I got sent this in an email...

A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you're a great guy, but I don't like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we're not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we're going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn't work out, we'll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.

2009 and no posts?

Wow Scott, you are slacking. It is 01.20.2009 -- almost a whole month with no blog posts.

Well, it is pretty late at night but I will try writing something at least.

What has happened... well, the snow is gone for now, but it may be back. I used to like snow when I was a kid, no school, sledding all day - it was a blast. Well, when you have to SHOVEL the driveway and when you have to drive in the snow and ice it isn't as fun. The snow can stay on the mountain, I will visit it there.

Work has been going well, very easy so far but that is good. It is a huge difference from SandyNet - no longer do I have to do everything. I have my area I have to deal with and that is it. Really cool! The best part is... I don't get phone calls in the evening or on weekends!! WhooHoo! I can have a life again.

That said, I do miss SandyNet at times... I invested a lot of time and energy in that system... something it has not seen in awhile. Of course, there is a reason for that. I am single and did not have a huge "fun" life and I could devote 10-15 hours a day on the system. I could make sacrifices on weekends for the job and for the customer. There were a number of times when I had something fun scheduled but something happened to the system and to me, that was a higher priority.


Still single? Yeah... let's not go there... I've been told I am a nice guy... maybe I am too nice at times... I know I am not the best looking of the bunch, but I am hard working... I figure I am 21 - these things will come with time. Not exactly sure *where* I will look... work is out of the question, Starbucks doesn't seem like a good idea, the Internet is completely out of the question... so I will just wait. As un-traditional as it is... I would rather BE asked than be the one asking...
Heck, even something slightly long distance wouldn't be out of the question - I drive and fly all the time... maybe I should spend more time in Seattle ;-)


Businesses... ... are going well, kinda. Riley and I couldn't make it to the bridal show this year - we were 4th in line and decided we didn't want to be called last minute. Maybe next year. We've got a few events lined up for 2009, including one @ Timberline Lodge - really excited about that.

My IT business has taken a back burner... I am still working on getting someones e-store working... I think it would have been ready 2 months ago if they listened to me back then and not now... oh well - such is life.


That is all for now... I will post more later.
