Mind you , I prefer the alternative...

but being stuck at home these days has led to a great appreciation for the sport of curling.
It's fascinating. It's a strange melange of shuffleboard, chess, and bocce. On ice. I'm addicted. I just wish the little girls on Team USA weren't a bunch of chokers. They're so perky and cute. And of course, one of the girls is the obligatory pudgy friend. They would be a great reality show that nobody'd watch.
And women's hockey. Team USA's captain, Krissy Wendell, has moves and hands that remind me of Denis Savard. She humbles all men.
Now that men's hockey has started, the 7AM - 5PM area of my day has a purpose. I go through the job boards and apply, apply, apply. I do some minor project work for a friend. And I flip around on NBC's coverage of the Olympics. (The daytime coverage is a billion times better than the primetime stuff. Sure, they're only showing curling, biathlon, and hockey, but it's all live and you don't have to put up with too much "Up Close and Personal" bullshit. It's all action, baby.)

As some of you know, I was laid off a week and a half ago, in a maneuver as cunning as anything on Survivor. I only wish I was carrying a torch when it happened.
In any event, I have been furiously submitting resumes to potential employers, most of them online. I have become very tired of admitting that I'm a white male and I'm not disabled, and no, I'm not a veteran.
I wish they'd abolish the Equal Opportunity laws just to save me the extra mouse clicks. Geez.
(Of course, this post was prompted when I had to redo an entire submission because I closed my web browser before answering the additional page of EEO questions. Dur.)

Every fiber of my being....

wishes that I was still working in NYC -
so I could waste an evening and $15 going to see Heddatron!<\a>
