Milestones

The list of lasts has begun. Today is my last Monday at my current job. I've begun my last week. Today's also my last team meeting for one of the major teams I'm on. Wednesday will be my final staff meeting. Tomorrow I'm having a meeting with my boss to hand off my projects and give a status report. Perhaps it will be the last time I'll have to listen to him talk about leveraging anything or about dependencies or deliverables.

Next week will be the beginning of a long list of firsts. First Monday as a freelance writer. First week being dirt poor. First panic attack of October. All the good stuff.

I'm hoping first paying client makes an appearance soon. Otherwise there'll be a first visit to the online classifieds followed by my first utterance of "you want fries with that?"

Much luck! I have a feeling you will never utter the phrase, "You want fries with that?" ever. I hope your first paying customers show up soon, too! :) I don't see why they wouldn't, you are an extremely talented writer.

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...

Is it OK to own a Canadian?

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, written by a U.S. resident, and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative: Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexic...
