McDohl:  I've done a few exercises in the mid decade on Indian Island.  The place is intensely beautiful, and places like Port Angeles spout the friendliest people I've met. 

I got free breakfasts there TWICE by some unknown stranger I never met just because I was in my uniform..  Also the "god bless you count for me four weeks there combined was in the 60's... 

I don't get that anywhere else..

PS:  Now would be a good time to do the West Coast Trail.  And by now, I mean next spring/Summer/Autumn.  You're that close to the true meaning of paradise.

Oh for the days when hiring managers would actually bother to send you a rejection letter.

Tim Schafer, currently of Double Fine, talks a bit about how he got his first gaming gig.

Disregard, cocks were sucked.

An hour after I posted that, I submitted two resumes, and got two responses.

I tend to forget that my powers are activated by bitching.

Kazz and I worked the same shift at the gas station we both work at.  It was sorta fun.  And then I got sick and threw up and neither of us knew how to close the store!  Hurray!

But if somebody else pukes on the floor, you have to clean it up.

You know you've been coding for too long when you put /* */ around bits of an email that you're not sure if you want to delete.

And then seconds later, you almost close the window trying to hit the keyboard shortcut to compile.

So I'm working for Walmart again. On the plus side, it's at a different store, and I'm making over $2/hr more to walk around the store in regular clothes and catch shoplifters. Also, for the first 6 weeks, I'll be getting mileage pay for driving to another store for training.

Loss prevention is a sweet gig for retail.
