Not going to happen down here.<BR/><BR/>The diner story? We only have Waffle House.<BR/><BR/>Commutes from hell? Well, we have those.<BR/><BR/>Football is much better down here. Baseball, this year is a wash.<BR/><BR/>You would have to bathe Gromit in anti-everything soap on a constant basis.<BR/><BR/>Jim would have the equivalent and maybe better airport for travel connections.<BR/><BR/>Our politicians are every bit as corrupt as yours and they smile more when they lie to you.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411527807049220749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19873733.post-60318729866389315922007-09-14T16:02:00.000-05:002007-09-14T16:02:00.000-05:00Thank you so much for your support.

I know two, maybe three people, tops, for whom it's the same thing. If I'd made better decisions earlier... well, you know. It seems like I oughtta at least do the research. Thanks again for making me smile.Hedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00940638535923331779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19873733.post-65785781952250528922007-09-14T13:08:00.000-05:002007-09-14T13:08:00.000-05:00WOW!

Very upbeat with a hint of reserve-very very cool!<BR/><BR/>I'm still hanging out waiting for you to pop over for some beers-take the geneva train up to liberty station :)...just don't trip and hurt yourself.<BR/><BR/>This was a wonderful posting. I could feel your emotions, I could feel your raw pain, some healing pain, and I'm glad to see that you're holding up. As in your post, it could be far worse. (My sympathies for your Aunt and her family-how terrible!!-As well as that individual who's cancer returned!!)<BR/> I do agree with Pos-you are a writer, follow that goal..now's the opportunity. Research research research until the opportunity is given to you. Until then, perhaps writing reviews? I have quite a few blogging buddies that do that...<BR/>Always,<BR/>Crusty~<BR/>Hang in there..They lost a great person, and employee-they're going to be screwed on cookie fridays now. :)CRUSTY MOM-Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147045282174189951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19873733.post-32088747655660791022007-09-14T07:39:00.000-05:002007-09-14T07:39:00.000-05:00I figured I owed you a smile after being a smartas...I figured I owed you a smile after being a smartass jerk in my comments to your last post.Posol'stvo the Medvedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573435137467134333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19873733.post-92160660853618003522007-09-14T06:56:00.000-05:002007-09-14T06:56:00.000-05:001.

It's exhausting to think of a job search in my current field - I think that's another sign that I need to make more of an effort at writing professionally. My undergrad is in journalism and I've done a bit of freelance for a local paper, it's just that starting over in reporting (especially) is not financially optimal. Although I haven't really tried hard enough to make it work to really rule it out. Thank you for your support and for making me smile so early in the morning.Hedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00940638535923331779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19873733.post-37939560777127852152007-09-14T06:16:00.000-05:002007-09-14T06:16:00.000-05:001.

I don't know anything about what happened about you getting fired, but it sounds like it was just plain wrong.<BR/><BR/>3. Despite all the arguments you might have against it, why it won't work, isn't feasible, etc., I would encourage you to take this as an opportunity to pursue that Journalism degree you've hinted at before. You write well, and you should foster that. And then afterward, go get that job across the street at the, what was it, the Chicago Sun-Times?Posol'stvo the Medvedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573435137467134333noreply@blogger.com
