Interview Again.

   Why do they spring them on me? No sleep, and they asked me to call them this morning to set something up. Instead, they called ME, an hour earlier than I was going to call them, right in the middle of my first REM sleep in about a week, and told me where to be in an hour and a half.

  Stomach is still screwed up from dinner of greasy leftover pasta. Head is...well...rough. We do "interviews", then and there...Great. Cattle call. And they wonder why I get to be so cynical.

  I'm half of a notion of doing it ala the Lily Tomlin character when she interviewed for the Presidential secretary job in The West Wing. Well, not in drag, but you get what I mean.

Debbie Fidderer interview with Jed Bartlett, Part II. (I couldn't find Part I, which is very funny).:

Update.

  I got the job. Sort of. It's for a banquet gig, and I'm probably just going to be a set-up, break-down guy. Maybe bartend, but it doesn't look like it. They just needed bodies for this one gig. Going to be more like an audition. It wasn't really a "cattle-call". I was the only one there.

  They had me hired before my ass hit the seat. Reputable caterer. But they seemed desperate for people. Not necessarily a bad sign, but not necessarily good. It was...let's say...convenient for me. Never talked money. Just paperwork to fill out, what to wear, and where and when to go. I'll keep you posted.

Vershire School

http://www.nytimes.com/1989/04/05/us/education-vermont-seeks-tighter-rules-for-prviate-schools.html We made the New York Times http://marthamoxley.com/news/042802gt.htm And our OTHER claim to infamy : Micheal Skakel and the Moxley murder This was one of the places I went to school. A very unique place in a very unique time. Pictured, the dining hall in the main building, "The Lodge", and a few years after the place closed down. For Vershireites with foggy memories (for whatever reasons), or nostalgia: http://web.archive.org/web/20080624190520/http://www.vershireschool.org/ I think Chip Allee put this together, but it's no longer maintained.

Bad Guys, Good Guys, and Critical Thinking

Image
  Bad guys can convince most of a nation that they're the good guys. Happens all the time. It's why we have advertizing, and why TV ads are so powerful. They can lie straight to you and make you believe they're the most honest people on the planet.   The only bulwark against that is critical thinking. Experiment, observation, reason. Not a preacher's authority, not what "feels right".  And, most definitely NOT authority.   We can get the Bush White House telling us Hussein was part of Al Quaida, and that cutting taxes on "job creators" is the route to a strong economy.   BP can run all the ads they want about how they're helping the Gulf come back, but they're doing everything they can to not spend a penny more than they're legally obligated to unless it's in PR dollars. When they do their job right, you almost forget that the damage was due to their criminal negligence.    The Koch brothers can hide all their ads and pr
