Just Sitting At Home

I’ve started a new job a few weeks ago. I’m working for a company called Karaktr Media. I’m doing graphic design and web programming. It is a good thing that I’ve got an MBA and 10 years of marketing experience so I could become a graphic designer…have I mentioned that I started teaching myself HTML about a year ago…Odd how thing work out. They did give me a new MacBook Pro to work on so I did fall in love with my job on the first day. I can’t complain because after being out of work for 8 months, I was willing to take anything.

My beautiful wife bought me a surprise yesterday. She bought me Dan Brown’s new book called Lost Symbol. I’ve only read the first 30 pages (in a Dan Brown book that’s like 40 chapters) but I am already addicted. I love it because I suspend reality and just enjoy a good story.

I am looking forward to this fall. For some reason I really enjoy great TV shows and every fall they all start up again. Summer TV is painful. You’d think that someone at the big networks would figure out that people still watch TV during the summer. Maybe they’ll move some of the better shows to summer and not leave it to the reject programs. The worst part about fall TV is the MLB playoffs. Baseball is really lame. We get like two weeks of new episodes and then the baseball playoffs start. For some reason all the TV stations stop playing new episodes for the month of the baseball playoffs and we’re thrown back into TV rerun hell. You’d think it would be bearable with cable TV but it’s not… that just means there are more channels with nothing on.

Civilizzation is going out if business. HA! I hope I my post, Never Buy Furniture from Civilizzation, had something to do with their demise but I think that ship has been sinking for a long time. There is some kind of gratification in seeing a bad owner, manager, boss, and company reap what they sow. I don’t wish ill will on people because it’s not politically correct but I’ll never pity anyone who gets served a bit of their own medicine. I can think of a few other companies that should look into karma insurance.

Save it
