Funny Blog Find

I was looking for the Rubber Ducky Nativity when I stumbled across this blog: Going Jesus: The Cavalcade of Bad Nativities. It's along the lines of the Bad Vestments Blog - they post a pic of the bad nativity and make a snarky comment or two. Check it out.

Wow. Job Review and Updated News

Well.
First, my Job Review. I love my new job. It's very busy, and very intense, but they parked me in front of a computer, essentially said, "here's the software. Break it and tell us how you did it" and let me go to it.
This. Is. GREAT. I can break things and find out how they work and WHY they work that way, and I don't have to fix it. It's a great place to work, too - the people are very friendly, the dress code is...incredibly lax ("please wear clothes.") ... I've been calling it "California Casual".
Footwear optional.

And I just got the news that the Awful Office ( a/k/a "the previous job") came in and announced that they were shutting down the project and they gave everyone 2 weeks' notice - TODAY.

Okay, God, I might not be always thrilled with Your timing, or HOW you do things, but...thanks.

Thanks for keeping me at least marginally sane through all that crap. Thanks for the way things worked out. Thanks for my AWESOMELY COOL NEW JOB.
And thanks that I didn't have to freak out about "ZOMG what am I going to do now".

Announcement

I.
GOT.
THE.
JOB!!!!!!!!

Coolest. Demo. EVER.
