Flip Flops

Seriously… what the fuck? Flip Flops? Really? They look stupid with jeans, more ridiculous with khakis, and barely tolerable with shorts. They don’t belong as daily ware, they have a specific purpose, and its not to help you slowly shuffle your unwashed ass into the Hollister. Flip-flops are specialty footwear that should be used to transport sensitive feet over the broiling hot dunes when walking to the beach, or from the car to the swimming pool. Any extraneous wear is just ridiculous. You know what? I'm gonna wear my golf shoes with my tux. My $250 removable-metal soccer cleats with jeans. How about flippers, sweat pants, a sweater and a top hat? I think that sounds great.

I'm making a t-shirt; I just need to pick which I want it to say:

Flip Flops are gay.
Flip-flops are for morons.
Check your feet, if you can see your toes, you are either about to swim, or you are a complete retard.
If I can hear you walking up to me, it should be for the change in your pocket, not the flipping and flopping.
Never trust a man in pants with flip-flops.
Here is another $1.35, go to Rite-Aid and buy yourself another pair of flip-flops.
Flippers are for frogs and imbeciles.

Any idea which to pick?

3 Weeks?!

Stupid companies.

I just had a phone interview. Originally, I found the job posted on an online board.. monster or career builder. So, I exchange emails with the recruiter and a couple phone calls... they submit me, a couple days go by, and I get asked to fill out a skills summary I finally get a phone interview. So, its been two weeks of back and forth. I have a 30-minute conversation, and she sets up a face-to-face next Wednesday. We have the whole conversation, finally she tells me.. its a 3 week project.

3 weeks.

3 fucking weeks …its taking 3 weeks to fucking interview for a 3-week job. I just don’t get it.
I mean, sure, it is worth it, the money is good, and I can always look for work while I’m working it. But damn. What sense does it make to look for 3 or 4 weeks for someone to work less than that? What really steams me is that the recruiter, job description, and first 28 minutes of the interview NEVER mentioned it was a 15-day contract.

Geesh.

Long time, no.. bloggy

I just spent a little while reading through my pals' blogs, and really enjoyed them. Some of you guys sure can write!

Why dont I keep a blog up? Is it because I dont have opinions? Surely not. It must be that I dont have any free time. Ridiculous! I guess it is one thing. I am lazy. Very.

But I will try in the future to post at least SOME on here. If you read this, I guarantee it is because you went back to the beginning. A good place to start.
