It’s been two weeks since I started working at ye olde online retailer. Things are going well. Everyone I work with has been super nice. My boss is great. These first two weeks have been about learning their database. I only started to do “real” work late last week. It’s 100% straight up SQL, no…
On Choosing
Today I made a choice. I decided to take a job at Overstock.com instead of One on One. I’m super duper excited about the new job. Who wouldn’t be. I would have been excited about either job, really. Let’s break it down a little… Overstock offered slightly more money and better benefits. Overstock is closer…
Job Search
Here’s a list of places I’ve looked since the layoff on Aug 18th. Monster.com Dice.com CareerBuilder.com Craigslist.org Overstock.com University of Utah State and Local governments At this point, I’ve sent out over 60 resumés. Of those, where do you think I got a response back for an interview? One from an ad by a small…

Brakes!!!!
Originally published at Kickin’ the new Kuh-nowledge. You can comment here or there. Took my car to get a checkup today. Just your normal maintenance. Was told that I need brakes… and a battery. Unfortunately, that will have to wait until I have more money. At the very least I need to get a second…
Brazil was Awesome
Originally published at Lalato.com. You can comment here or there. Liz and I had a wonderful time in Brazil. Pictures are forthcoming (though we didn’t take all that many this trip).
