Subject: RE: Max - A job reference
Wow, GUESTS are really looking for fights these days. At least they used to have good reason to be assholes, now they're really reaching to pull it off. Flamers and Trolls used to be intelligent and powerfully spiteful, enough even to give us a scare or make us worry about the future of our community here. Now they're just embarrassing.

Thanks, Mr. Red and others, it is always a wish of mine that a possible employer would see what we do here and realize that it didn't come out of thin air.

I was supposed to have an interview yesterday afternoon. Went to the place and the fellow who was supposed to interview would not see me. He sent his receptionist to tell me that the position had been filled. They wouldn't even let me in the security door, they talked to me through a little whole in the window. I walked out of there feeling like I just got punched in the stomach.

I'm in an OK position though. Because I'm teaching at nights again, I can take my time finding a good job, one I love. And that (one I love) means that I probably won't be a programmer. I think I'm burnt out on that. Onstage still trickles, Mudcat too, and I could probably get away with one or two part time jobs. Tomorrow I'm going to a Limo company to apply to be a driver. That might be fun. A Tie-Die company in town is hiring too. Anyhow, point is, I'm looking for adventure, not necessarily a career. Though if the right thing came along... It's nice to be in this position, I'm lucky.
