with an incovenient truth playing in the background...it's time to get caught up...in my last post...i made reference to my career life needing a serious makeover...oddly enough...after a couple of weeks...it happened...an old kinko's coworker/good friend...eugene...is the operations manager for the google book search project...i sent him an email virtually a few days after the aforementioned post...telling him that it was time for me to get out of the education biz and he replied that he wanted to meet that week...as it turned out...his daytime operations supervisor had quit an hour before i sent my email...talk about serendipity...so i'm working at google now (albeit i'm only a contractor working for adecco)... without getting into too much detail...i gotta say that google really is an amazing company to work for...aside from working with eugene and another buddy mark again...many of the bennies get passed onto the contractors as well...the cafeterias...as i'm sure many of you have heard are incredible...i really have to watch myself to not get fat (luckily my office mate tirzah...more about her later...has taken on the mission to make sure that doesn't happen...)...i get use of the several gyms scattered about the campus...and the other googlers are very friendly thus far...in other words...i couldn't be happier...plus...it gives me time to actually finish my master's degree and possibly pursue a project management certificate...
in other news...dan has returned from carpentry school in canada...he has suddenly become the definition of six degrees of separation...two of his classmates (in a class of 14 in the middle of podunk, canada) had some seriously close connections to him...one had gone kayaking in reno with our friend scott...and the other has had dinner at his sister's house in new your...talk about small world...another fellow student...an older gentleman named michael...thought he should hook dan up with his daughter...turned out they hit it off like he had guessed AND she has hung out with dan's brother's camp (camp carp) at burning man...i'm telling you...strange occurences are afoot...
there's more to share...but i think i'll pepper it in throughout my posts...with the general election now in full force and the fact that my master's project will likely involve the rhetoric of the debates...i'm going to use this blog as a forum to analyze people's thoughts on this election season...as a rabid reader of the cnn political ticker...this will be a running commentary of people's responses to various political happenings..i'm also hoping that this will force me to be a little more dilligent about this blog...pleasant dreams...
