I'm totally in Chicago right now ()

by fluffy at 10:10 AM
I'm also totally sick with a respiratory infection. Yay!

I'm staying at my grandpa's house, along with three of my cousins (and their mom), two of whom I haven't seen in about 12 years. I barely recognize them (and by "barely" I mean "don't") though I can tell them apart at least.

My Internet connectivity is minimal at best. I can get online through my cellphone as always, but it's slow, and so basically I just have access to my email and my forum. I can also IM via phone (though anyone who's chatted to me that way knows it's slow and annoying and so I don't do it much); unfortunately, T-Mobile is still blocking IM clients from running on a GPRS-tunneled computer (though it does allow IM clients directly on the phone, but since I'm using the T610 I don't have a native client anymore so I'm using T-Mobile's mostly-horrible WAP one, which is dumb because the T610 has a native client in firmware but T-Mobile removed it so that people would have to use the WAP one instead!).

Oh yeah, I got the job. I am now an Amazon warrior. Tee hee.

(I'd have done a comic to depict that but I don't have my Wacom with me.)

This will be the first time a job has paid for relocation, and they're more than making up for all the crappy jobs I had to pay to relocate for myself!

That is totally awsome! Hey, while you're there, clue them in about that whole patent thingy, ok? Thanks. Wink

Nice work! Glad you're excited and looking forward to it. Smile

Chicago is such an awesome city--I love to visit there. I have a friend that goes to school at DePaul and it's always fun when my friends and I visit.

Yay! See, getting fired was good! Smile

Now hopefully you'll get to experience a non-sucky workplace.

Congratulations! I look forward to finding a plaid page at Amazon every once in a while Smile

Great to hear about getting that job, now everyone seems to be moving to the north west, you're all stalking me I say!

Grats on the new job. Very Happy

Looks like being fired was a blessing in disguise. I hope so anyway.
Do you know if you will be able to bring your cats with you?
#5337 04/27/2005 07:23 pm Yay fluffy!
You're gonna be an Amazon.com

They were neat, though I'd rather be a Paladin.com, or Sorceress.com.

Apparently you could even have been a Barbarian.com...

But there's no Necromancer.com, Assassin.com is a big faker, and I don't know what a Druid.com is supposed to be. o o

I didn't put the Amazon warrior thing together until I read the comments.

Congrats!

Now I must return to reading about Karl Marx's manic metaphysical mental musings on the essence of humanity.

that whole patent thingy, ok?


Why, do you know of anything that they've patented that other people were doing before them?

Do they still have that 1-click patent? I was (mostly) joking... Smile

They do. Was anyone doing that before them, though?

Also, obvious-in-retrospect is not the same thing as obvious. Many of the best inventions are obvious-in-retrospect.
