Quick! It's almost September!

Just wanted to say hello to everyone. Right now I have started work at my new job at a university press. I am learning all the fun-ness of paperwork right now. We are mostly unpacked and missing lots of furniture in the living room (so it is a big mess right now). Since gas has jumped to $3.15 a gallon, I am glad we settled on the apartment complex that is close to the bus I can take to work. I can go to work on the city's dime...or buck (whichever is closer to the actual fare price :). (Where is my electric car when I need it?!?)
I hope the price of gas doesn't make you poor.
\|/(`.')d peace!

No New Posts?

If you are someone who, from time to time, likes to check out erraticwords, and you have been disappointed by the lack of new posts, I would like to apologize. I recently got a job offer with a press, and we are in the stages of moving and getting ready for the job. However, I do have a little *anecdote* I can share (although, usually anecdotes are funny, and I wouldn't say I find this humorous). I was actually driving to my interview for this press I got the job offer from when this happened. My brother was with me, so this makes it slightly more annoying and odd. A big car was passing me on my left, and since I was on I-94, that wasn't anything new--there is a ton of traffic on that road, and lots of cars had already passed me that day. As it started to get into my line of sight, I noticed that it was a big suburban (if you know anyone who owns a suburban, they *usually* are a certain type of people--if you are someone who owns a suburban, than you are that person ;), and then I noticed this big, beefy arm was pressing a sheet of paper up against the window on the passenger side. So I read it:
Show me your boobs

I had many reactions (none of them actually fulfilled their request), but what I really wanted to do was write my own paper that would have said:
you first

If you know me personally, then you know this incident outraged me. For those of you who don't know me, I'll spare you the tirades until a later time.

:) We'll be around more at the end of the month. Please bear with us as we move all of our crap halfway across the state.
