Mookie Blaylock is to Pearl Jam...

The World Series of Pop Culture sucks.

I went out to the website at 5:55 p.m. as instructed and was able to get in however it kept erroring out when I submitted my info. Then when you tried to get in the page was not available until the ten minute registration window was long gone.

So I thought, no biggie there was another test at 9:00. Once again I sat down five minutes early with multiple windows open to make damn sure I was going to get on. Lo and behold I got in and was doing famously through five of the six categories when the thing kicked me out on the first question in analogies. All I got was: Mookie Blaylock is to Pearl Jam as...

THAT'S IT! I was booted out and couldn't get back in because the 10 minute window was up. The only chance I have is if I miraculously make the top 5% with 10 wrong questions. Yeah, that is probably not going to happen. Deep cleansing breath.

When that screen went away I seriously had flashbacks of taking the ACT and thinking I showed up late. I will get over it, but I think I am going to try to put together a team for next year called, "Your Website Stinks".

ARGH, like I said, "World Series of Pop Culture" sucks, but I will probably watch it anyway. Also this is yet another indication I need to get a life if this is my biggest disappointment for the week.

Gainfully employed

I heard back last night from Cargill , I start back into the world of the gainfully employed as an independent contractor on October 8 th . My old client, who will now be my new client, Jeff wrote: I'm thrilled we get to work together again. This is the most important project our business unit has taken on in a lot of years so I feel a lot better knowing you're going to be part of it. OK now I'm nervous. Eeek - the most important project? Whoa, better bring the A game, but you know I am excited - scared - but am ready to go. I have so much to do before the 8 th , gotta get the list together to make the most of my kid free week (now that litte man is at daycare in the a.m.). Let's see: 1) Paint basement. 2) Purge house of clutter - how can we accumulate this much crap? 3) Goodwill and library drop off - Maple Grove Library is taking donations until Oct. 6 th !!! 4) Get the yard ready for winter - should I plant more bulbs? 5) Put basement back together - IKEA run ma...

Z is like for Zodiac

Shelly and I went to the movie Zodiac last night. The theater was nearly packed with mostly men and couples, so it was a bit obvious when two teenage girls talking on cell phones walked into the movie 20 minutes late. Shelly turned to me, "Why would you even come to a movie like this if you are 20 minutes late?" I agreed especially since they had already missed the first victims meeting their demise and the opening which told the viewer this was a true story. You just had to know they were going to be lost the rest of the movie, plus the only reason they were probably there was to see Jake Gyllenhaal . The movie was very good, one of the best I have seen since The Departed , I read the book and the prime suspect was much creepier on the screen than I imagined in real life. At the end of the movie, Shelly stopped by the ladies room and I waited outside. The two teenage girls we saw walk in late also went to the ladies room with cell phones glued to their ears already. At our...
