I deserve an Oscar, because I've convinced almost everyone I know. Surely I must have confused you somehow. Can you get yourself to Ilwaco, Wa.? Snodgrass named me Doctor of confusology. I was so honored, since the highest I got was a B.A. You know, "those who can't do teach, while those who can do." Maybe that's just too much do-do.
I spent hours musing over the statement, "You don't know what you don't know." I finaly came to the conclusion I must be very profound. 21759. poipual - 5/9/2007 5:22:39 PM Wow! I know judith is powerful smart! But I didn't know she could see into the future.
Tell me Judith, will Ma or Alistair rescue me from my boat? 21760. poipual - 5/9/2007 5:24:33 PM I'm on the Mote 'cause I'm getting paeolous close to my own money on Full Tilt. You wouldnever guess my handle-unless you're dumber that Bush. 21761. poipual - 5/9/2007 5:25:01 PM I meant parolous 21762. wonkers2 - 5/9/2007 10:36:21 PM Al, what kind of a boat?

Can't you read, man? Do you think I just made up a mythical place called Ilwaco, Wa.

A year ago, in Message # 19007, I told you about finally landing a good job after two years of un- and under-employment. Well, that job ended in late February. I was a "contract attorney"/"contingent worker" (i.e., a temp, even though long-term), and when the division had a bad year the bean-counters eliminated me. To my great disappointment, frustration, and bafflement, I was never offered "permanent" employment.
BUT . . . within a month I was interviewing for another attorney job with the same financial institution in a different area (commercial lending instead of residential mortgage lending) and I was just offered the job! I start a week from Monday. The job is here in Columbus, and it's at a different facility that is CLOSER to my house. And the pay is the same as my temp job (which was good pay), except now I get vacation, holidays, sick days, 401(k) etc. So things are looking REALLY good now.
I even had multiple opportunities to choose from. My former boss, the attorney who hired me for the temp job (and was later pushed out amid legal department turmoil) became general counsel of another financial institution in Richmond, Virginia. I was scheduled to interview there when I got the Columbus offer. But I want to stay in Columbus for the foreseeable future - and "VirginiaSTOPAS" would be a dumb name! 21775. thoughtful - 5/11/2007 1:38:32 PM Congrats on the good news ohio...nothing like benes! 21776. macnas - 5/11/2007 2:25:28 PM Hello you crazy kids. 21777.
