Roswell Food and haircutCategory: body
Yesterday, I got really hungry and decided to see just how far I could push snack time. I wanted to eat more than two thousand calories just to see what it felt like to be a super fatass.
Here was my snack of over 2000 calories
Chocolate Milk ~420 calories
Combos ~1170 calories
Gummi Candies ~195 calories
Orange Juice ~240 calories
Necco Wafers - no pictures but around 300 calories
So like over 2000 calories it was for only about $7. Too bad it was such dicusting food. Combos taste good but they must be so sick for you.
My arm is much buffer now. I know you body builder types are saying what that is a stick but hey someday I will beat the shit out my worst enemy with it. Who are you worst enemy and how many more time do I have to press metal.
I cut off my crazy mad scientist hair. I went back to doing it myself. It takes 5 minutes instead of 2 hours.

Decisions, decisionsCategory: work
The top of my semi-outdated ( I have made so much new stuff) says:
I am looking for a challenging full-time PHP/SQL/XML/JS/AJAX web programming/design job with benefits such as health insurance in my home town of Buffalo, NY.I have an amazing web development job in Buffalo, NY. Now I want one that pays me more than $50,000.
I changed it this because I was sick of job offers that were less than what I had going on. I mean who goes in that direction.
Then I got this email today.

Perl MySQL')
I am looking for a knowledgeable, creative and self-motivated person in Buffalo with

From what I see online, it looks like you may be the perfect candidate, except that you seem to already have a job at Roswell Park. However, I think this opportunity may be far more interesting to you and offers a lot more potential, as far as long-term growth. It is also a work from home position, which may or may not be more appealing to you.
Let me know if this is something you might be interested in and we can discuss everything in more detail.
Thank you,
Mitch
Mitch,
I may be interested in your position. I believe you are correct when you said, "it looks like you may be the perfect candidate for the job." I have a lot of experience and capability that I could transfer to that position.
At this point I would like to learn more about the nature of your company and more importantly the long term prospects of what you are proposing. Google returned no results for ("command solutions" buffalo) and webcommand.com appears to just be a list of links by associated by keyword.
While money might lure my interest to a new project, the longterm stability and benefits of my current Programmer/Analyst position at Roswell also have to be factored in.
Hope to hear from your soon.
Thank you for your time,
Paul Visco
I wonder where this will go. I imagine nothing will rip me away from Roswell.
I totally feel so dumb for spelling their website wrong when trying to look it up. But for once I was spelling the word right command has two Ms. HE wrote back to explain that COntent MANagement and Distribution. Then it made sense.
Their site is pretty slick.

That's "comand" with 1 "m" ...
