My friend Tim recently went to PAX. And he was nice enough to bring back a very nice gift. A Freezepop shirt signed by the band. This will probably be the first t-shirt I get framed. I just couldn’t bear to wear this out and have it hanging in tatters in my closet.

Re-employed
Despite the economy, I have secured new employment. I want to thank everyone who bought me a lunch or dinner. Thanks to those who sent me a job opportunity. Everyone who commiserated over my being unemployed, I appreciated your thoughts and gestures.

High Definition Cable Redux
The well defined cable adventure has been undone. In the spirit of not having a job, I opted to discontinue paying the $80 per month.
I will miss you Dirty Jobs and Mythbusters. No more Good Eats or No Reservations anymore. I’m down to Netflix and free, over the air, television. The kind I had when I was a kid, when TV was free. And we didn’t know any different.
At least I can watch House and CBS Evening News. And anything on Netflix. And maybe the stuff on YouTube and HULU.
It’s not so bad.

Were you fired, or laid off?
When I was a young kid, there was no such thing (that I can recall) as being “laid off”. Your options were being fired, or quitting. Either the company fired you, or you quit. Giving rise to the infamous line, “You can’t fire me! I quit!”
But these days, people draw all sorts of fine lines between being “fired”, “laid off”, “downsized”, etc. Trying to soften the blow so that people feel better about it. The subtle nuances of business these days.
In my case I was laid off. But no one’s manager looks at them and yells, “You’re laid off!”
