Okay, Good News - Bad News

Good News. Cost Plus is a great place to work. Some of them are as nuts as I am.

Bad News. It's seasonal employment.

Good News. There is a chance to catch on at the end of the season.

Good News. It gives me recent retail experience.

Good News. My most recent work experience is no longer in April of 2002.

Good News. I get a 25% employee discount.

Bad News. It doesn't apply to food or wine. So no chocolate.

Good News. Their prices are incredible anyway.

Final Score:

Good News: 6
Bad News: 2

So this is a good thing. I'm going to update the resume and the application cheat sheet (and do version 3.0 of the SJPD application) when I get clear information of who my direct supervisor actually is, etc.

In other news, got what we though was going to be my last unemployment check, and there is still $22 in the award. Gimme! Even so small an amount cannot hurt!

Today, I'm going out to get a couple of polo shirts for work, A haircut (Ghu, do I need one!) and maybe a happy thing for myself.

Last night, after work, Kirsten picked me up so we could go over to my mom's for the weekly Survivor/CSI night. We stopped for Subway. I have the same damn thing there ever single time, so ordering it is second nature. 12" Spicy Italian on wheat, mustard and black pepper only" I was distracted by the large number of idiots in the store, so I missed what the idiot behind the counter did.. yup, he put green peppers in my sandwich. I despise green peppers, like most plants. Hell I have problems digesting them!

So, back to work tonight, 1700 - 2200. Expect an update tomorrow, as I shall be actually dealing with customers!

Ari? Could I ask a favor?

How would you write, in Roman letters, the following phrase in Hebrew?

You are a complete idiot, and ignorant of the world as it exists.

Thanks.

Owowowowow!

I am really sensitive to air pressure changes. They send shooting pains through my sinuses down into my upper jaw and teeth.

The usual Bay Area weather pattern is storm fronts coming through in waves. So the pressure drops, comes up, drops again.. it's going to be a long winter...

Attention, Bay Area sports fans

It's up to us.

Lon Simmons is on the nominating ballot for indiction into the Baseball Hall of Fame as a broadcaster. Go to this site to learn how we can get the man who simply was the voice for the Bay Area for forty years into the Hall. The Niners. The A's, and two stints with my beloved Giants.
