Hey, you know what it's beginning to look a lot like?  Christmas!
December 2nd 2009, 22:38 MSK by Chunkstyle

What will you be buying?  What do you hope to get?  Who do you hope to kiss under the mistletoe?  How will you avoid being visited by 3 ghosts this year, Scrooges?

There's no such thing as "too much whoring" when you're single.

I'm not the type of guy who fucks mayo when there are no women available.  If I don't have a girlfriend, I'd still rather date in serial rather than paralell.  The complexity of scheduling and keeping track of who's who quickly becomes unmanageable.

In any event: girlfriend acquired, Operation Internet Dating shutting down.

Is there a way to post something on Facebook with comments blocked.  I should probably let people know I've got a girlfriend, but I could really do without a bunch of "congratulations" bullshit replies.

I just wanted to sheepify your profile!

My former colleague sent me a 16MB .eml file with maybe 60-80 emails in them. The first one was a question about some reporting functionality and then the rest of those emails were replies to all with "STOP USING REPLY TO ALL, TAKE ME OFF THE LIST KTHX". Made my day. Especially the one where my coworker replied to all with the Bell curve in IQ distribution and range 55-70 marked in circle.

Way back when I started working here, we had a marketing manager who would send "marketing news" emails to everyone in the company a couple times a week.  Things like press releases we were sending out an long boring analyst articles that mentioned us in one sentence.  One time somebody replied to all with "unsubscribe".  We all thought it was funny, but he caught shit for it.

Heh. My friend got a 'written note' for it, which can serve as a legal basis for termination later.

I liked that Accenture used formal mailing lists for "marketing news", so you could just unsubscribe.

Also, it seems that being bago is actually a pretty common trait.

So I'm on the last leg of my journey across the country. I started in Sarasota, FL on Tuesday at about 6pm. Gave up early that night, stayed in a hotel in GA not far outside Macon.

Next day drove all the way to near forth smith in Arkansas. Stayed there with family and visited my grandma is who stuck in a nursing home now... And to boot it looks like medicaid will end up taking her place along with everything else she has for her to stay in the nursing home. Very sad situation. Good to see everyone though at the very least. Hadn't seen my uncle I stayed with in in 16 years or so.

Left there about 3pm after visiting for awhile. Got back on I40 and made it to Amirillo Texas that night, gave up because it had been dark awhile and I wanted to see what Texas looked like before I finished it up. Probably should have kept driving. It was good to see once, but it was really vast and boring. The crows were huge though.

Next I drove through New Mexico. Wow. I didn't realize it was so beautiful there. Same to be said for northern Arizona. Just loving driving through here. In NM it was colored mountains that didn't finish, but were neatly sliced off at the top. I had never seen anything like that up close. Arizona reminds me more of Colorado. Big mountains, snow everywhere and cold weather. It's down to about 35, I'm guessing, as I sit here typing this at my camping site in Flagstaff.

Heading to San Fran area tomorrow to stay on a commune my sister has relatives at, with any luck. And then I'll be in Bremerton (Seattle) the next day.

That week starting with Tuesday is crazy. Got 4 interviews scheduled already and some of them sound pretty promising.



That has been your status update from Matt's Journey Across The States!

The place was beautiful. Stayed in their complex they rent out to generate money for the place and walked all around their redwoods all over the mountain top in the morning. And the people I stayed with were pretty cool. Great stop. Put me way out of my way, but that lead to staying with my cousin in Portland and we smoothed over a lot of the problems we'd been having, so I had a damn fine time there too.

Just did a long interview in Idaho Falls with a company called Melaleuca (paid to fly me and put me over last night, did interviews today, flying me back out tonight). Interesting company for sure. Now flying back to Seattle so I can drive to Olympia for two interviews tomorrow.

On Tuesday I have interview with a company up in Anicordas (I think it's spelled). Supposed to be awesome up by there (by Whidby Island).

I stayed in Idaho Falls on the way back from Yellowstone.  The falls themselves were pretty cool, especially the part where it's a giant downtown hydroelectric plant, and I saw a ton of geese and a pelican.  But I wouldn't want to live there, it's not the PNW it's flyover country.

I think you're pretty much spot on there, jj. And their work environment is somewhat cult like. That said, they work with bleeding edge microsoft tech and idaho is beautiful, so if they offer, I'd consider. It's not like all of the other jobs I'm applying for are altruistic winners...

So...I've got two job offers, one from the above mentioned guys, and another more locally. Plus I've got another two interviews I'm really interested in, one of them being a second interview.

Not sure what I'm going to do yet, but I think these are good problems to have. Much better than having no offers at all is my theory.

Most parts of Idaho are more conservative and backwards than even Utah.  Good luck hippie.

It is beautiful though, and the winters aren't horrible for more than a month or two.  I have relatives that live there, but maybe the area you're looking at is better than what I've seen.

I know it makes me an ugly American, but I just don't understand what the hell it means that they are trying to form a government.  Wikipedia just confused me more.  I don't get any of it.  All I know is there are three main parties and you just had an election.

#646 by TreeFrog

Nobody won outright, so 2 or more parties have to get together so they have enough MPs to wield a majority in the lower house and get shit passed. Or you can have a minority government, which is sort of working for us in Scotland at the moment.

I was surprised to learn that British elections mostly end up with an absolute majority for one party. The Netherlands has had coalition governments since forever.

Yeah coalition governments is where it's at, to balance out the crazy of one party with the counter-crazy of another. I didn't know the British often had clean party majority, but if you say so I'll believe it.
