Hello. I realize that posts have been fairly irregular, but so has my schedule. Last week, I had an interview on for a job with a property management company in Woburn. I made it past the phone interview, so they invited me in to speak with the head of the department on Friday. My major problem with interviews, I've realized, is that I cannot get through a 30 minute interview without coming down with a SEVERE case of dry mouth. Not like a "Boy, a little sip of water would help this" kind of dry mouth, but more like a "Dear Lord, where is there a fire hose that I can drink from?" kind of dry mouth. You can actually hear my tongue clicking against the roof of my mouth. Anyway, I always forget about this strange condition until it actually starts happening, a which point I become completely distracted.

Interviewer Lady: Aside from the skills we've discussed, why do you think that you would be a valuable employee?
Me: I'm a good communicator...(suddenly realizing the terrible irony that I've set myself up for)...and uh. Ummm. Uhh. Perhaps this answer doesn't best exemplify my claim.
Interviewer Lady: I see. We'll move to the next question.

Surprisingly, the rest of the interview went very well.

I have officially entered a fantasy football league with Brendan, Mike, Jimmy, and a few people from the house. I guess I can no longer claim that I hate fantasy sports. My team name for fantasy baseball is Fantasy Sucks, which I think will add a little salt to the wound if I actually end up winning. I decided to name my fantasy football team Fantasy Still Sucks, which I thought was funny at the time. Brendan suggested that I be more creative, so I looked at my roster for some inspiration. Peyton Manning, Mike Vanderjagt, Deion Branch...aha! I'll be the Deion Branch Davidians! My excitement was lost when I realized that the name was too long by Yahoo Fantasy Football standards. Let's see...Algee Crumpler, Donald Driver, Laveranues(la-VER-nee-us)Coles...bingo! I now manage the team known as Laveranues & Shirley.
