January 29, 2015: Weeeeeell Yooooouuuuu’ve Gooooot Opportunity

I'm attempting to get a job in Minnesota that essentially allows me to do in person what I do online at Casa de Leche on a regular basis. I'll try to refrain from saying "This is the kind of thing I gladly do for free" in the interview.

  1. Great quote by LBJ in the Economist: If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Potomac river, the headline that afternoon would read: 'President Can't Swim'.

    1. Ditto, Spooky. Just be aware if you do make it back to MN, I won't be making it to the bars on 75% of the nights you go out.

  2. You might get a job in which you tell large groups of people that what they're doing warms your nether regions?! Then again, you'll need to find some way to stay warm if you move here...

      1. If you keep putting yourself out there, should such an opportunity arise, there's a better chance it will find you.

  3. Help me write Spooky's want ad:
    Wanted: Snarky voyeur willing to creatively pass judgment on close associates. Inquire within.

    1. Requirements:
      -Must be able to multi-task
      -Must be fluent in all manner of pop culture, including
      *movies
      *video games
      *television
      *board games
      *RPGs
      -Must be able to type 75 words per minute

      1. Applicants must be able to spot all proper uses of semicolons; improper users need not apply.

            1. Hol' the phone. Are those blueberries? That's pushing the envelope a bit.
              Half-bakeried.

  4. So, does this job involve running Survivor contests? Writing contests? Copious amounts of Werewolf games.
    But seriously, good luck!

        1. There is no mobile version. It's the same theme. This was true in the previous edition of this theme too, though something is different in deep threads.

    1. I've seen the same thing but not sure why and haven't had time (and forgot) about investigating. I've compensated by reading in landscape mode at the time.

  5. Keith Law's rankings of Twins prospects:

    2. Byron Buxton, OF - down from 1 last year

    15. Miguel Sano, 3B - No. 8 last year

    30. Alex Meyer, RHP - Up from 62.

    43. Nick Gordon, SS - drafted in June

    53. Kohl Stewart, RHP - up from 76.

    97. Jose Berrios, RHP - unranked last season.

    A little surprised Buxton didn't fall further. I think Berrios is too low, especially in relation to Stewart, whose peripherals were unimpressive. Still, 4 of 6 were drafted by TR since he came back. The Twins' bad luck in drafting helped lead to run of bad seasons, but the scouts at least like what they have done with high first-round picks.
