The sickness has subsided and I am now ready to renew my blogging. San Francisco has been pretty good to me the past week with the weather continue to be mostly sunny and in the mid-60s. No earthquakes yet but, that's only a matter of time.
I took a job with San Francisco's largest hardware store, starting this Saturday. I didn't particularly want to, frankly I thought I was long past the "Yes, sir. No, sir" with a fake smile and denim apron. Here I am, though, ready to start this again. I'll be relegated to the paint department. Which is fine with me, as I won't have to meet everyone (the store appears to have 100 employees). Paint is simple enough and I get the added joy of getting to watch the shaker do its thing. It's the simple things in life, really.
This is all until I find a nice office job. Which sometimes looks very promising and sometimes it looks like an exercise in futility. I always have the skills but, never the office experience. The fact that I have an MA and that shows I can handle a computer and interaction with other never seems to occur to recruiters. We'll see, something will come along here. I'll be okay.
I don't know my schedule past 9am on Saturday. Should I have inquired further?

Can you wear your fedora while working in the store? Because that would be pretty sweet.
I'm here.
That would be pretty cool. However, I'm guessing they'd frown on that. Then everyone would want to wear their hats to work.

Hi there.
I haven't "seen" you in a while. I hope everything is going well.
