in the time of chimpanzees, i was a monkey

hi kids, it's about time for my monthly / bi-monthly blog full of randomocities and sponatanieities. I might have made up those last two words.

So, Bob Dylan once said..."the times are a-changin" I've never heard the song, but I've definitely heard the phrase before. So here's the quatro-uno-uno on my recent advertures that I would like to call..."The Legend of the Saga of the Epic Adventures of the Legacy of Hunt for the Job" Not like the book in the Bible...but like an occupation which pays cash money.

To change things up, I want to take a poll, so here are the questions:

1. Which City is better?

Tampa
New York
Chicago
Indianapolis
Sand Diego
Los Angeles

2. Why? And Why no to the other cities?

3. True/False It is better to move to a city where you don't know anyone, but with a job than moving to a city with people you know, THEN getting a job?

4. Do your chain hang low?


Please consider question 4 with sobriety and sincerity and honesty and complexity and integrity and longevity and creativity and nativity and neutrality and commonality and formality and generality.

To echo my favorite brother who is getting married next, here are things that I like in no particular order except for the numbers:

1. Cottage Cheese

2. Talking on the phone with Craig and telling him repeatedly that I'm kinda a big deal

3. Football...especially college football.

4. Da Colts

5. Coffee...and I'm talking about REAL coffee, none of this frap-cap-mocha-latte-chai-chino-cider-hot-chocolate business.

6. Domino's Small Pepperoni Pizza for only $2.99? Oh yeah.

7. Starry nights

8. ESPN and the Office

9. Mat Kearney (he's good! check him out! hint hint Darrenaubreylindseycraigjeff)

10. Skipping more classes this semester than I have in all in of my past semesters COMBINED

11. Tennis

12. Snowboarding


Here I are things that I don't like:

1. Pickles

2. Da Bears

3. Writing Cover Letters

4. Mushrooms

5. Not knowing where my stuff is

6. Not having a bed

7. Driving to a shady company for a shady interview and them trying to hire me for a shady job which ultimately turns into being a big waste of my time. Just for your general knowledge...never take a job with a company that says they implement "referral marketing" that's code for "sucker"

8. Fixing my car

9. Growing Up (i wanna be a toys'r'us kid!)

10. The lack of hillage and snowage in Indiana

11. Sallie Mae


That's all for now kids. Perhaps I'll post sooner than later next time.

Mom, I'm going to call you soon. :)

Thanksgiving is coming up. Holler.

Thanks to those who participate in my survey!

    2. It is easier to make stupid puns by misspelling its name.

    3. True - If the job is good enough you can buy all the friends you'll ever need.

    4. Certain grammatical incongruities within the question make it difficult to understand, and I also suspect there is a strong colloquial undercurrent that I'm not fully grasping. However, I will hazard a "definite maybe" as my answer.

    For #3 on the quiz, I would say yes.

    san diego and la are quite close so you can job hop between the two if need be, allows for a broader possible-joe base :)

    Indianapolis.... for the sole reason that you'll be relatively close to MOI. (Have you thought about Nashville? :) ) But if you wanted my REAL answer... I'd say NYC, because it's absolutely amAzing there. I know you'd agree.

    Maybe you need to broaden your job search to the fine city of Atlanta. I hear that it's, uhm, fine this time of year. :P

    Indianapolis has the added bonus of free furniture from your older brother who is moving into a little bit smaller house. =)

    Indiana has both hills and snow... just at opposite ends of the state....
