JOb Interview Update

Gonzaga would be an awesome place to work. I won't know til before Thanksgiving - they have another person to interview. There are interesting circumstances behind the job opening... but it seems that they have two folks to replace. Not sure if that means they are hiring two folks.

They emphasize teaching highly (which works for me)... it's a pretty campus on the banks of the Spokane river. Spokane itself is cool. There are some really neat architecturey new buildings and nice old masonry/brick stuff to. No Indian restaurant apparently but since I lived most of my life not even liking Indian food - that's only so much of problem.

Anyway- don't wanna spend any more time thinking about Gonzaga since I know I will be disappointed if I don't get the job.

I'm in love... with Barack of course

just caught a bit of him on 60 minutes. I'm a moderate in love.... Pragmatism rules. I love the Daily Show's bit about 'Greatness Watch' (or something like that) with a tentative B.O. on Mt. Rushmore.

HOLY CRAP - we elected a guy whose middle name is Hussein - on top of that 'other' issue (har har har). But I guess we did manage to move that name out of the forefront. Man Barack-star could have a STROKE and still be more eloquent than Shrub.

I can't imagine what this is gonna be like - White folks might learn about Black hair. I remember that being revelatory. Wonder when the girls'll have a hair do (or Michelle) that folks decide is too 'ethnic'.

So I was gonna write about my job interview but I am watching this 60 minutes episode and - wow, I think I know what folks meant by Camelot.
