Okay, so no full time appointment for me. Though they were nice enough to send a letter this year.
In other news, my car is on a speedy path to retirement. I figure I'll write a nice, moving obituary for it later this week. Or maybe this weekend. Or next week, depending on when I get those papers graded...

Pledge to someday reevaluate general thematic intent and direction of beta cite before it is too late to launch such initiatives
So, it occured to me...like, just now, that this blog has...maybe become blandly predictable. I rave, I rant, mostly about sports, and then I try to be witty about things.
BLAH.
I had, for the most part, a few things in mind when I launched this thing (with the laser-rocket arm that is my writing sensibility):
1) I will not discuss work or anyone involved. To do so would be unprofessional.
2) I will not use it as a DIRECT outlet for creative projects.
3) I will not use the lame, "this is how my day was" kind of tripe to fill space or get attention.
Okay, all three are, for the most part, sound. Number 1 is immutable. That's good. Number 2 (snickers childishly) is good, but I have to this point misinterpreted it to mean that I couldn't talk about creative projects (note the all caps denoting emphasis on direct, as in, I won't put creative work up on this site(of course, if I was quoting myself, I would have to mention that the emphasis was mine, but not mine in terms of presentation of an integrated source)). Fortunately, I haven't, so much, HAD any creative work to talk about, so that sort of took care of itself (once again, my emphasis). BUT, I am on the path back to getting shit done, so that will soon cease to be a problem, and you (whoever reads this digital rag) will get to hear about it (note the emphasis on but, by the way). I know, I'm a real mensch.
It's number three of the arbitrary and until now completely informal (and unwritten) operating points that is giving me trouble. I fully intend to keep the latter part (not to fill space or get attention), but it occurs to me that since I am such an utter failure with correspondence, I might as well keep updating the BLOG to convey that info (unconsiously typed emphasis).
So. How am I doing? Well, right now, I've had a couple glasses of wine, and I'm good. More later.
Oh, because it comes to mind: Ashley, Lacey, Kyle...I know I don't talk with y'all much, but you are missed around the office. Very much. Hope you're all doing well.
And, honestly, good wishes to all.
Okay, time for spell-check.
[update: okay, because I accidentally typed "ya'll" the first time and didn't want to get hate mail from certain readers (like...oh, I don't know...ASHLEY!?!?!) about getting it wrong, I changed it and then, out of curiosity, looked it up online. As asinine as I find wikipedia sometimes, I thought this article was interesting.]
[update 2: okay, my spell check is broken, and it's really pissing me off]
