rowr?

On Thursday I discovered that maybe being a Kent State graduate will do something for me after all. I got a definite nibble from the Lionbridge vendor manager, who said he was all for hiring Kent State grads because he knows my ex-localization professor, and said I should definitely send him email when I got back. So I did, and if everything goes the way I wish it would, I might get contract work from Lionbridge. I've sent them my resume twice now, but I went through the internet application form, so who knows where the file actually landed?

So, possibly, rowr. It certainly can't hurt to try. (I was falling asleep an hour ago and caffeinated myself, and now that it's kicked in, I'm bouncing off the walls and looking for something to do. Or at least something to do that doesn't involve beating my head against a certain committee chair's schedule.)

A propos of nothing, if I'm going to make bean soup, I probably ought to buy beans.

Yay hopefully. That would be a GOOD THING(tm)

BTW, having missed the boat yet again on a house we saw this weekend because we took one whole day to think about it, we are going to see the last 2 houses currently on our list tomorrow right after work. So, no climbing tomorrow. Very sorry. I just really want to get this done with. Perhaps this weekend? Or for that matter, what are you doing on Friday during the day (since I suspect you have that off just like I do)

I thought I was going to work on Friday, since I completely forgot it's a holiday. Maybe I'm going climbing on Friday instead?

I realize you are, in all likelihood, just making soup. However, philosophically speaking that's rather profound.

Correct, twice. I want to make soup, but the other observation is true too.

Yay for contract work!

What kind of bean soup?

[identity profile] dchenes.livejournal.com 2006-11-07 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Several, actually. What I generally do is go buy one of those 14-bean soup kits and throw out the artificial ham-flavored powder packet. Then I cook the beans and throw in a can of diced tomatoes, possibly some meat if I've got any, and whatever else I feel like at the moment by way of herbs and spices (garlic, rosemary, bay leaves, basil, etc.).

That sounds tasty!
