My favorite band THE DEMPSEYS return to my favorite bar tonight at 9:30. It’s been almost three months since I last saw one of their shows, probably a record long time since I met them four years ago. As of right now I have no plans for tomorrow morning, so I’ll likely last all the way through their third set, which they usually wrap up about 1:30 AM. After that I’ll head home, although it’s possible I may detour into EP’s for one beer.<\/p>\n
So yesterday I did a post that pretty much listed every place I’ll be for the next week. Then later in the day I found out that my stalker and her little sidekick have been reading my blog. Oh goody. I sure made it easy for her. I may need to hire a bodyguard.<\/p>\n
Job hunting this week has been an experience. Had an interview Tuesday afternoon, and as I was getting ready I discovered that I had forgotten how to tie a tie. Thank goodness for Internet access… I found a tutorial that walked me through it.<\/p>\n
Then there was the question of what to do with my hair. I’ve grown it out extra long as part of my Halloween costume, but it’s really longer than I would like it for job interviews. I tried tying it in a ponytail, but that just looked stupid. I tried slicking it back, but then it looked like I had a mullet. Finally I got something decent out of it and headed out the door. But I had to get gas and the wind and rain undid my handiwork. I tried to comb it in the bathroom but not much success… the final product made me think, if I bleached it blond I’d look like Ric Flair circa 1988. Whooooo! Oh well. If a company gets its panties all in a wad about hair it probably isn’t a place I’d want to work anyway.<\/p>\n
So I had interviews in East Memphis Tuesday and Collierville Wednesday. Collierville sure is a long drive from Downtown. I have a phone interview for a job today that sounds absolutely awesome… hope that one works out. I’m also meeting a friend at the Fish on Monday to discuss some opportunities. So things are looking good, and I still have money left over from consulting to keep me going strong.<\/p>\n
Back to the Saucer, because I can’t do a blog post without mentioning it 10 bazillion times. I previously mentioned that the best Beer Goddess ever to walk through the door will be back this weekend. I talked to her and found out she won’t be there Friday night – she’s going to my apartment building’s party and then possibly Raiford’s – but she will definitely be at the Saucer Saturday night, serving beer in a miniskirt. I know a lot of people are looking forward to seeing her again.<\/p>\n
I’ll wrap up this post with a link to Ophelia Ford’s noted quotes<\/a>. Our state senator, ladies and gentlemen.
