No solicitors

    Speaking of irony... In my new office most of the people call realtors selling them a few on-line products.  Next to the front door is a bold sign that reads "NO SOLICITORS".  Apparently we are too busy soliciting to take solicitors. Ah double-standards, they make the world go round...

    In an interesting turn of events, I have another job. I knew a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy that had a job for me. So I'm working full-time for a company called netbiz. I'm mainly using existing templates to make personalized web pages for small businesses. I'm still working 16 hours/week for imago, so I will be a busy (albeit rich) little boy. The biggest problem with the job is that it's located in Tigard. So far it's only taken me 25 minutes to get there, but it's only been two days. Which brings me to my next point.
   
    When driving down I-5 as you leave Portland they have a misleading sign. The sign reads "Safety Corridor". Since I've been down the road before, I know what it means. This stretch of road is curvy and has lots of elevation changes. The sign, I presume, wishes you to use extra caution whilst driving through. But why call it a safety corridor. There is nothing safe about it. An unwitting driver, passing through the rose city for the first time may read the sign as an indication that things are going to be safe for the next stretch of road; the results could be tragic. Instead, I purpose they put up signs that read "Danger Corridor". People would notice that. And if that doesn't do the job, make a huge sign that says, "EXTREME FATAL DEATH AHEAD". When people's lives are at stake, you can never go too far.

    In baby related news... I was wrong, I will admit it. I had been proudly boasting to all who would listen that I am expecting a boy. I saw the ultrasound in person and there can be no mistaking it. It clearly is a girl. The doctor said that she was 99.9% sure. Other than being wrong, I am very excited about it. And not just because we will get lots of hand-me-downs from our niece.
