Round 1 of the Yahoo competition was a success. About 20 minutes into it, I got the brilliant idea to have folks email in questions to us. Turns out karoshi was quite the hit with the ladies and, I'm naming Tara from North Carolina my new hero and best friend for emailing me to ask:
Not sure what the yahoo deal is about....we have been out of the loop....late for work....must go break the backs of all my egos.....smooches and voting to come later
Ever struck with the feeling that something is just.....off? Like, when youre antsy but not sure why and you're just waiting for the phone to ring with bad news or something?
Yeah, its like that....strange.
Update: Lets hope this is it. My ukulele, Rosie, has developed a split on one of the sides and the front is starting t seperate from the side. Granted, this... Read More
About a week ago I was struck with the feeling that I was going to be in a horrible auto accident that day. I must have had some really nasty dream that I'd "forgotten" and yet it remained in my subconsious for the remainder of that day. I made it through ok, but I was tweaked all day. About three or four different times in my life I felt like I was going to die. Not because I was feeling ill, just like some realization that I was going to die, and not in the distant future.... THAT DAY. Obviously I was wrong, but it makes you wonder, if that feeling made you more aware of your surroundings, and if you didn't have that feeling, that you might have missed the thing you needed to see and actually died.
Yesterday afternoon, I was recognised by my tattoo by some stranger who reads my online journal.. I was at the grocery store for the second time yesterday (the first time being to fetch soup and orange juice for an ill friend) when I heard a male voice say "well hello Ms Blue Valentine". I had that moment of panic where I thought I... Read More
I know I know. Yes I'm glad you were able to speak "code vague". what's the deal with geminis? Jonny's one and he has been a little off kilter. I usually follow that shit but I'm a little behind. Busy busy. Has the jounal thing stared yet? were you actually picked? how cool. You're a computer celebrity. HEHE
awesome....i'm so there. Jonny's more or less just been edgy and overly stressed about life and such. July I can look forward to this passing? God bless him!
Ummm, I tend to stay away from beating the crap out of folks....mostly cause it would backfire. Who knows? Smallish town, two degrees of separation betwixt most of us, ya know? Anywho, have a great day!
Im back in Austin. Got in at 4:45 this morning and spent the next 7 hours catching up on sleep.
Spent all day yesterday at Yahoo, which is, by far, the coolest place to work, ever. Any workplace that has a sushi resturant on their campus is alright by me.
I ended up with something like $120 worth of free Yahoo stuff, so... Read More
Met our competition last night. Yeah, we're SO going to win.
Well, its going to be between us and this pair of college kids as winners, I'm sure. Yeah, the others are cool and im sure are rather entertaining folks but, ya know, not as good as me
Oh, and I think ive already been branded as the token lush. Look,... Read More
thank god you got some back up jobs..... take a swig of the Makers and toast it fair thee well (sounds like you hated the job so say it with some venom if you want)
I've been fired twice....I was never great at waitressing.....
Free alcohol.... it's been too long, but it won't be much longer! My band is playing Smitty-palooza again this year, and we're always treated right when we do it. Smitty holds a block party every year with 4-5 bands, and all the food and drink you can handle.
WoW.....Fuck them.....you were too good for them anyway....what is it with businesses firing the awesome and responsible employees and keeping the shit-tards?
Holy shit, must be something in the air, everyone's getting fired... My deepest sympathies on the job loss pain, but hopefully you see the good that can come from it. Humans weren't meant to do the same shit over and over for years and years. We have to move on from time to time, and sometimes if we don't see it coming, it can sneak up on us like this. I'm confident you'll find something else to suit your financial needs. In the meantime, keep your chin up and your eyes open, there's opportunity all around you, it's just seeing it that's the problem sometimes.
I got my beautiful new shoes yesterday. I am in love with them. So, this evening, I will indulge in a bit of retail therapy to find something that will go with a pair of bone and white toned, peek-a-boo toe, high heeled shoes for them there photos Yahoo wants to take on Monday.
And speaking of Yahoo, they had us write a little bio... Read More
