It's so quiet here today. Even quieter than usual. I don't have a lot of drive to work on things, so I'm mostly just answering e-mails as they come in and ignoring other work. I'll probably leave early.

Still, it could get me a job interview, and I won't turn that down. Reminds me that I should really dive back into my job search. I got pretty disheartened back in early March or so and stopped for a while. Congrats to our job landers, by the way, and good luck to shovel!

Shovelhd is targeting startup companies in his job search. Where are they located?

I've had much worse sessions in the dentist's chair. 6, I guess. I had it done on a Friday afternoon, spent the weekend on the couch with a bag of frozen peas, and then rode to work on Monday (easily of course). In retrospect, I would have played up the pain and suffering a little more.

No need, they'll probably run a credit check before hiring you anyway.

Yeah. I'm in all of them. I got 3rd in the 3rd race. Tonight was fast...and I didn't have good legs. I was also literally choking the final two laps...a phlegm issue or something. So I could barely breathe in the wind up

29th tonight, 22nd overall. Not terrible for my first races at this level.
