I like long walks on the beach, clubbing seals, and alphabetizing spice cabinets.

save the seals! Unless you mean clubbing with seals, then its cool!

Hey becca, been quiet lately. How goes the job search?

Gosh! I thought I had put my “looks a bit like Jesus” days behind me when I cut off my hair…

ohwowitsbecca said:

Pete, random thing that just occurred to me… When I see your avatar out of the corner of my eye (such as when I’m reading your posts), it looks a lot like the Jesus Mii on my Wii. And it too me a really long time to figure out what was so familiar about it, because when viewing it directly, it doesn’t look like that at all.

Just thought I’d share.

Except it turns out people who major in math and Russian aren’t really in high demand.

You can help us in the Cold War!! Not that Cold War. The second one, the secret one.

-b. says:

Ahhh, a tech job. I’ve been looking for a tech job for about, oh, 7 months to the day. :( Not to paint a bad picture for you or anything. Hahaha. I think it may be easier actually for a younger person to get hired than someone my age (36). So, hopefully something will come up for you. Good luck!

ohwowitsbecca said:

Thanks! I’m mostly looking for tech jobs now, since that’s where all my experience lies, anyway. Now, if only someone would put out the call for Russian-speaking Jr. DBAs, I’d be set…

-b. says:

Hey there! Congrats on graduating! Too bad the weather didn’t cooperate. Math and Russian, huh? Hmm. Not sure how that can combine into something. I have to give it some thought. Do you play chess? That’s sort of math based and most of the greats seem to come from Russia. :)

Hey, let’s not go jumping to conclusions here based on name and gender. For all you know, I reproduce like a fungus. With spores.

Mmm, yeah, baby.

Confession: I am going to eat an entire box of Girl Scout cookies for dinner. Samoas, if you’re curious.

None taken. I just consider it my duty to keep everyone open to every possibility, including gay, fungal, and any terrifying combinations of the two that might ensue.

Geez. If that’s how you react when someone leaves for a better offer, then I can see why they’d leave as soon as the better offer came along.

Ah, yes. But can a hydra wear a leather catsuit?

Not 100% failproof, though. Bet this would sneak through. What?

That’s just softcore, artsy crap. That was just a taste. I didn’t want to link the really raunchy stuff on a public forum where minors could see it.

Gosh, topics like this make me regret having only a Wii. Also, every time I see the title of this game, I get Chocolate Rain stuck in my head. Every. Friggin’. Time.

Yeah, like Antarctica. Which also no snakes. But it does have penguins. It’s like heaven! Cold, icy, windy, miserable heaven!

I’ve never actually seen a Kevin Bacon movie (that I can recall). But I do like bacon.

Also, sharks. They’re everywhere!

I hate hate hate snakes. I’m not terribly fond of spiders, either, but have no moral qualms about squishing them, so I can cope. Snakes… well, I’d feel bad killing one. So I…

Confession: I shot a man in Reno just to watch him squirm, but I shot him in the kneecap, so he probably didn’t die. I didn’t stick around long enough to see. Also, I think I just…

I choose to be ineffective. I’m very effective at this. I win no matter what.

Just a tiny bit. Not really enough to do any harm. One of those stupid “I should really wash my hands before I touch my face” moments.

I’m with Jorean. If I’m watching auto racing, I want to hear someone say, “If they scatter, go for the baby and the mother.” And I want them to be serious.

If you can fit it in a duffel bag, you can call it a weapon. So find a small kid or a big duffel bag.
