Korea

Korea is on. I am looking for a job now. I hope to start either two or three months from now. Hopefully I can get all my ducks in a row and manage to land in a good place. It's an excellent opportunity, even if it is not without risks. But the opportunity and experience are just too cool to pass up. Not just making money, but the chance to travel to another culture, learn another language.

The Flag II

Well, the flag did not make it into the show. Bummer. I have tried so many things to get this out there, including working with a contact in Germany, Wilfred, who sometimes facilitates selling art. It was his idea for him to try and sell it to a German collector after he saw it. I don't know what to do now, really. I'm not good at marketing myself or my art. That's why galleries take the percentages they do, right? But how to get a gallery to respond? I just don't know. It was already in a local show in Falmouth a while back, but I think that the only visitors were the artists, their families, and friends!

Well, I've been working on it for this long, so I'm not going to give up now.

Work is beyond frustrating right now. I wish the CAT tool was a physical thing that I could wring by the neck. Too bad it's just a computer program. Now, as for those who fill out the CAT forms......

In Four Minutes or Less

Still waiting for the Comcast deal to come through. They pushed out the final date again. Comacast is currently hiring for a dispatcher in Seattle, but of course, I would have to quit and start new with Comcast because the buyout is not yet final.

Thinking about flying out and staying with Dana, my closest friend from college, for a vacation. It would be a hectic visit. Fly into Seattle, Hopefully set up a meeting with Shawn to talk about his DXArts program at the UW. Shoot over to Spokane to visit my Grandma K. and Pat if possible, and make it to Lincoln City OR, to visit Jay. Gotta visit with Jay. Need to see both of my big brothers. And party with Dana in Wenatchee or Leavenworth, too!

I've also been thinking about teaching English as a foreign language abroad. Having lived for a year in Sweden, I know what a wonderful, tough, and rewarding experience it can be. So the reality check for all of this is, can I afford it?

I'm over my four minute limit. Off to dispatch some cable. It's getting ugly. The simulcast launch has made everything crazy again. Can we just tell everyone to tighten their fittings on all the cable connections? Who knew a radio signal could cause such havoc on t.v.? And on UPN, no less? I mean, if it weren't for Jeopardy I wouldn't know the station! :)
