Hell Freezes Over. Blog Leads to Job Offer.

Well, kinda. Sort of. Not full time or anything, and I have no idea if this entity would being willing to pay for my pithy writing style, but nonetheless, I am very flattered. Of course, I can't take said offer because I would have to stop being the head dorkwad of my department at my current place of employment. I've already spent my raise and had new business cards printed up. I am not allowed to moonlight.

Moreover, I would have to give up my pseudo anonymous status, which I have come to rather enjoy. I'm not really anonymous anymore. During my lunch hour yesterday someone actually shouted, "Hey! PollyPeoria! You suck!" at me as I was feasting on a Cuban wrap from Roly Poly in front of the courthouse. What are the chances that one of my thirteen devoted readers would share the same lunch hour and location as me? Felt like a bit like a minor celebrity.

Mmmm.... I'm starting to get hungry. Is it lunch time yet? I'm thinking lemongrass chicken from the Thang Ling push cart today.

You'll know you've made it when they start spitting on you!

In some cultures (like Peoria), shouting "You Suck", is just another expression of "hello".

And I'm thinking when they call me an "Ass", they are complimenting me on my outfit.
