Today I wore a scarf

So with a fast "hmm" in the work mood, the fargin job I applied for
I still use the term "fargin" and "ice-hole" since the movie Johnny Dangerously - am I the only one who does this and never found the joke to get old?
is once again posted. Last time, last 3 times, it came back indicating I was not qualified (I do virtually the same work as the advertisement). It would take no effort to apply, and...based on that I think I'll apply again. I can always say no, and damnit I'm so curious wth they don't see in my application I may well file a bloody EEO if rejected without sight again. You can go informal just to get information. Maybe they don't think I have enough years since the bar. Maybe they won't count the same work under the 201 code rather than 905. They don't seem to have a preselection going on as they keep reposting. Maybe the job sucks salty balls and people keep running the hell out of there.

I can't get over the location, and it's right at the metro. It's also a 15, and I'm about midway into a lower grade (but in a pay band, not the GS system).

Thanks to Colin I'm listening to http://www.stripmallarchitecture.com/

I'm ashamed that I just bought BP stock this year. I honestly bought it because while I wanted to invest in oil without being a total douche, I thought and heard BP was one of the best oil companies in terms of human rights and the environmental impact of their operations. Uh, they're the ones with that post-Obama endorsed offshore drilling coincidental flood thingy. Oops.

I had a bunch of little things to talk about but I can't recall them all, and I'd feel guilty if I spent more than 5 mins or so putting up an eljay on the clock.

I think I'm going to buy Nick's "Get off my lawn" t-shirt.

I'm fat and my elbow hurts again. My brain leaks.
First in line for a cyberbody, raise your hand!

TRONIK - yes I think. Mostly probably yes.

Passive aggressive post re: someone not on eljay
"Since you announced your single status, your profile pic got 10 years younger and 30 lbs lighter. You're embarrassing yourself. Just stop."

It's funny how the statistics are not debated - the taliban kill far more people, including civilians of course, than the US military by a wide margin yet the US is unpopular and protested in public. The explanations I hear are that the taliban kills people who speak out - while the US military is held to a much higher standard. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Oddly proud, hopeful, and incredibly discouraged?

I looked at the PTO job in more detail and it's more labour oriented. I don't really favor LR issues so much as beating down frivolous EEO cases and doing MSPB work. Hmph.

Tony, your scene points have expired.
I'm sorry, you can't cash in your daughter's scene points.
No, scene points are not, nor have they ever been, transferable.
