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.

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.

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.

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.
