Holy crap, I'm posting again?....the job search....and Barack Obama.

Is is really possible to have viewed every website in existence? I know its not, but recently at my not-so-interesting day job, I have acquired the bad habit of surfing during breaks...surfing ad-nauseum.

After pillaging through every bookmarked blog of interest, crappy gossip blog, cute animal site and every online newspaper, I find myself staring at the screen with great contention. Not only have I become accustomed (and addicted) to checking my email every 34 seconds, but I can actually feel the shape of my ass slowly slipping into that not-so-attractive pancake butt that I despise.

Of course I may be being just a bit dramatic, but really, can I please have a job that challenges me so fiercly that the idea of doing anything but lying comatose on the couch after work does not appeal?

For instance, I am currently in search for a job. I'm at one of those crucial moments, you know the ones, the "I have no idea what the hell I'm doing with my life and goddamn it why do I have to pick something" moments.

Well yesterday I went on yet another job interview, and this time it didn't seem quite as doomed as most of the others. I was even given an assignment to create a project for them within 48 hours so they could check out whether I could put my money where my mouth is. I was ecstatic. I kid you not, I got started on that sucker the minute I left the office and didn't stop until it was done, about 8 hours later. 48 hours my ass.

And I can honestly say I did the best I could. Now, if I don't get that job, I just may stop looking.
I can become a nomad or something else that is noble and doesn't require getting up before sunrise. The early bird may catch the worm, but the late bird had a fun time catching cocktails with all the other birds the night before.

Oh yeah, and Barack Obama is running for president. Can I be any more happy? *Sigh*

If only I could revel in this bliss for just a while longer... you know, before the shit throwing begins. I have to say that this is my favorite time of the presidential bids. Before the shit gets REALLY ugly, and people are still saying what they truly believe rather than what needs to be said to get elected. Ahhhhh....if only it could last forever.
