I have entered into a gift exchange with strangers I have met on an internet message board, and I am super excited about spending money on don't have on somebody I don't know.

Todd and I went to KY to see a show by the New Pornographers. I hate the venue, and I am convinced that Todd tricked me into going by telling me it was at a different place. My feet hurt now and I can't breathe because of all the smoke and lack of ventilation. When did I turn 47 years old?

I received an e-mail today from the Insurance Company I interviewed with and they said:
Recently, you attended an interview with American Income to explore the possibility of a new rewarding job opportunity. We are sorry to learn you are not interested at this time. We believe that among the several potential applicants you were an outstanding match. If you should change your mind or find your options have changed, please feel free to contact us again in the future.

Insurance is probably one of only two fields in which I would not consider a career in at this point. (The other one is Wal-Mart.) However, it's good to know that if I do decide to compromise my integrity, I would be an excellent match. It makes me feel all warm and cozy inside.
