Todd Mundt's tuxedo
I temped at the local NPR station during their fund drive and part of the following week. I checked to make sure the data entry people entered the pledges in correctly. It wasn't super exciting, but it wasn't bad and it was work.
A list of things I got while temping at Michigan radio:
$10 an hour
The knowledge that you can get a tuxedo delivered
A bunch of cough drops
Potato soup and lemon cake recipes
A chance to meet the nicest people in the world
This article
A free chair massage
A lot of really good food, including Ethopian which I'd never had before.
The chance to meet Charity Nebbe
Actually, I only briefly met Charity, and then only when I was apologizing for getting lentils on the carpet. But, she is very nice and does indeed seem that happy even when she's not on the air. So, if you got to my blog by googling her, there you go. She is totally cool enough that my pathetic little blog should not be as high on her list of google hits as it is.
Temp work isn't too bad. I had a terrible cold, hence the cough drops, so I apologized to everyone I met for the hacking cough and the distracting nose blowing. I feel much better now, and everyone was very gracious.
If you ever have the chance to work or volunteer at NPR, do it. The people are way nice and the food is great.

Em and I were talking the other night and the most country music song title worked it's way in: Your momma don't understand you baby, but I do. Perhaps we shouldn't have watched the Blue Collar Comedy Tour movie.
I feel asleep this afternoon while trying to read one of my "stay in science but get out of the lab" books. I woke with a start convinced that the garbage truck was taking away the firewood we had delivered this morning.

Right then
Okay. So I don't do this writing thing well when I think I might have an audience. So I'm going to really abandon my poor blog. But I'm going to use it as a list for the blogs I like to read. So, if you've found it because I've linked to you, I like your blog. But don't expect updates from me.
Thanks.
