Man, I found a job on Craigslist that I wanted to apply for--you need to provide a URL to an online portfolio. No problem, thinks I. I made one in web class. It's flash. It'll be cool.

<panic>I CAN'T FIND IT!!!</panic>

That so totally sucks. I'm sure it's on my computer somewhere. I didn't copy over any of the data drives when I upgraded. I thought I had a cd backup of it, but I can't find that, either. So, I get to start over for now and hope I can apply before they hire someone. Unfortunately, it won't be flash. I don't have flash here at work. DAMN IT!

Oh, well...better get started on it.

Hey, I got a question:

Is there anybody that reads this thing that knows how to knit and would be willing to teach me on the weekends? I can't pay much, but I'd buy lunch or something. I've always wanted to learn and Michael's has classes, but they're always during the week when I'm WORKING. I learn really fast and could probably teach myself, but I'd pick it up faster if someone could just show me.

I really want to make myself a Hogwart's Gryffindor scarf.

Today is my father's 70th birthday. How did I get old enough to have a dad that's turned 70? LOL Just kidding, Dad. Anyway, we're going to have a little BBQ to celebrate later today and watch The Incredibles (since Dad hasn't seen it and I think he'll really like it).

I found out today that the manager at the pizza place where I work killed himself yesterday. I'm numb.

Once again President Bush is giving me one more reason to be totally pissed at how he's running his presidency. Yesterday he asked congress for $7.1 Billion to prepare for the minute chance of an Avian Flu Pandemic. A disease that has killed only 120 people in the whole freakin' world so far. They're all foaming at the mouth for a world-wide diaster. Well, we saw how well the government handled a real disaster when hurrican Katrina hit. They want to stockpile enough vaccine for every American. Last I heard, health people were scrambling to create a vaccine. Does anybody remember last year's flu vaccine shortage? We were all going to get the flu since we hadn't been vaccinated and we were all going to die! Well, I didn't get the flu, nor did I or anyone I know die.

How about being worried about a real health scare? Illegal Mexicans are bringing all sorts of disease into the country with them:If you're really so worried about the health of Americans, stop the flow of illegals into this country.
