Note: My own personal FriendFeed
nic
I hope those of you that follow my blog have picked up on the fact that I don’t actually write any of it specifically for my blog.
I hope for that to come later. For now, this blog acts as a personal “FriendFeed”. It collects content I post on other sites and aggregates them here.
Thus, the occasional weird formatting or oddball post is to be expected. Just thought you should know.

my blog's gone berserk!
nic
i know there aren’t many of you that read this anymore, but for those that do, I wanted to apologize for the craziness of the last few days.
i’ve just finished hooking up my own personal stream of activity to this blog, so you can see most of what i’m up to around the web in one central place. i still intend to break out of “breakfast blogging” mode and start making good things with good ideas again. hooking up these external sites lets me do that from just about anywhere.
thanks for putting up with me.

New job
nic
So I don’t really know how to write like I used to, so I guess I’ll just keep blogging about breakfast until something sparks my imagination.
I have a job. In Dallas. I’m the marketing/web services coordinator for the International Speakers Bureau. Yeah, it’s a mouthful.
On one hand, it’s just a job. I mean, it’s in my field and all, but whatever.
On the other hand, there’s some pretty cool stuff about working here.1 — the people are fun. My boss is nice and likes to talk.
2 — free transportation. One of the benefits they provide is public transportation, which happens to be valid on weekends as well.
3 — being good at what I do. Not every job gives me that opportunity.
4 — beer Fridays! I mean, I don’t even really drink beer all that much and I know that’s a sweet perk.
5 — Dallas. This city is huge without being overwhelming. And there’s a food court underground. Underground, I tell you!So that’s the deal. Shorter posts from now on. My fingers are tired.

Technology
nic
Geez, I didn’t realize how advanced technology had become in the last few years. I’m writing this on a device no bigger than my hand, with a grand total of four buttons on it.
Just testing it out. -
just a little FREAKED OUT
nic
so i quit my job today.
long story short, my boss and i disagreed on a number of issues about how a business should be run.
the back-breaking straw for me was our latest project, which involved an ethically “grey” issue surrounding intellectual property rights and international reciprocal patent protections. heady stuff, but not something i was comfortable with.
in the end, we mutually agreed to part ways.
UNFORTUNATELY, this came at a really bad time. amy and i are up for a home loan, and if i don’t find a good job soon, we might lose out on the house. boo hiss.
i trust God to do what’s best, but obviously i want everything to work out soon. i’ve got a couple leads, but if you hear of anything opening up in Jackson, TN in the very near future, please let me know ASAP.
jackson friends: i look forward to living in your town again soon. pray that God will provide a way for that to happen soon.

Post 100
nic
Believe it or not, I’ve been away from xanga for 100 posts and counting.
and i don’t know why i’ve started capitalizing my sentences. maybe its cause i’ve been writing business emails lately.
speaking of business: i’ve sold out. i’m packing up most of my freelancing ways and settling into a cushy corporate job with charter communications.
ok, maybe not cushy, but its a “real” salary-type job with benefits, et cetera. as much as i dread the thought of working 8-5 everyday, i’m stoked about the idea of a steady income doing what i love.
oh yeah, the job is making television commercials for local clients. should be fun.
in other breakfast-blog-type-news, i’m sick. i’ve got the strep throat, so don’t be asking for any kisses anytime soon. i know, i know. you’ll miss them.
my head hurts. that is all.
