This evening marks the start of the Jewish Year 5766.

Leshana tova to my friends and readers of the Jewish faith!

Yesterday was Pagan Pride Day, and it was lots of fun. I mingled with lots of great friends, listened to great music from Blue Knight and Scott Helland, Isaac Bonewits give a keynote speech, and picked up a couple of interesting trinkets.

Many, many congrats to Courtney Lee on winning the scholarship! I know you'll put that to good use.

On the job front, I no longer have to deal with insulting offers of $7/hour shit work from monster.com users. I'm now a receptionist and mail guy for a huge corporation. The commute is easier, the pay is slightly better, and the hours are slightly shorter than my last gig. Still have to figure out how to get to and from a couple of places, but it looks like a good gig for now.

Plus, it's nice having a steady income again. If nothing else, my household must once again come up with more interesting reasons than unemployment to despise me.

I recently looked into performing standup at the Improv. That didn't materialize, but I did spend a great hour on the phone with the guy in charge of booking new talent there. He was very helpful and eager to share tons of info with me on getting started in that particular business. I'm sticking to the odd open mic here and there for the moment, but am now a lot more comfortable about pursuing that particular goal than I was.
