MrScorpio 1, Goddessless Forces Of Evil... Big Fat GOOSE EGG!
Despite the efforts of whatever, to try to stop me from going to the Job Fair today...

The fact is that I didn't let it stop me. I dressed for success and steeled my raw nerves.

With copies of my resumes in tow, I leapt into the great wintry mess and trudged on my ice caked way to the VA Beach Pavilion.

There I hobnobbed, pitched, glad handed and sashayed my way amongst the potential employers.


My goal; to work for the man. I talked to folks from FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, The Coast Guard and reps from the Military Industrial Complex.

I also dabbled outside the scope of the man... Who knows, I might be selling Nissans.

But all in all, I spread my resumes and gleaned some important info.

When I walked out, I saw that the sky was blue and that the sun was shining. The weather had cleared up, what it seemed like, for me.

I was like I had navigated a gauntlet of travails and came out smelling like a rose.

Was it all worth it? I don't know. We'll see what happens. All I know I'm back at the bosom of my homestead and the snow is but a fading memory:



I was that close to giving up.

I'm glad that I didn't.

1. Way to go, Mr. S!
I'm having the same kinda trouble, only it's not weather keeping me from going out there, it's some mysterious lack of motivation on my part. I will get over it, though, I don't have any choice if I want money to live on when I go away to college!
