Congrats! Enjoy the new (silent) ride.^

Dunno. The feature runs every Tuesday so either tomorrow, next Tuesday or the week after I suppose. She said that she'd give me a head's up when it is scheduled to go.

Photos of you Seth or your photos?

Photos of me and of my various bag tags and menus. Sadly not the best collection but it is what I've got.

This is a very graphic, but very sobering video that highlights the dangers of texting while driving.

Warning: it might be disturbing to some, it is very graphic.

The Job Fairy Strikes
 
I just received an e-mail from my future boss. My background check came through. Though, this is just a temporary job, it could lead to a permanent one at the same place. The pay is a raise from my old job too (though, I made more in Philly). So... I need to make a phone call, and find a start date.^ I now pass the job fairy to anyone who could use her help.:)

Time to go out and buy some diapers.

Congratulations!

Once you are "in", it will no doubt lead to a permanent one. Well done!

+1

In my own news, I have decided to go back to school and attempt admission to a Master of Science in Teaching program. I'm trying to figure out my credit and admission requirement situation, and the professor who would assist me in this has two hours of office hours per week and a voicemail account that does not accept messages. Joy.

I have a press release biography. When I was hired by the State of Tennessee, the local Gannett-owned newspaper (not the one that publishes my salary every year :rolleyes:) revised my biography. We had a discussion about that but they never issued a retraction. Later that year the same paper attributed something written by state regulators as one of my objectives (again no retraction). Now they are shocked that I will only respond to interview requests via e-mail ...

a story about tattoos http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8104645.stm

wow I don't think I'd want a tattoo from someone looking like that, I make snap judgements yes, but there is a tattoo, and then there is overboard.

You too? I'm picking up my new car this afternoon as well, although it isn't a Prius. Nor, for that matter, a Toyota.
