Yes, you read that correctly. I have a phone interview today with a company that is south of Pittsburgh. Obviously I am hoping that it leads to a face-to-face interview.
The company seems to be set up much like my previous places of employment as of late. The responsibilities in the job posting are exactly what I have been required to take care of in this past positions. And the kind of equipment they design I have a little bit of experience and knowledge of, but feel that I could catch on very quickly as I always have when switching industries.
I believe I had sent a resume to this company late last week, but the person in HR that contacted me said they found my resume on the same site. I don’t know if my application...
A week back or so, I started reading, and eventually gave up on reading a collection of short stories. It was “No One Belongs Here More Than You” by Miranda July and it had been something I was really looking forward to and really wanted to like.
Here is the list of stories contained within:
The Shared Patio
The Swim Team
Majesty
The Man on the...
Here is another batch of beer reviews. More to come eventually.
Jolly Pumpkin La Roja
I found this one at Champane’s on my last trip to Michigan. They had many different brews from Jolly Pumpkin, and many of them were listed as spiced ales. I decided on this one due to the description. On the label it says that it’s a “deep amber with earthy caramel, spice and sour fruit notes developed through natural barrel aging.” I don’t know if I got a bad bottle, but this was a HUGE disappointment. All I got was sour. It literally tasted like really sour red wine. It had a great head and even gave off a lot of Brussels lace....
Sometime last week I finished reading “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay” by Michael Chabon. It was the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 2001. It was the 6th Pulitzer winner I have read.
I actually had two copies of this book. I read THIS...
A week or so before Christmas, I bought the movie “Up” for myself. I have gained a great affinity for the work of Pixar. It stars the voice talents of Ed Asner, Christopher Plummer, newcomer Jordan Nagai, and in smaller roles, Bob Peterson, Delroy Lindo, Jerome Ranft, and as usual John Ratzenberger makes an appearance, too.
For those of you in the world that haven’t seen the movie yet, all seven of you, here is the best description...
Domino’s pizza, to me, has always been the worst pizza in the world. Like is stated in the following video, I thought the crust tasted like cardboard, the sauce like ketchup, and that frozen pizza was better. And the frozen pizza comment comes from years ago, since companies like DiGornio has raised the bar there, too. (I wouldn’t say that DiGornio’s claim is quite all that, but for frozen pizza,...
One of my favorite musicians, Neil Peart, the drummer and lyricist of the rock band Rush, arranged and recorded a new version of the Hockey Night in Canada theme that debuted a couple of nights ago, though traditionally broadcast on Saturdays. Here it is …..
When I read about it, the first thing I thought about was a Spongebob episode where Patrick is mistakenly given an award. He’s goes around showing things (that is correct, things, not people) that he won it saying, “I got an award!” Pretty sad, eh?

Glad to see that “The Hawk” was elected to the Hall of Fame. Figured his day would come, but what was more interesting was that he was the only player elected this year. For those of you that didn’t hear, some of the writers that have ballots to vote turned in blank ballots. Not sure exactly what they were protesting, but maybe it’s time for them to give up their rights. As it was, Bert Blyleven just missed getting voted in, like he only needed two of the eight (from what I heard) idiots that put in blank ballots to vote for him and he would have made it. The one thing that makes me feel good about it though is that he should make it next year. Roberto Alomar was one that I...
