Random Seed

My class is unceremoniously trudging along. I’m not particularly enjoying this one course. The professor seems to “teach” in absentia, if at all. One particular classmate on my learning team is annoyingly liverish. I’m halfway through now so I’m already looking forward to the end. Once this course is complete, I will have a week without anything, and then my next class will start up. It sounds interesting: “Legal Environment of Business” or something like that. Maybe I’ll find out that half the practices at my last job were illegal and I can sue them.

I think I’m ready. I’d like a new job. I’m just not getting as much out of this job as I hoped. The only thing that kept me here is the fact that I have access to people very high up in the company, and that’s supposed to help me somehow. Networking, that whole bit. But I’m just not terribly interested. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good job, but I think I could be doing something more worthwhile. I check the internal job listings very frequently, and there is very little change. People are still not hiring. At this point, I’m ready to move anywhere in the world if I feel it would be better and the job were worthwhile.

It looks like I may have two new web design gigs. I’ll be putting together proposals this weekend. I haven’t done much of this lately, and my effortless redesigns of this weblog/journal have been crappy, so it’ll be nice to see what I can do when I have someone else interested in the project and therefore be forced to create something decent.

Like Magellan

While I was shopping last night (thanks to Darren), I decided to pick up a pair of Dr. Scholl‘s gel things. You know these from the television. “Are you gellin’? I’m gellin’ like a felon. You must be gellin’ like Magellan.” (Did the explorer really gel? Maybe they are referring to the mission to Venus.)

Anyway, I wore them on my way to work this morning, but I had to take them out when I got here. It was the most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever felt. It felt like I had two extra pairs of socks bunched up in each shoe. It felt like my shoes had shrunk two sizes.

It would have helped if they had a pair in my size.
