A new tab now adorns the top of the tbbs-land website: Resume. In this day and age, one must be perpetually for hire.
So it’s fitting to post one’s own resume on one’s own blog.
I’m one decent and eager geek. If you know/are someone looking for a good hand, I’m ready to talk. After the talking, if we’re simpatico, I’m ready to deliver.

[stags]work, life, resume[/stags]
In these days of the early 21st century, it is a good thing to be perpetually for hire. Below, my current resume in your choice of formats:
html
PDF
Barely tenable work situations, combined with living in a place one detests, compels one to seek other opportunities. Over the weekend, the search begins.
I’ve said/thought/blogged about it before, but this time, it’s for real.
So, if my small but loyal group of readers knows of anyone needing a good, blue-collar mentality sysadmin, contact me using the form in the right sidebar.
In the meantime, the propagation of my resume will commence.
Thanks.

We search the ends of the interweb here to bring you the latest in livestock on freeways. This is the tale of Christine Gamache, of Vancouver WA. Christine was driving on I-205, when she observed a 500 pound pig fall out the back of an open-top box trailer. She dodged the pig and another vehicle, stopped her car, and stood by the porker in the median until state patrol and sheriff’s officers arrived on the scene. She had no cell phone, according to the article, so it’s not clear to me how help was summoned.
Later, Gates (State Trooper), paramedics and a Clark County sheriff’s deputy joined them on the median until a man who works with livestock arrived on the scene to take the pig to safety until its owners could be located.
I presume the paramedics were called for the pig. In any event, all hands and trotters safe.

Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-GA), has apologized for her scuffling with a Capitol Police officer last week. It seems she wasn’t wearing her official Member of Congress pin, and failed to present proper identification when she attempted to enter a House office building. An officer of the Capitol Police challenged her; she allegedly became belligerent, and supposedly struck the officer, because he didn’t recognize her as being a congress member. Sheesh; what a crock. I’m just a simple guy, but isn’t it odd that in this day and age, horseshit such as this is even newsworthy?1 Some observations:
Congress members have pins? Easily bought or faked, I’ll bet. This is an ID system?
In lieu of the pin, she apparently had no other ID, or failed to present same. What arrogance on her part, to presume that just because she’s a MOC, that she should be given preferential treatment.
If you or I had tried such a stunt, we’d still be in jail.
If she in fact assaulted an officer, she should have been cuffed and hauled off as well.
Does this whole cluster-eff really require a grand jury inquiry?
It’s been said the people deserve the government they get. If true, the people are really screwed up, and we’re in deeper trouble that I imagined.

1 – It’s blogworthy though, because us blodgers are really journalists; yes, we are.
