Yar Har, Fiddle Dee Dee

Sup dudes. Not much cooking over here, for serious. I am being submitted to two jobs for two of the largey corporations around here. One is a way junior position that pays about half of what I’m worth, and the other is a short term contract that will probably pay well but be over soon. Normally I’d say, Oh, I’m sure I’ll get the low-paying one, but with the way the economy is going, I am kind of guessing I will get neither. I know I shouldn’t be so half-empty right now, but it’s looking pretty sketch out there. If this goes on much longer, I am going to try to pick up coffee work or something, like in college.

Last night I watched this old video of Fred Rogers testifying before the Senate on behalf of PBS. It was nice to see Sen. Pastore actually affected by what Rogers was saying. I confess I had a tear.

Today I wrote about Talk Like a Pirate Day over on Blogher. Avast, and some junk. I was tempted to give my avatar over there a little eye patch, but then I would probably forget to change it, leading to, wtf is up with patch lady. Potential employers are looking at my Blogher writings now. One of the cavalcade of people who didn’t hire me enjoyed my bullet-proof bra article. Right on.

The only positive thing I can report is that I started a running program, which is probably the best thing I can do right now with this spare time. I wasn’t going to say anything until I got past the OH DEAR GOD soreness phase, and here I am. I am going to stick with it. I was running about 5k until I was about five months pregnant with Strudel and it got too painful. I have been spotty since then, but now that I have big kids, it’s not so bad. I definitely started on “couch.” Bleah.

SFW Pron. Yeaaah, not really SFW, but hilarious.

My friend Laurie is in town this week, and we are having dinner tonight! It appears she very devilishly brought her SF fog with her.

  1. Mmm. Started running again this week myself. Did 3mi, had to stop twice to catch my breath. I am trying to remember how incredible it feels when you go running and you are actually, you know, in shape. I try to tell myself that it takes time to get out of shape and it takes time to get back there, but I used to be able to run a 10 mile without stopping! FAIL Oh well. Running is the best option until the knees start to go….

    Good luck with the jobs.

  2. I’m trying to remember those days too! Good luck! Nice to know someone else is suffering along with me….

  4. I am signed up with two temp agencies, three contract firms, green clovers, and purple horseshoes. Oh, wait. Not the last part.

  7. That Mr. Rogers clip is AWESOME. Thanks so much. Brought back memories of watching him when I was little.
