Down The Rabbit Hole

“"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” “She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed it)”

Just Another Day

Got an interview tomorrow! HURRAY! Thanks for the tips on handshaking Mr. Rat. (for anyone else read previous blog). Its a progressive idea that when managed properties around here need lawn mowing, snow shovel, maintenance, cleaning, etc. Those managed properties call this company and tell them what they want done and the company finds the small companies to do it. Sounded spiffy to me. Thanks also Rat for the tip on researching the place.

Went to the bar on Saturday with the boy-toy, had two drinks a piece and then decided to go play $2.00 on pull tabs, I won $100, so went to the races for free, gotta love dirt tracks.

Got the tub surround.

Just gotta install it now.

Handshakes

How the hell do you do them?

I know stupid question, you put your hand in another persons and shake it up and down.

Or at least that is what I thought you did.

Apparently not.

Evidently there is some kind of artform to shaking hands. Since I am out and about looking for a job I have come across some doozies.

1. Women shake hands differently than men. Why? I don't know. Apparently I shake hands like a guy. None of that pussy half-hearted limp wristed shit for me.

2. In interviewing processes not only does the Interviewer check to see how you are shaking, but you sometimes they shake badly to see what your reaction is. (crap)

I have got to find a happy medium. Men say my handshakes are fine... women aren't impressed.... I don't really want to hurt them so I hold back a bit.

Resumes done! HURRAY!

Got job hunting is such crap.

Alice's Next Book

Alice's Must Have Next Book

Okay, so I'm a sucker for the Today Show... Basically because the Boy-toy so enjoys it, I usually am reading but will raise my head up for the occasional "uh-huh, that's nice, honey." However, today I caught this really spiffy What If scenerio of what would happen to the world if mankind suddenly disappeared. I can't afford it anytime soon, but, as soon as it hits my favorite Trade-a-book store (I have so much credit with them it's ridiculous) I am going to get it.

I wonder if the guy did his research on the subject... I'm sure he did, but it sounds like some good reading.
