100th post

Hey, this is my 100th post.

So, to all who contributed to the 2,747 page views that I have amassed since February, thank you. I realize that most of those views came from this being a #1 hit on Google for a month or so, but hey... I can pretend I'm that popular.

I have another phone screen for a job in Connecticut on Monday. I can't lie, I'm not that excited about it. I'm not even sure I want to go through with it. I already know ahead of time that the job pays $65,000, with 5% bonus and full relocation. I don't know if that's going to cut it. I never have had a strong desire to live in Connecticut. I told my recruiter to submit my resume so I have to at least take a half hour of my schedule and go through the motions of a phone screen. I probably won't go for the full interview, though.

I have this secret hope that I will get a job offer from Maryland and then somehow convince people here at Bristol to match the offer. This would be a double-win because the offer would be higher, but translate that higher offer to Syracuse dollars (cheaper than regular dollars) and it would be even MORE money. There would be other benefits to this option as well. How feasible is this? I don't know... maybe not at all. I really can't say. I do now that at the very least they might make some promises but promises do not make mortgage payments. I loved things in Maryland but if I could script it, I would probably get a big promotion/raise and stay here in Syracuse.

The truth is: I really don't know how things are going to turn out, although in my head I realize that some scenarios are more likely than others.

I spent all last night attempting to get caught up on all the TV I missed. Season premiere of Dexter, Entourage, Curb your Enthusiasm, two nights of Daily Show and Colbert Report, The Ultimate Fighter (with Kimbo Slice in action!)... that just about covers all the TV I watched yesterday.

Dexter was great. Don't want to spoil it. I know people who read this blog who still aren't caught up, but sleepy Dexter was pretty great. Why is he sleepy? I don't know... hurry up and catch up. (PS: yes you. PPS: you're sexy)

Curb Your Enthusiasm was an all-time classic episode. Here's a few reasons why:

"secondhand semen"

"I told you that blowjobs were dangerous"

"... I think you blew him."

"I'm going to go upstairs and eat this fuckin' Chinese food. That's what I'm gonna do."

"LD, I give you a taste of the chocolate and now look at you."

I love Larry David.

STILL need to catch this week's House, Bored to Death episode 2 from Sunday, and after tonight both episodes of Flash Forward. Not to mention SNL, The Office, and Community tonight. Yay, TV is back!

Which is good because it's freezing! And my heat is on already! BOOOOOOOOO.
