The news of the next couple of days is I have a second interview at that human services agency that AmazonRed13 had directed me to ages ago... I report there tomorrow at 10am and face a friendly two-person firing squad. My insider has been putting in the good word for ages now and by all accounts, unless I have some unforeseen Tourette's episode, I most likely have the gig. 
I'm not going to jinx it too much but, I'm in dire need of making more than the near-nothing I'm taking home now.
Yesterday I hung out w/ DarkRabbit, taking a dunk in the pool I had some small hand in helping with... Due to some of his temporary parole restrictions, he's not able to post his usual entries though we'll be addressing a bit of that in the next week. DR's also intersted in having a few people at his place for the odd non-commital pool/bbq type thing. That may be brought up for discussion in group or on his page.
Sunday also found me performing house painting favors at my cranky aunt's house... I say favor as at one point, I was to be paid for my time, supplies and gas (at times, a round trip is 60 minutes of driving). The humidity of last week prevented me for knocking off of a fair amount of work that I'd wanted to just finish. Our next huddle will most likely be covering times that I'll be able to get inside to clean tools, etc. Hopefully another topic will be her working full-time again leading to throwing for my gas expenses.
I'd hold my breath but, I might die before it gets me anywhere.
The past week has had some interesting introductions to familiar faces... I'd been a fan of the Tech TV channel, and specifically the show The Screensavers, prior to their being absorbed by G4. Some of the former on-air talent has popped up in podcasts which seems to be a logical enough transition for the geek set. 3rd gen hosts, Kevin Rose & Alex Albrecht, started the Diggnation Podcast for Digg.com, a tech news website that depends on social-bookmarking and non-hierarchical editorial control for stories and content. The pre-buyout cast returned to form (and theme song) with This Week in Tech.
As a undoubtedly more interesting aside, the other podcast I'd been listening to and thought well worth bringing up is Coverville. I'd had a discussion w/ (the hopefully temporarily greyed) RxQueen. She'd introduced me the site, The Covers Project, which is a huge database of cover songs and the original artists and those who've covered them. The basis on the aforementioned Coverville is a 30-45 minute radio show based on cover songs...that's it. The hosts spins stuff on themes sent in by listeners, new releases or randomness pulled out of his ass. Ultimately I have five words: Tons of Cheap Trick covers!
Lastly is a brief shout about this Sunday's SGCT trip to Lake Compounce... I've mentioned in-group about carpooling, meet-ups, who's coming and who's being remarkable vague. In the next week, I'll be dropping by member pages throwing out inquiries of attendance and the like. If you like me, you'll either beat me to it by posting here or inserting your name as watching the event. Those who don't will be disappointed when they wander around the park by themselves.

Thanks. Not sure if I'd be interested in either, quite frankly. But, I appreciate the insight. I'd really rather not work in restaurant, if I can help it. I'll check with Ben and see what he knows.

Very true. We'll see.
