Q&A

14 Jan 2005 | 4 Got Questions?
Well, I know you guys love to stay well informed on my life, so I figured it was a pretty good time to offer an update. I'm going to do this in the form of an interview because I just feel like convers[at]ing with myself. I'm a pretty good conversationalist when it comes to talking to myself, methinks.

What are you up to lately?
In a word, nothing. This probably doesn't come as a big surprise to many of you, but despite public perception, I did spend a lot of time doing various things the last few months and it's been nice to do nothing. But that was my answer "in a word" because I've actually been doing some stuff that I've been wanting to do for a long time. I'll spare you all the boring details. For now.

You got a job yet?
No. Despite my answer to the previous question, I am actively looking and everyday I submit at least 2-3 applications. The search got a little dry towards the end of December, but I'm actually starting to hear back from some that I applied for back in early December and I'm finding more and more promising opportunities everyday. Must be the new year hiring kick kickin in.

Are you worried about not having a job yet?
No, because I have complete faith in what God is doing in my life. The plans I'd been making for myself had me working as early as the end of November (yes before I was done with classes!). That just goes to show you how little I know. To be honest, having the last couple of weeks to catch up with myself has been such a blessing, and I know that God won't just leave me hanging.
11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD , "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29: 11-12

Why can't people leave comments anymore? Edit: Problem solved.
Hmm. Well, I don't know if you know this, but the application that allows me to write this junk is homemade. Someone threw poison in the old batter ("site defaced"), so rather than try to get out all the poision, I decided to work on a new recipe (which was already in progress). I'm trying to make the new recipe very flexible for little tweaks here and there as I go along, so that's slowing down the development process a bit. But I promise I'll have comments up soon.

Do you know where I can have some decent Mexican food whilst listening to live Mexican music?
Actually, it's funny you should mention that because I do. El Dorado on Thursday nights from 6:30-9:00. I get the #10. In the interest of making sure I can still find a seat on Thursday nights, I won't give you the address. But if you do some research and some Googling, you could probably figure it out.

Umm, well I think that's all the questions I have for now, is there anything else you'd like to say?
Thanks for chattin with me. Don't be a stranger.

Comments have returned to thedustin.com! And from now on, your email address will never be shared!

As soon as I can figure out how to do it, I'll transfer all the old comments over here.

Any hope of resurrecting scribnotes?

that is an excellent question! everytime you see something change on thedustin (most recently commenting, entry author) it means Scribnotes is that much closer to coming back. My goal is to have existing accounts back up by the end of this week.

I like the #27 myself if only for the fun of mispronouncing quesadilla on purpose.
