Update

Posted by Brendan on July 28th, 2011 filed in economy, meta

A few weeks ago I wrote briefly that I have joined the ranks of the unenjoyed, brightly noting “Sometimes opportunity doesn’t so much knock as it shows you to the door.”
Since then, my benefits have arrived. I’ve submitted a letter of interest to a job coaching position, a friend at a global document management corporation [...]

Pathetic

I just wasted a half-hour of my life, 30 minutes i will NEVER get back, watching what was billed as a presidential Town Hall Meeting on the Debt Ceiling and Deficit Reduction.
The first question was about discrimination about atheists. Another wanted to know Obama’s biggest regrets. Another asked about compromise, what does it [...]

Hot Thoughts

It’s ridiculously hot outside. I’ve been up since about 7:00 AM, and it was already baking.
