I had a job interview today.  For a local company that sells pre paid phone cards.  I had never heard of the company.  I didn't even really know where they were.  I was given directions and last week when I was out I tried to find them, but couldn't.  I called Infone last night to get a street address and it was different then the street the HR person had given me.  Then I went to mapquest and saw that she had told me the wrong street to get onto after getting off of I-99.  Looking at Mapquest, made it look simple.  A right turn, a left turn, and then a right turn.  So I got up this morning and got ready.  Left a little later than I wanted to.  Traffic is so, odd here.  Some days it's non-existent, other times it's backed up the wazoo.  So anyway, I get to the last street before the last right turn and I am looking for the landmarks the HR person gave me.

Suddenly the street was there.  I wasn't able to make the turn ( without the car behind me rear ending me ) so I went to the next street and turned around at the elementary school.  Then I realize why the street address didn't match the
directions.  The building faces the street, that is list as the street address, but to get to the building you have to turn onto the other street.  I was right on time but they were late.  There was a guy ahead of me who was waiting to be interviewed.  The front desk person was having "The day from HELL", because her phone was not working.  Two guys interviewed me.  One was the General Manager, and sorta looked like Eugene Levy.  The other guy must have been the technical
person, although he didn't say, and I wasn't told.  The interview was short.  They have a proprietary system written for them and they need a person to do SQL. From what I could get out of them, it involved writing SQL, creating tables and stuff like that.  The manager told me a little about the company ( very little ) and then he said he'd call me either way, sometime this week.  I'm gonna say right now I am pretty sure I didn't get the job.  But hey an interview is a good thing.

Came home and the boys wanted to go to the park.  I couldn't take them because my laundry hamper was overflowing and I also wanted to get my suit cleaned, since they are in the same plaza, it makes sense to make one trip.  I was sort of putting it off til tomorrow morning when the phone rang and it was UNKNOWN.  I kind was hoping it was the place that I phone interviewed with last week but it was the company Verizon contracts out to do the background investigation.  Which, I thought was being done concurrently with my drug test but was apparently not.  I am guessing my drug test passed.  She wanted a faxed copy of my last W2.  Plus she wanted documentation that I was an independent Consultant.

Well, I have none of that fancy dancy paperwork, since I pretty much haven't had any clients since the first two to justify spending $$$ I don't have.  She gave me the fax number and all that jazz.  So I kicked myself for not buying a scanner when I had the chance a year ago and got my laundry ready.  I drove to the local FAX transmission place and sent it off.  TWO frickin bucks and they dialed an 800 number!  Then I drove to the laundry place.  Dropped off my suit.  This place is weird.  Last time I dropped off on Wednesday, they said it would be done Saturday ( I needed it Friday and that was no problem) this time, she was like: "Monday okay?"  No.  How about Saturday.  Which was fine.

Went next door to the laundromat and did my laundry.  Listened to the attendant and an old guy talk about some potato salad that is to DIE for.  Near the end of my wash, a very hot gal with a to die for butt walked out of the tanning room.  

Left there and went across the street to get gas.  Mom said that yesterday it was $1.79.  Well today it was $1.85.  It is gonna be well over 2 bucks by
Memorial Day, and with crude at $40 a barrel, it's not gonna go down soon. ( My Dad KNOWS they're gouging us since they get it from the ground for free.  I tend not to get into it with him since he starts on how this guy drilled a well 50 feet down up north [ Warren County ] and it just flowed without pumping ).  

After getting 20 gallons, I pulled out and couldn't see opposing traffic because a dumb ass 18 wheeler was parked on the berm.  So I went around him and had to go thru town to get back to the highway.

Kittens.  Weighed the kittens tonight.
Yellow - 32.1  Black -  41.8 Spotted - 33.4  
So they are all over two pounds.  The runt gained 8 ounces.  

They've been picking at solid food, so they'll be putting on more and more weight.

Firefox is still not working in Windows for me.  I filed a bug report.

Got a postcard from Burpee thanking me for submitting a resume.

I really want Firefox to work, there is an extension called EditCSS that rocks.

You paste CSS in the sidebar and it updates the page that is displayed automatically.  This will speed my development in so many ways.

Well, if i wanna surf the web in any kinda of ease, I am gonna have to reboot.  

I'll post this on tha flip side, yo.

Have a good one.
