I'm in a pissy mood, and I can't get a hold of my AA sponsor

I am in a super duper crappy mood. A guy calls me for an interview earlier this week, and I start out today with a whole hour to get across town. The interview wasn’t in a different city, it was just in another neighborhood. But after staying home for a year, I am totally unprepared for rush hour traffic. I was 20 minutes late, and you can imagine what they thought of that.

This whole job search has been a study in what not to do. I came really close to getting an offer with one job, but I am pretty sure that they found their way to this blog (based on my web stats), and that was the end of that. Somehow in the course of my short job search, I have managed to alienate every web design firm in Boston. I am beginning to think that I will never code in this town again.

On another note, I wanted to thank the people at this web site
http://tips.dennyhalim.com/2006/11/socialize-your-blogger-beta.html
for information on putting social bookmarks on the new blogger. Don’t they look cool?

Thanks Susan. I actually just got off the phone with her. I am going to have a milkshake and go to bed.

Hey Googie,

Thanks for stopping by... And now that you mention it - I am in denial about TV and this child of mine... Although if I stick it on something awful like the Golf Channel, he ignores it. (ie: The kid turns the damn thing on himself.)

I am sorry about the job hunt and today's kerfuffle with traffic and such. Not to mention the lack of an offer after finding the site.

Ugh.

Anyway. Hope you're getting some down time - I know how theoretical THAT can be with a small person in the house. And a couple of days of TV isn't going to do any harm.
