Unfinished

I've been randomly poking various online sites to look up people I knew way back when. I think this makes me a stalker... all be it a rather pathetic and harmless one. How can you not feel like a total dork when you say, "Um hi you may not remember me but..." No matter what you say after that, you're looking like a goofball. At least for me this just gives them a very good idea about who they're dealing with. :-p

So this brings me to my total dislike for all that is MySpace. First of all you can't tell who the hell anyone is. I don't want to go about randomly friending people, I want to know who they heck they are. When looking up people from ten years ago and all you can see is "Bob" and a microscopic picture. How do you know who that is? So you have to send them an even dumber letter because you're not even sure who they are. This is why I love Facebook. Sure it's ultra spammy, but it gives me all I need from MySpace, and allows me to be totally lazy and see the WHOLE name of the person I'm looking at. Please all, embrace the lazier site... embrace the site that doesn't make you listen to the random song someone has left up for 7 months.

Time For Change

That's right, a new job! Ah, but this isn't any job, this is a "man, it sure would be fun to do that" kind of job. I'm thrilled really because I can do this job from anywhere. This means I can fly home for nephew time at any point. It also has the added bonus of being rather fun.

I had been lusting after this job in a rather unattractive way. I was almost a bit obsessed and had done quite a lot of extra work to prove myself. Poor Dina had to sit there and listen to me second guess every single thing. I felt like I was walking on eggshells worried that one wrong move would remove me from eligibility.

At least now Dina gets a vacation from my insanity... well perhaps not. But she at least doesn't have to hear me say, "Can you read this over and tell me what you think" for at least a month.
