“Kill my boss? Do I dare live the American Dream?” – Homer Simpson
So as thrilled as I am to have a job now, I have to admit that it destroyed my idea for a halloween costume. I was just going to show up wearing a nice shirt and tie. Business Casual kind of thing. I can see how it would go now: KT: What are you supposed [...]
So my job is great. I’m working with Steve, doing stuff I love. The boss has already upped my hours twice, and sounds confident that the two salespeople he’s hiring will enable him to bring me on full-time. The DSL’s due in a little more than a week, and Annie’s getting food stamps tomorrow, so [...]
Hahahahaha… Oh man. I found this while looking to see if Miles had updated Isometric. The link was labeled Disclaimer For Potential Employers. Great stuff, Miles. I think all of our sites should carry disclaimers which insult the reader!
Good News! I got a job! Steve’s boss at webcoach.com has hired me on part-time as a web designer/assistant to Steve. I’m only working 10-15 hours a week right now, and technically, it’s only for 1-2 months, but the boss thinks there’s a good chance that he will get more sales and be able to [...]
I am currently seeking employment in the Portland, Oregon area. Ideally design or computer related, but anything full-time would be great. If you have any suggestions, please email me. UPDATE: I have found a fantastic web developer position and am now happily working from home.
Well, as of tomorrow, I’m off to Pendleton for a few days. What’s in Pendleton, you ask? [insert sarcastic comment about small town here] Ha ha ha! Seriously, though, there’s a DEQ office. Apparently the LAN Admin at this office quit recently, and while they’ve been trying to replace him, a backlog of work has [...]
Nervousness. Still trying to get ahold of Steve’s boss to find out if I have a shot at a job. I’ve also got three applications in with the state of Oregon, one of which is a web designer job, but it’s in Salem, which means I’d have to move. That would suck, but the job [...]
Oh man, I am loving this courier book Scott got me (The Immortal Class) It’s this guy’s memoir of his days as a bike messenger in Chicago. Which is, apparently, twice as cold, five times as violent, and immeasurably gnarlier than Portland. Couriers get into fights with cabbies, menace belligerent drivers with their U-locks, routinely [...]
I just got off the phone with Network Solutions and found out that the troubles we were having with transferring spaceninja.com to joker were simply due to bad contact information. So hopefully I’ll be able to get the transfer underway very soon. I’ve been applying for jobs all over the place. I’m going to give [...]
Once I got to Portland, I decided to allow myself a vacation before I start seriously job hunting. It’s been pretty nice, just goofing off all day. I’ve been staying up until 2 in the morning and getting up at Noon. My days have consisted of nothing but reading comic books I borrowed from my [...]
OH MY GOD!!!! I GOT THE AMERICORPS POSITION IN PORTLAND!! NOW I DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MONEY!! EEEEKKK!! I’M ON MY WAY TO SAVING THE WORLD ONE TREE AT A TIME!
Jill has asked me to watch Gavin (her 1-year old son) a couple days a week, for which she will pay me. This is cool, because we already watch Gavin frequently, so it doesn’t really feel like extra work. Also, Jill is the News Director at the radio station, and her News Producer recently graduated, [...]
Went home for lunch today. Got a call from a recruiter 15 minutes after I got there. Did I wan to move to Richmond, Virginia, and write PHP for a young, dynamic firm?

mmm… real food. i haven’t eaten real food in probably a month. i just started again, slowly, over the weekend. the past month has been a period of fasting for me, brought on by the interminable stress of the big financial question mark (eg, am i gonna get any money at all for my efforts, [...]
the past 72 hours have been stranger than i could ever have imagined. being strung along for pay by my company (they’re now a month late) was irritating and stressful.. until i talked with my coworker at length, and things came to new light. basically, no matter how fucked you think you might be by [...]
We might be moving back to Portland this summer, instead of next summer, as we had originally planned. The situation here is a lot rougher than either of us had thought it would be. The job market is terrible. Annie’s still unemployed, and my boss has cut my hours back so much that we’re barely [...]
HOORJ. I am frustrated. I got in trouble at work today. Not bad trouble, but my boss has warned me twice (once kinda sneakily) that I’m spending too much time on the Net at work, and today he announced that he’s disconnecting my computer from the network. I’ve got no grounds to argue with him, [...]
Hmmm… I’m not sure how to feel lately. I’ve had one great thing happen and one potentially horrible thing happen. Bad News First: I came into work the other day and my bosses asked me to talk to them. They told me that money was tight, and business was slow, and would I mind going [...]
Working this job has made me realize something. I used to think that the work I was doing would be the most important thing, and that I could deal with any workplace situation given that I was doing what I loved. I have since realize that is inherently wrong. While doing what I love can [...]
Ha ha! I might be getting out of retail and joining the Brotherhood of the Cut Thumb and the TORX wrench… Wait. Let me back up. On Wednesday, November 15th, I got a call informing me I was hired at The Computer Store. I commenced to work my retail position on the 20th… After nine [...]
I got to test my new bike stuff this morning. It’s been snowing over the weekend, and last night it was really cold, so there’s snow and ICE all over everything, and I have a 30+ block bike ride to work. I only crashed once, at the first intersection, as I tried to brake too [...]
Well, it was snowing the morning, which was cool right up until the point where I had to bike to work. In addition to being cold and wet, I had snow blowing in my eyes, so that I couldn’t see. However, the end result of this is that I bought some cool sunglasses at Bi-Mart. [...]
Miles Visits and Scott Angers His Coworkers
Time: 3:48am (press return). Miles has just left my house. Around 9pm tonight (yesterday) Annie checked out a car, and we picked up Miles and Zach (and KT) at KT’s house. On the way to Gustav’s, Miles started telling a story about his housemates which he was only able to finish by the time we [...]
