That Carillon You're Hearing Is The Sound of A Jillion Angels Getting Wings Simultaneously

Thanks to everyone who's put in their two cents, either on the blog or in personal emails. I feel like the richest man in Potterville. Of course, I don't yet have a job, and Car Cash offered me, and I quote, "one hundred, maybe five hundred tops" for my car. But I do have a guy who's good for a rent-covering offer in a week or two, so I'll be okay for rent before anything goes too horribly wrong.

In the meantime, I am now heading out with a dozen phone and fax numbers in my wallet, and a dozen resumes under my arm, from which I have judiciously scrubbed my nascent Ph.D. (and my last vestiges of ego.) I was tempted to add a line saying, "I don't know Excel, but I do 'know' Excel, if you get my drift." But that's the problem with resumes---you're not allowed to be funny. I always come across better in person than I do on paper. More on this later.

By the way, it's been pointed out that my pictures aren't showing up in Internet Explorer or Firefox. I use Netscape, and all I did was call the photo up on my computer, select, cut and paste. If someone out there knows another way to do this, let me know. They're really nice pictures.
