Blogging on my Blog
Mike, you're starting to use my blog to state personal thoughts. Be advised that all comment conversation on the blogsite should revolve around me. ;)
Anyway, back to me, so today I had a phone interview for a position at JVA Consulting - a nonprofit consulting firm that supports other nonprofits. Anyway, I ended up doing the phone interview with little warning. I grabbed a notebook and pen and ran out of my office to find some quiet place to sit. My "office" is actually just a desk in the middle of a room with other offices off of it, and students constantly walking in and asking me where the printer is. Of course the place I chose instead was not quiet. There were undergrads running around, sitting next to me, and yak'n it up while I tried to focus on the interview. Yeah, I'm dumb, but they wanted to have the phone interviews this week, and I couldn't figure out when would be better. Anyway, mistake #1. Of course, being the coffee addict I am, by the time I had the inteview, I'd had plenty of Joe and coupled with the adrenaline in my body, I was shaking seizure-style. I like to think that my voice wasn't shaking, but perhaps that's wishful thinking.
The interview started off, by the interviewer (also named Naomi) asking me if I could commit to a year (it's a full-time paid internship) and if I had any conflicts in March. I said that I could commit and had no conflicts in March, which is sorta true. My stats class actually ends on March 14th and I really want to finish it, but figure worst-case scenario, i'd be willing to drop it. I'm hoping that if I'm offered the position, I'll be able to finagle it, which again might be wishful thinking.
Anyway, enough about that. I'll be mad at myself if I don't get a face to face interview; I should've managed this one better. Aww well.
Ann, I deleted my text messages, so now you should be able to send more. I don't know why they bounced and the last one that said they were bouncing came through.
On another note, I hope Heath Ledger wins the Ocar for Best Actor for Brokeback Mountain, for Mike's sake.
I'll leave it there for now, and open up the blog for ridiculing comments and Mike's personal thoughts :) - Nomes

I haven't read your blob for far too long, I loved the Christmas Bunnies story.
In my unbiased opinion you are one of the most intrigueing people I know.
Mike better hide when i get to Denver unless he wants the "So this is moron who called my daughter a hooker!" look.
You can tell how strongly I felt about that last comment since I neglected to proof read the comment before posting.
Yeah Mike! My Mom will defend my honor!
Woof woof (with the puppy ears)
Ohh, I like the new name of your Blob. And I think your blob is super intriguing, by the way. I check it all the time while trying to procrastinate at work.

OK people....I think we've taken this "with the ___ ears" thing too far. You can't just make up random noises and ears to throw up. This only applies if you happen to be a stone gangster such as myself (A-town, recognize!). The only reason I let Naomi create the puppy ears is for the same reason we have the special Olympics.
Furthermore, I admit I was wrong in calling Naomi a hooker. So I apologize and retract my statement. Hooker implies that she took money. And I didn't pay.
Moose antlers!
