Captain, impulse, and anyone else - I work for a good-sized company that currently has 95 job openings across the US, and usually has about that many. Send me a direct message and we can figure out if one of them is a good fit.

Welp, my wife just got laid off. Their major client decided to completely pull out of her entire region, so her job no longer exists. We were planning to redo our budget soon anyway, and she wasn't overly thrilled to work there, so this will end up being a blessing in the long run, but not ideal for the moment. Also, I used to live three blocks from the live venue where the first Orlando shooting took place, and not so far f rom the nightclub. While I'm no longer in Orlando, that attack feels personal. Freakin' psychos. I will be thinking about your wife as she prepares herself in finding a new job that will be a blessing for both of you!

Thanks for the kindness guys. It's not a devastating situation since my income is the primary one, anyway, and she's been wanting to find something else, but you prefer to make those kinds of decisions on your own time and in your own method. We will definitely need to examine our spending and make some cuts. We spend way, way more than we need to already on unnecessary things, so this will force some focus and prioritization which I've been wanting to do but not finding the time for. Well, here it is!

Woke up to the news out of Orlando. Still trying to process it all and feeling a profound sadness. Not sure I can form the words to express anything about this at the moment. -M I cried on and off again all day yesterday, and in the evening I tried working through my anger at the gym. I spent two hours doing chin-ups, curls, and lots of hitting and kicking boxing bags. In the end I sat on the floor with a sympathetic "straight ally" who also felt horrible. This morning, my body remembered that it's 45 years old. I can barely move.

Thanks for the kind words, you guys.
The Orlando shooting has been sitting on my mind these past two days, but I haven't been able to process it. I feel a numbness at every turn I try and imagine the horror the club patrons must have felt. It's an absolute nightmare scenario.
On top of the massacre, I was also stunned by the news of the murder of singer Christina Grimmie, also in Orlando only days earlier; she was shot on stage, the murderer ended up taking his own life as well.
My thoughts go out to the citizens of Orlando, I truly hope they'll collectively stay strong and somehow overcome the poisonous violence of these deranged individuals.

I believe I read that Grimmie was shot while signing autographs after the show, not on stage, but it's not as if that makes it any better. So shocking because that's not a bad neighborhood at all.

The Orlando incident that left 50 dead people is beyond unthinkable and I'm so sadden when I heard this news after being gone most of the day with family and friends who have no idea when this thing happen. My hearts and thoughts goes to the families that lost their loved ones and the citizens of Orlando Florida going through this horrible detail. I'm stunned by all this ... I am not stunned. A shooting happens every week in the US. More. 133 in the past 164 days.

Today I get the keys to my first very own appartment! Took me long enough, having lived with relatives up til now. Yay! My own pad! It's a really nice place, too, living room w/ two bedrooms, nice neighbourhood, rent is cheap, and it's closer to where I work. Now I just need to build a batcave to aid me in my crime fighting. Congrats!

Lol. It's quaint how my 13 year old son is more grossed out by the PG-13 sex scene of Underworld 2 than vampire and werewolves ripping each other and other humans apart. Don't let him stumble upon actual porn.

Arghhhh, I've just been offered €500 for a record I paid less then €5 for years ago and had almost forgotten about, but now that I listen to it to check its condition, I find it's really great... What to do what to do?!!!! www.popsike.com/LP-EGISTO-MACCHI-ARTI-E-MESTIERI-LEONARDI-RECORDS-SL26-RARE-LIBRARY/111986545684.htmlMinimal modern jazz, haunting slow funk, sinister beats, cheer greatness for this extremly limited library record probably never to be repressed from one of Morricone's main collaborator.

I am not stunned. A shooting happens every week in the US. More. 133 in the past 164 days. That's terribly demoralizing, almost as much as the fact that any speech by our President that alludes to guns or gun violence invigorates colossal sales of the wretched things. He's in line to be the most successful inadvertent advocate of private gun ownership in the modern age. None of this is President Obama's fault of course, but I cringe each time (is it 16 or 17 now) that he has had to make a statement in the wake of some unimaginable horror involving a lunatic and his gun. I'm at the point where I wish he would just not address it at all. We know nothing is going to change, so maybe his silence will keep a few weapons collecting dust in the "Sporting Goods" section of some rural Wal-Mart. Or maybe Obama should embrace assault rifles, a kind of desperate, reverse psychology. An empty, transparent "chicken in every pot" gambit that forces the opposition to retreat toward something benign, say a *Thumb War. *The nomenclature "Thumb War" is rightly capitalized in this context because it is declared.
