Wednesday Morning Rambly Bits

[gnomi]

-- While making French toast on Sunday, I ran out of custard half way through the last piece of challah. I therefore created what I am now calling Quebecois Toast: half French toast, half Anglo bread.

-- Entertainment Weekly did a poll recently to see who people think would be the best actor to play the next Superman. The six choices were Matt Bomer, Henry Cavill, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jon Hamm, Brandon Routh, and Tom Welling.

-- Thanks to everyone who voted in my poll yesterday.

-- Anyone looking for a technical writer? Inquiring minds want to know.

-- I think we have successfully gotten Squeaker to sleep through the night (she was doing what the medical professionals consider sleeping through the night -- 6 hours of sleep -- but I don't consider a baby who wakes up at 3 AM to be sleeping through the night). Now her biggest impediment to sleep is Muffin, ready to play, waking her up at 6:45. If Squeaker had only said, "Mommy, Daddy, I want a crib tent" ten months ago, we wouldn't be so underslept.

-- On Monday I discovered that no matter how good the map you're carrying, it is still very possible to get yourself on totally the wrong street in the Beacon Hill/West End section of Boston. While walking from Government Center to the Mass General area, I managed to almost end up on the Suffolk University campus, at the Garden (it will always be the Boston Garden to me), and in an apartment complex behind Charles St.

-- I am watching with interest the increased scrutiny of late hits/helmet-to-helmet hits in football.

-- The combination of more sleep at night and a bit more free time in the evenings is inspiring me to get into writing regularly again. Beside the Patch column, I am hoping to get back into regular fiction writing again.

It is always possible to get lost in Boston. This is why I keep an eye out for people with maps and help them if I can.

If you could still use a crib tent, we can lend you ours. (The cats have gotten used to him.)

We have one for her now, but thanks.

Brandon Routh.

Totally.

Any interest/experience in writing requirements?

Have you done anything related to product design or usability?

I recently moved to another position in the company, and while my former manager has filled the official vacancy, she's still on the lookout for someone like me.

I'll write anything. :-) Though I have little experience in writing requirements, I have written documentation that is based on requirements docs, so I'm passingly familiar weith them.

And I've done some usability with GUIs I have worked with.

Should I send you my resume?

[cheshyre]

Let me check with Sarah, first to see if she's still looking.

I'll get back to you on this tomorrow.

Unfortunately, that req has been filled.

But take a look at http://www.ebscohost.com/careers/ - there are a couple editor positions listed; if either sounds interesting let me know and I'll see what I can do.

[BTW, don't let the Ipswich location throw you; the company is right next to the commuter rail station.]
