And the official word is in...

I have the job!

I start Monday. All I know right now is the salary, which is totally decent. Local job, local company... this R0X0Rz

And now for the friends-only version of my previous post...

In your face, HSBC!!!

In a way I have to thank the cowardly monkey fuck that fired me or I would never have been available for this job. Nonetheless I'll be a little more prudent about what goes in my public posts this time around. I plan to hold onto this job, thanks.

I am so stoked. This means I can actually pay off my bills. And Ivana's bills. Connor and Kyla are going to have a good Christmas. I can buy more fun black suits. With a few years of steady income under my belt I can buy a house. And most importantly, I can get a ring for Ivana...

And speaking of bills, take a look at today's horoscope:

You could win an unfair fight, but what's the point? There's no honour in sending someone else home with crushed spirits. Pay on time to avoid the unwanted attentions of a collections agent.

Guess I should catch up on my accounting now...

Snake Oil in the 21st Century!

OK, it's post American Thanksgiving time so the pre-Christmas spam is coming in fast and furious now. This one just made me laugh. A hundred years ago whoever sent this would likely be standing on a soapbox at the county fair...

Protect yourself from Small pox and Anthrax Naturally

Colloidal Silver is being proven to be stronger than other antibiotics in fighting off virus and germs. Order a free report today which list the different ailment colloidal silver has shown success with such as small pox, anthrax, and minor problems such as common colds, Epstein bar virus, infections and more.
Below is a quote from The Daily News, November 8, 2001. (page8)
"Research is underway at Brigham Young University, where a silver compound is under serious study as an all purpose drug. Comparisons of the silver compound to the common antibiotic tetracycline showed the silver worked as well or better against 11 germs, scientist say."
Colloidal Silver was the antibiotic of choice in the early 1900's, ... blah, blah, blah

I mean, really, they actually admit they are selling pre-WWI snake-oil! Colloidal Silver... meaning really tiny bits of plain old silver suspended in water? ROFL! They are clearly betting that no one knows what "colloidal" actually means. Classic snake-oil tactic. Hmmm... maybe if I suck on my sliver rings I won't get sick anymore.... bwahahahaahahaa!!!!

Hehehe - I actually *am* Transylvanian...

The Evil Criminal Test
Congratulations, you're Elizabeth Bathory!
Hailing from sunny Transylvania, your first blood-related incident was when you stabbed a servant girl in the face with a pair of scissors for underperforming. Some of the red spray landed on your hands, and as you washed it off, you noticed that it left your skin fresh and young looking. From then on you were convinced that the blood of young girls was the secret to eternal youth.
Rather than killing girls outright by stabbing them or slitting their throats, you enjoy torturing them for weeks on end by pricking them with needles or prodding with sharp spikes - all to bathe in their blood. You've killed over six hundred women, all without raising a peep from the authorities.

Which Evil Criminal are You?

Another One
