Riding the Short Bus

I had an interview this morning for a permanent position with my current client. It was for a specialist Java Architect position for which I am qualified. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure I came across as at least slightly retarded and there's no way I'm going to get that position, despite the manager being an old high school classmate and ex 8th grade foosball partner. There's only 3 people interviewing for it so perhaps they will be more retarded than I, but I doubt it.

The rain has stopped... for now... but it will be back and last until Friday. I'm hoping for a nice weekend finally. I have not mowed my lawn in 11 days now. It is a wee bit long now, in the 12-15" height and my dogs are actually getting lost in the backyard. I see some raking in my future and I'm not too excited about it. Maybe tonight.

Thunderstorms this afternoon - still - if it can hold off I can get the back yard mowed before I'm forced to burn it (which will not happen because it's too wet).

Nope, t-storms are tomorrow, rest of today looks really good.

I think tonight is lawn mow night gentlemen!

It's been pushing 80 the last few days out west, my lawn gets mowed about every 8 days. Of course it's supposed to rain this weekend.

Well, I tried. Right as I got out there to mow the next storm system came blasting in, forcing me back inside.
It's sunny this morning, I seriously thought about mowing and then coming to work. For about 10 seconds...

Next chance - Friday afternoon.

Thanks Alison, you're probably right and I'm holding out hope the other two people came off as slightly more retarded.
