Another SF Valley Monday

[cmk418]

Didn't get a lot done today. Sent my resume off to the non-profit. They e-mailed me back asking for salary requirements. I gave a figure that I thought was fair and would keep me in a way that I used to be accustomed. I have no idea whether that will be a help or a hinderance. Lots of non-profits like to keep the budgets on the low side, but after working with some, I also know that they like to drive their employees into the ground so the money has to be representative of that.

The White Sox and Angels are now out of the playoffs. Boston is in. I can't stand the Red Sox. So I guess it's Rays and Dodgers for this series and then we'll see.

I don't know if the roster is finalized or not. They cut 4 more guys today. Sad to see those guys get sent down (Beach, Crawford, Brouwer, and Aliu). They seem a little heavy on the defensive side still. I really hope that Jack Skille stays up. He did pretty good for us last year.

I'm commissioning a very small fantasy hockey league this season. Thought I'd try it out. It's kinda funny because I think I was the only one who selected their own players. I've got Ovechkin (apparently I went first in the auto-draft), 6 random guys, and 7 Blackhawks (no, it's not bias, it's confidence). I'm a little peeved that my aunt got Pavel Datsyuk because he was actually on my list. Wonder if she'd give him to me for Corey Perry?

Yes, it's still me writing this.

Writing-wise, I got my prompt for the Willow ficathon. It wasn't the one I really wanted, but there's plenty to write about with the prompt I do have - it's going to be a Firefly/Buffy Crossover. I've started an idea for the OZ Trick or Treat Grab Bag. And, does anybody else start thinking of oz_magi this soon, because I think I pretty well know what I'm going to ask for. And, no, Jia Kenmin is not involved this year. *sigh*

Ah. I was wondering about that. Good thing you're around to tell me what my characters are saying ;)!

I wouldn't call it pillow talk so much as... Billy's very good, for the most part, with dealing with Sean's assholery by smiling, but it gets to be too much even for him, sometimes. Also, they're both GUYS. So, not so much with the sweet talking!

Billy is driving me crazy, but the worst part is, I don't think he's all wrong here.

Thanks so much for all your help! I want to flesh it out more, play with Addario a bit and give Sophie's problems a little exposition. Just a few more days, I swear!

Oh, you know what? I'm kicking myself for not mentioning it earlier, but my mom works in non-profit! She organizes communities and does family outreach and shit. Want me to pass along any questions for you?

Billy is driving me crazy, but the worst part is, I don't think he's all wrong here. He's not. Wants to know why all of a sudden there's no word of a shoot out being blasted his way, Here's me telling you what your characters are feeling again. Up til this point, Sean's been pretty good about including Billy in everything. The moment that doesn't happen, Billy feels expendable. For someone who's been in Costello's organization, that carries a whole other level of meaning, and even if he doesn't remember anything, he still feels those emotions, that fear, and that's why he's reacting the way he is.

Hey, your mom's a community organizer, like Barack Obama. Pretty cool that.

I don't have any questions right now, but thanks for offering. I used to work non-profits in Development and that's what I'm applying for. The only thing is that the fundraising software that they use and I've had experience with has had 7 years of improvements while I've been doing other things, so me having experience with it in 2001 may not be the same as me having experience with it in 2008. But I'll cross that bridge if I get to it.

Sort of vaguely like when Costello told him to be on with that job and then cut him out! I get it now. Awesome!

You guys get software? Man. I think my mom has Word and that's it. Maybe some outlook or something. ;)

Actually, Mom is more like a mom organizer. She works with inner city youth to try to get them into their community in a healthy way, or something. Part of that is working with moms.
