‘Dunder Mifflin, Inc.’ courtesy of ‘Marcin Wichary’ Dear Mr. Wallace: I’ve been a faithful employee of Dunder Mifflin going on five years now. I loved showing up each week; my fellow employees were quirky, endearing and awesome. Even my boss, Michael Scott, was fun – if a bit clueless. He had his redeeming qualities, which …
Ok, so in this case the title doesn’t say it all. Actually, it’s just a lead-in to my thoughts that I’ve been gathering over the weekend. I did miss GenCon 2009 this year. First convention in about 10 years I missed and man, it was tough. As the weekend went on (and I watched the …
I live in metropolitan DC. Five days a week, I ride WMATA’s Metro system to and from work, like most federal wage slaves in the region. (I’m not one, but since I work on K Street, it’s a fine line…) So many times, I am inevitably asked by an out-of-town guest what my commute is …
A gathering of LOONS… (‘Americaâ��s Affordable Health Choices Act’ courtesy of ‘Speaker Pelosi’) Dunno if anyone caught this in the stories being posted today about the House Democrats’ plan to force national health care on us. What irritated me most is the lead-in from the article in today’s Examiner (print edition, p. 14). “House Democrats …
‘Breaktime’courtesy of ‘needlessspaces’ As of tomorrow morning, I will be working a new job in downtown DC. It’s a short-term contract for a few months, possibly temp-to-hire, but I don’t care. It’s a job and I’m happy to be back in the grind. 🙂
In 2008 a crack blogging team was bound by restrictions of a blogging organization they didn’t build. These men and women promptly escaped from the shackles of the oppression to the freedom of WordPress. Today they survive as a radical bloggers in the nation’s capital. If all you see is the politics, if no one …
I’ve got a few minutes, so here’s some random rundowns: 1.) Still jobless. It’s been a hard three months, with over 150 resumes and covers gone out and nary a word in return. I have had a couple of interviews, but nothing panned out so far. The biggest encouragement I suppose is that I’m only …
‘On The Ice’ courtesy of ‘brookeBAMF’ I really, really wanted to do up a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals between the sixth seed Carolina Hurricanes and those pesky upstart fourth-seeded Penguins. Especially since Game 1 opens tonight at the Igloo. Alas, I don’t have the time. I realize many people don’t know the extent …
My freelance boss for CGL is Herb Beas. He’s the Line Developer for the BattleTech license and a great guy. Overworked like no-one else I know, yet he handles it with…well, sarcasm and a wit sharp enough to not just kill sacred cows, but spit them over a raging fire until they’re juicy and medium …
MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT! (Ok, TOTALLY NOT REAL!) I’m so giddy, I can’t contain myself. The official press release goes out tomorrow, but I’ve got permission to post the news here a little early… I’ve inked my first novel deal with IMR. It’s set in the BattleTech: Dark Age era, slated for Summer 2010 release. Working title? …
