The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

Multi-tasking

Here's proof positive that I can wonder when the ax will fall today (it's supposedly the day they let us all know who is going and who is staying,as though I'm not one of the former) AND lust after hot guys!

Last night I had an absolutely delightful dinner with an old friend I hadn't seen in 15 years. I'm hoping to remember to tel the story when I can focus better than I am today. (I'm a bit pre-occupied)

Truthfully there's another thing waiting for me out there somewhere. The next thing is looking for me and I'm sitting here not available to it. So, though I'll have some financial issues about being unemployed, and though I was certain that Justin over at GuyfromChicago
was too optimistic last year when he got fired, I still think it's a good thing in the long run, as did he.

Though I didn't really hate my job as much as Justin did, (I hated it plenty, just not quite as much as he did.) I'm still glad it'll all be over soon.

I still got me a life to live and this fucking place is NOT on the list of shit I want to do. I was asked yesterday to describe my relationship with this organization. I asked if they had ever seen the film Gods and Monsters. In it Ian McKellan's character meets Brendan Fraser's character and while they're conversing he describes his early life with his family in England. He says:

"They were like a family of farmers who've been given a giraffe. They didn't know what to do with the damn thing except harness it to the plow."

There is no better metaphor for my job than that.

So later on today it'll likely be Sayonara motherfuckers.

Then I'll go get drunk.

In the meantime here's a random selection of hotties to peruse while awaiting the bad/good news.

On a completely unrelated note, I should say that yesterday I read my first tweet (twitter, whatev) it was from Anderson Cooper, whom one would think we could expect to be reasonably well-spoken.

He bitched about his day.

Like I need Anderson Cooper for that.

What could possibly be the purpose of Twitter?

It always sucks to lose your job, but I've been out of work awhile now and I LOVE it. I hope you do too.
I also love twitter. Give it a second chance - it can be fun, especially when you follow people you know personally.
