Full Day Recap

Last time I checked in, I had lots to do. 

Lunch with former coworker.  We were at the Modern Cafe in NE Minneapolis.  For you foodie readers, it's pretty good.  I had a very interesting and good mac and cheese.  They also only do imported sodas, save for Diet Coke.  I got the Jarritos Mandarin. 

But it was good to catch up and he has a few contacts that might be useful for getting my foot in the door.  He also offered to be a reference and to inflate his title as needed for me.  Unfortunately, we didn't really work together on any projects so a rec would be him parroting what I say on my resume.

Then I had what I'm calling an inconsequential interview with a recruiter.  I really hope I don't have to be a contractor with his company.  It just doesn't feel right, though I'm sure that I'll be willing to ignore that in a few months when I run out of savings.  Surprisingly, he told me that some of the employees there love being contractors.  I don't know why though.

And while I did buy the ingredients for Beef and Broccoli yesterday, I didn't cook it.  We instead went to a friend's house to watch the Twins game.  Maybe they'll win when they're back here.

I'm listening to New Rules by Bill Maher, which is kind of a lame book with him saying, "NEW RULE" and then a short rant on stupid people or something that sucks; this is repeated over and over.  A good light read I guess.

This morning, we'll be having overnight oatmeal, which is a recipe from Good Eats' Alton Brown.  Basically, you put steel cut oats in a slow cooker with some dried fruit and let it go overnight.  We've made it a few times before and I would recommend it to all of you as a good hearty breakfast. 

You know, this post was very boring.  Sorry about that.
