I'm PISSED! [on]

Joe Armon suggested that I try to get my cats used to being "indoor cats" while still here in College Station - to prepare for indoor life in Chicago. He said that it'd be better for them to crap on the carpets in this house, rather than mess up tne new place. That sounded good to me.

The problem is, you can't really specify just where cats choose to express their displeasure...

Fifty ways to leave...

I'm in the home-stretch now. I've just dropped Rob off at the airport and realize that I may never do this drive-two-hours-to-the-airport-to-drop-someone-off dealy again.

Bob Jarvis came into town for a Roast, in my honor, at church last night.

Also, I got to poke my head in on a performance of West Side Story at The Theatre Company. I was quite pleased.

And, some moving thoughts.

The Sealed Deal

Reporting from an area on the road that doesn't seem to offer very good Nextel cellular coverage... There are some audio dropouts and glitches in this post, but the main points make it through: I accepted the job with Kirkland & Ellis, and feel darned good about it.

Live. From Memphis. It's Friday Night!!

Standing on the sidewalk outside of BB King's on Beale Street, this is my first day after the last day of work [or, the First Day of Freedom].

The Last Day

This is the last day of work. Yesterday, talking with Wayne (he's out of the office today) I had the chance to spill my guts, as it were, about my good and bad experiences in the job. Catharsis.

Here's the deal...

The potential buyers for my house make an offer... It's juuuuuust right!

A Stellar Day

Driving over to meet Monica, the Davids, and Margaret at the Revolution Cafe & Bar, a contract is being written up on my house. This may be the Start of the End.

Both job possibilities have expressed the desire for a face-to-face interview when I'm in Chicago next week.

Slightly less sleazy...

I had my second phone interview with Kirkland & Ellis today. In the first interview, I spoke with Katy Posner, in the HR dept. For this interview, I spoke with two of the techies there. It helped me to feel a lot better about this as a job possibility.

My resignation is also broadcast to the whole KAMU-FM audience during the pledge drive, this week.

Brain takes a U-turn

I gained some insite into the workings of my brain when I "watched" it turn a negative-flavored thought into a positive-flavored one.

It Is Done.

It's the last day of work. What more needs to be said than what is recorded below...

Milestone Acquired

Today is a Good Day to Resign...

Sleazy Lawyers and Bankers, Part the Second

... and the rest of the story.

Sleazy Lawyers and Bankers, Part the First

I haven't posted much on the house-selling-front or the job-acquisition-front. So, here's the first part of that.

July 4th, 1776, 2005, yadda...

Watching "1776" today and listening to the book-on-tape, 1776, give me some perspective on my own adulthood.
