I know they're legally bound to do it when someone applies internally, but telling someone they didn't get promoted is the suckiest thing ever.
At least it feels like that from my side.
Maybe this wasn't the time or place.
Is it an omen that I started getting calls from other places about my resume? Probably not.
EDIT: I'm better about it. My manager pretty...

Christmas party last night with girlfriend in attendance. Way too short, and Nevin's Pub is not the place for a party. The food was lackluster and it was either too hot or too cold in the bar. However, our bartender was awesome, so that's all that matters.
Still, as parties go, pretty lame.
I hope my boss decides to throw a party at her place....

Good talking to you last night.

No, I don't think you're in their league. They're special!

Welcome to the club.
I'll post an event thing for bowling in the SG Chicago forum shortly once I figure out the date. Obviously it shouldn't conflict with any other events, so I'll try not to.....

Ok, here are the options:
Waveland Bowl
It's non-smoking, so some people may not care for that. But it does have beer. Lanes seem a little pricey, though. Now that I look at it, their website isn't very helpful.
Diversey River Bowl
There are a few others but they're either very pricey (70 bucks per lane with a two lane minimum? The FUCK???) or the...

No dinner at Blue Frog for me tonight.
I've had it, though. Rather than keep missing events, I should just plan one.
I think I'm going to plan a bowling night out. There's a place out here called Pinstripes that serves dinner, but I know not everyone can make it out to the burbs. I'm going to do some research and then post in the...

So today I am one year away from 40. The big Four Oh. It's a little surreal to me. I remember my 21st birthday and my 30th birthday. Both were completely unremarkable and rather depressing. My 21st involved doing nothing. I think I was at home with my family. My 30th birthday involved being stood up by a woman who clearly was not interested in...

Happy belated birthday. My 21st was the same day as my first day of my first job out of college. Joe Catania, with whom I went to both Kindergarten and College (but none of the grades in between), and I went to the Tequila Roadhouse on Wells St. We only had time for one pitcher of beer before we had to catch our trains back to the suburbs but we were late and had to run from Michigan Ave. to the train stations and completely wasted what little buzz we had. Most of the other birthdays since than have really sucked.
But, like I say, happy belated birthday

The thing is if you go back and look at old sets many of them had that great DIY, raw completely open look about them and then somewhere they lost it...
It was like they became to interested in production values and forgot their roots...
I miss the old days.

Sounds like a dangerous mix, but I suppose as far as problem solutions it doesn't get much more effective!!!
That owl is coooool.

Sometimes all it takes is a day to remind you that every problem is only temporary and usually has a solution.
And today, I got a check from the government in the mail. It's not 5,000 bucks, but it's better than nothing, and it was completely unexpected. That's always good money to get.
Still cynical as always, though.
What? Like you'd expect anything different!
