Oh, my, GOD! A man gets an email from Dice.com that his resume is going to expire. He updates it, tweaks a few things, and dumps it out. Less than eight hours later his phone is blowing up with recruiters who, strangely, haven't talked to him since last October. They were "totally going to get back to you when we have a position" and nothing... now suddenly six of them have a job? Kudos to Aureus though - they actually contacted me *BEFORE* I updated my resume on Dice. Everyone else was leading off "I saw you put your resume out on Dice.. let's meet!". Cheap prom date; I am!

I'll be returning a grip of emails and phone calls tonight!

I was asking my local gas station if they were planning on carrying the new Colt 45.

They were unsure and then recommended me 4Loco. Ah.. wow... I didn't know the neighborhood was going down hill, but I do believe I know what I am doing Friday night. 4loco party!

I swear I can't seem to figure out how to get around this concept for my new chunk of my website. The layout is killing me on the inside. Time to go grease the wheels of innovation.

Sony MDR-E829V Fontopia Earbuds are the only earbuds I want.. EVer. I have had a pair since back in the day of junior high or so when I had a discman. I have sampled others but always come back. Case in point - last week I was with some pain in the ass earbuds (Sony MDR-EX56LP), but after the first hour I couldn't take them. I had them loosly hanging form my ear bits. Ugh.. don't make me shove shit up in my ear Sony! Thank god amazon shipped me a new pair of MDR-E8229vs. My concern is BestBuy claims Sony doesn't make these any more. I call shenns, but I might stock up. You know hoard another ten or twelve sets. Figure three years per set - would make it thirty ish years? Yeah I'll probably be dead by then. My grand kids can have them. Or my Lawyer.

I was also given the back-room nod towards Android/Java development from The Boss. Gotta keep it on the down low, but that makes me ecstatic! I shall have to write up a "getting shit started" doc for everyone. Maybe buy a book on it.

I miss legal lunch.

Aww.. sad. 89.7 The River is doing their 'phone a thon' and have been giving away Fall Out Boy and Hawthorn Heights signed stuff. Plus they've been playing a ton of their jams. This brings me back to that first month or so with FOB in the small office on the third floor at my old job.
