But it was Glorious in its epicness

So maybe you have, maybe you haven't, read my last blog and I'm sure if you did could realize that things weren't exactly going to my liking. And you'd be right. But last night I was given a gift from the gods, a rube to stoke the flame and allow me to unload all the BS that's been sticking in my craw. I ain't saying it was right, but someone was due some crappy karma, and apparently I was the person who had had enough and unLOADED a boatload last night.

I won't give the details, I will only say that for the first time in a long time I woke up smiling. And it's because all that toxic crap is outta my head. Thank goodness for small favors and idiotic people. I don't believe I will be getting anything bad back to me, because the pendulum needed to swing my way. And yesterday was a fine start.

Interview that went well? Check. Other potential jobs getting stirred up across the land? Check. Lunch with one of my boys that reminded me of the good ol' times and all the stupid crap we used to do? Check. Unleashing the fury of the Curse of Competency on someone who kept poking the lion in the cage? You damn right.

Oh, on top of all this, I was rejected for another job in Boston. Oh well. I don't think I could work for the guy anyway. Why? Well, a small microcosm of stupidity is all it takes for me. How are you going to be the CIO of a new web-based venture, place the job on LinkedIn, put the email address to contact you on your LinkedIn profile, and then after 2 follow-ups while telling me the job is filled that that particular email address isn't one you normally check??? Is ya stupid, slow or new to how technology works, dummy? That way I know how to yell at you. Look, I'm unemployed yet manage to have 2 email addresses that both go to my cell phone. My, how clever?! I have my normal email address and the email address that goes to this blog, and nary the two shall meet. But if you were to email me at the address for this blog, I'd get it. Like, within an hour. Yet a CIO for a web startup company can't figure this crap out? And you wonder why I could get frustrated? Ha! Well, it's all water under the bridge now.

You can't get this smile off my face, and don't you dare try. Happy Friday!
