Jesus christ, football is still going on? Can't they just start baseball already?

Divorce him.

All the best to you then, go get it.

High of 50, chance of rain mid-afternoon. Would rain stop your run?

Stitching up at Roastology this morning. Gotta take the dog out somewhere today. Maybe do some job search stuff but I don't feel like it.

A few weeks ago I said "Up and atom" and people got in a tizzy because they didn't know it was a Simpsons reference. I recall the phrase "ignorant, misanthropic boob" being directed toward me.

That kinda looks like my neighbor's dog Tiko, but I'm not sure. He gets out all the damn time, but Edgewood and Laburnum seems too far from home for him. That dog might be bigger than Tiko but it's hard to tell, also can't recall Tiko's exact coloring. Ask if his name is Tiko (pronounced teeko). If he responds positively and enthusiastically, DM me and I'll give you an address to return him to. I'll see if I can find out a little later if Tiko's at home.

I don't think it's him, Tiko normally has a collar, he just never has tags.

The airport traffic control tower might have a good view. Or from the top of the Henrico Public Disposal landfill.

Hmm, sounds like you're the common thread in all those murders, I hope you have an alibi.

Thanks the only fellowship I know about is the fellowship of the rings.

Would you share what hospital you have to be 20-25 minutes from? Regardless of which one it is, a half hour drive from any of our hospitals still opens up a big portion of the city to you, though if it's a Southside hospital, you'd want to live in the Southside. If it's at Retreat or Bon Secours, you might be lucky and get to have a 20 minute walk to work, but not for $290k.

Short commute is what made me want to buy in the city.

Interview was good but not great. They're looking for fundraising support to include content writing for asks and acks, and I had to admit that my experience in that was second hand and more along the lines of editing & design support rather than actual writing. I think I'm a good writer but whether I'd be an effective writer in terms of solicitation, I dunno. I did explain that I have good knowledge about what's required for an effective ask, like the fundamentals of staying on mission, testing and applying different strategies, having a specific ask but allowing for additional communication if needed, things like that.

I did not bring up my specific reason for leaving my last job and chose not to highlight my need to work for an organization where honesty and integrity are important, based on advice I'd received here. For an org as small as this one, I thought if I had brought it up, it'd immediately put them on the defensive, pitting them against me, when I need them to see that we should be on the same team and they should want me.

Edit: also I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my mom, who's called me after every interview to ask how it went and to share her worry and anxiety. To me, things like worry, anxiety, frustration, regret have no use, so I don't let them affect me. She says I'm a smart, friendly guy who deserves the job, so that I don't have any offers yet is bothering her. She also worries about my finances which are, admittedly, running low but I'm still ok.

Job interview this afternoon, hope it goes well.

Negative.

Only fried chicken from Lee's is true fried chicken. Anything else is sparkling bird.

Dude give up. I know how others use the word ultimate, let me express my distaste for certain uses and you just feel confident in your knowledge that you and everybody else is right. You don't have to argue with me.

You're the one who responded to me in order to prove me wrong, so seems to me we're both displaying a degree of insecurity. I'm just messing around on a stupid social media thing, don't take what I say so seriously. We're just having a chat, not deciding the fate of human communication.

Homie, the phrase "ultimate heights" means the "last heights," as in the tallest, not necessarily the best or greatest. Your use only reinforces my argument.

I know meanings of words change, but it's through misuse. The dumbest people are driving the car of English language.

While we're on the topic, something I really hate is when the word ultimate is used to mean "the best" when all it really means is "the last." This is the ultimate day of the year.

Why even offer a tennis program that's coached by police officers?

People named Bill need to file a class action against the Buffalo Bills.

Lefty pinko rag.

Back home after my 10 day Ohio visit, what'd I miss?

Listen, the answer to all "best bars for ...." and "best bars to ...." is Bamboo.
