Geez, it just seems like yesterday that Marcus and I were celebrating the new year and planning to make this the best year ever. Ten months later and having had one of the worst years I've had since my mother died in 1997, I can't wait to kick 2006 in the ass on its way out the door. It's sad, really. I was so optimistic about this year. January 2nd I started my new job and I knew pizza was going to end very soon. How quickly that all went to shit, huh? Oh, well. On the bright side, I've learned some very valuable lessons this year. I've got a couple of possible job leads, so we'll see where those go. I know I will be fully employed before this month is out.
I just got off the phone with an old classmate who was giving me one of those job leads. We got postcards in the mail announcing the school's upcoming art show and she asked what I thought of it. I told her it looked like crap. I was personally appalled at it when Marcus brought the mail in. There is a fine line between cutting edge design and usability. I think whoever designed it tripped all over the line. I would scan it in and post it, but I don't want to be mean about it. There might be some people that were really cool with the design.
Wow, it's been almost a year since the t-shirt place I worked for went under. I drive by there are my way to meet Marcus for lunch some days and it still makes me incredibly sad. Since that was the beginning of my downhill spiral, maybe the year of suffering is about to be over? See, I'm trying to think positively.
As Martha Stewart so cheerily pointed out on her show today, Thanksgiving is only three weeks from today. Not really sure how I'm going to swing that this year.
Since it's no longer October, I guess I'd better come up with a new theme for the old blog layout here. Since I cleaned up my code a month ago, it shouldn't take too long to implement something new. (Knock on wood) I also need to figure out what's making my site load so slow. I wonder if it's those danged blogrolling blogrolls. Anyway, whatever is causing it is going to be toast.
I need to find out what ingredients are in Best Foods mayonnaise. I had to make some from scratch yesterday because I started making deviled eggs for lunch and didn't realize I was totally out. I looked up some recipes on the Internet and gave it a try. It didn't turn out bad, just wasn't really good. I'm sure the oil you use makes all the difference. All I had was canola oil. Definitely something to look into.
One thing I really hate about using Expression Engine is how I have to manually change my preferences twice a year for Daylight Savings time. I didn't notice the time stamps were wrong on my posts until this morning. Grrr. OK, it's fixed now until next spring.
All right, I'm going to go read the PPP boards for a bit, scrounge some lunch, hit a few fellow Thursday Thirteen sites and then do a bit of housecleaning. Thankfully, The Office is not a repeat tonight. Have a good day, everybody!
