I had a free custard pastry for breakfast...you wanna fight about it?

In a few minutes I'm going to get dressed all spiffy to go my interview at Comcast. I'm sure it will be positively comcastic. Or not. The job pays well and all, but it's hella expensive to get to, if the actual job is at the place where the interview is. I don't know what this town is thinking, not putting busses near all the jobs. So I have no clue if I'll even be able to take the job on the off chance that they offer it to me. But my job developer is driving me there and I have to go. I am told that they drug test at Comcast as well. This is bad for me, of course. Even if I didn't smoke for 6 months, I would still turn up positive because I am losing wieght, THC in the fat cells and all that there.

My computer didn't have any cool games on it until yesterday. I found a no-frills free solitaire I like. Plus I got this game that like Simon. In fact, it is Simon and you play it right on the computer. When I got my very first (and only other computer before this one) computer, it had this game on it called "Letter Invaders". Mind you, it was an Apple IIc, pronounced: (AP-pul-too-SEE). It's where letters fall from the top and you press them to make them go away. It was supposed to teach people how to type better and use home row keys which I don't think they even teach anymore. Anyway, the new version of Letter Invaders was really really hard. I'll let you know if I get better at it after I practice more.

Here's a think I learned at Snopes that says how you can disable your cell phone afteer someone has stolen it. But you have to do this beforehand. That Snopes!!

Good luck on the interview. If they want you to test, use synthetic urine.

or I could just sober up.

But seriously folks, thanks! The interview went fairly well and I was even honest about my criminal history. But it's a lot of damn money to get out there and back. The cab one way is $25, but if I qualify for A-ride, it'll be more like $10.

I recomend using synthetic urine anyway, just for the principal. Drug testing is an invasion of privacy.

Meh.

Yeah, I'd never heard of that before.
Good ol' Snopes.

It didn't work on my Samsung Sprint phone, nor on my Motorola Nextel phone.

I have a Cingular Nokia and it worked for me.

I wonder what the perimeters are.

Hopefully, the interview produces some results - Comcast is a good company, except when they put things on our poles, then they are an interesting lot to deal with.

Did you have to go all the way to Southfield or Livonia? I know they have some bigger offices there.

Nope. There's a super mega Comcast building off of Zeeb road on the other side of town from me. It is whomping huge too, they have a gym and showers and a gameroom and acres of cubicles. Huge, i tells ya!
