in a good way, with some memorable lines...
Fantastic Planet was strange and good as well in a much different way, and I swear the forces behind
Galaxy Quest based their blue miner aliens with the fanned ears on the aliens from this movie. Mostly though, I did a whole lot of nothing. And painting (charters for the SCA).
And you know, the authors of the code red virus, and anyone running Microsoft IIS software who hasn't yet fixed the security hole with the available patch, should all be hung by their toenails over a red hot flaming pit. Idiots.
is
this just not enough…?
