For a few months its been bothering me when I browse on Facebook and I see that friends from college are starting their careers. A fair portion of them seem to be taking jobs at large, well known companies. A lot of these are companies with either a large internet presence or their whole company ...

Protected: Saying goodbye to the year
Shortly after 2010 started, I found myself in a bar stomping on bar glasses in a drunken fit of joy. In many ways, it was childish, stupid and just plain pointless. But in a few ways, it was quite a fitting start to the rest of the year. Just as I shattered those glasses into ...
Always pay the boatman

I forgot to mention yesterday that it was my last day of work. It was nice, my boss was sad to see me go and I was sad to go. Coworkers dropped by throughout the day to wish me luck in the Peace Corps and to make sure I let them know how things are going. ...
Fill me in on what I don’t know
Here's some food for thought, I leave one month from today. Here's what's already been cooking; there's a bunch of stuff I still have to do. Seriously. I don't know what most of it is. Some people have been talking about a TEFL test but unless the directions are in my packet and I haven't dug ...
The grandiose life meant to stay grandiose
I was supposed to start a new job yesterday. But I didn't. Today I went to the doctor for the last bit of medical attention needed before I can gain medical clearance for the Peace Corps. A little over a month ago I submitted my resume for a 'Front End Web Developer' position here in town. I ...
A change of pace kind of week
I'm not even halfway done with the week and I know it's been interesting. As you know, I'm planning on road-tripping to Massachusetts this weekend on my motorcycle. Much to my dismay, on Sunday I found that my carbs had frozen in a wide open position. This is bad unless I want to get to Massachusetts ...
We make our own
It seems like a lot of people are in limbo these days. Hardly anyone has a full time job even though everyone seems to need one. I've been looking, though my situation is complicated. First, I'm waiting to hear about the Peace Corps and I don't know how to go about finding a job when I ...
Grad
First softball game of the season was yesterday. We won. I came home with a decent cut from sliding into second. The girlfriend is home for the summer, and currently on an island with very limited communication. I worked on the Kawasaki this past weekend and it's made some progress, but I'm still worried about getting it ...
Interviews and employment
My apologies, I just realized that I didn't update the comic last night. I was in the homework mode until I went to bed. I will try to get one up tonight. To answer the question, "How did your interview go?" It went, okay. However, I find it hard to judge because I think I answered ...
His boring ass life
Alright, I know I said I would write a little a few days ago but I never got around to it. It isn't that I have been busy, I just have been doing other things. I think I will start this one off with the first book review of the summer. My Boring Ass Life by Kevin ...
