Some of you may have noticed that the ‘days’ don’t correlate to real time. I’m actually only posting days I would have ben working. Got back from the camping trip yesterday (Which you probably saw) and finished putting the house back together today. Had the funniest thing happen. Someone from DivX got me on AIM asking when a project was going to be done. I got to tell them “I have no idea, I was laid off two weeks ago.” I see DivX is still awesome at internal communication.

I woke up early ‘again’ and beat Patapon on the PSP. Pretty fun game. They definitely leave it open to a sequel. You can keep playing it and killing the bosses and collect more loot. I wonder if you do, if you can use that stuff in the next game?

Few more bites on the employment front. Some possible interviews this week.  I have an all afternoon interview on Wednesday so I better make sure my suit is in good order.  A few possible contract positions popped up on the radar as well.

I went to lunch with Morgan today at the Costco out in Poway. He said he’d buy me lunch, it was the $1.50 hotdog and a coke deal. Actually pretty good, and, if I remain unemployed I know I can always get a meal for a $1.50 at Costco. Of course, you can never go to Costco without spending money. They had a great deal on SD Memory cards. $34.50 for two 2 GB cards! Apparently you’re supposed to turn in the thing you pick up in the store at the register to receive said cards. I got all the way home and tried to open the package. No dice. The local Costco won’t let me trade them so I’ve got to make my way back up to the Poway Costco now. I guess I’ll do it on one of the mountain bike trips. I also got some of that orange hand cleaner stuff, and a rechargeable battery set. I’ve been burning through batteries with the camera, GPS, and the new helmet cam will likely do the same.

On the way home I stopped by National University and re-enrolled. I’ve been rejected due to my lack of degree a couple of times in the last week. I find it interesting. As I know geniouses with no degree, and will likely never get a degree. And I know complete idiots with a doctorate. Go figure. I’m not sure why if someone has significant life experience why a degree is required. Especially if with that life experience you spent 4 year in the military. I have found that people with former military experience are far more desirable to work with than someone who just went to college. But, that’s just my opinion. Perhaps the places which ‘require’ a degree feel the same way about people who have degrees?

Wrapped up the day watching Boondock Saints and eating Bronx Pizza with Diane.  I can’t believe she hadn’t seen that movie being such the moviephile that she is.
