should i take this job?

Come to the dark side, together we can rule the galaxy…

At least that’s basically what I heard this morning as my meta-boss (my boss’ boss) offered me a new position in sales. Sales, yuck. The dark side of the force. It’s more dignified being a teacher, isn’t it?

Pros:
. Money. Serious money.

Cons:
. Travel more frequent, though for shorter periods.
. Stigma of being a representative. In training, they’ve no choice but to listen, and often they want to. In sales, they’re much more defensive.
. I love teaching.

Hm, that was easy.

update

Just got back from dancing.

It was disconcerting how naked I felt when Blogger was down most of today (Friday). I took the opportunity to update the me page. Check it out!

fool of a took

Is there a name for the perversion whereby one is attracted to hobbits?

I’m thinking about taking my vacation to Scotland in October. I’m trying to convince myself it’s not because of Pippin.

journel

T came up with this funny term as the French word for blog. It comes from journal électronique, or electronic journal. However, I’m now told the French (Canadian) word for blog that’s gaining in popularity is the very unfortunate blogue. I think that bites.

The fact that I like journel is an exception. I generally can’t stand the fact that, as French Canadians, we have to translate everything, when every other culture in the world is perfectly happy using the English word for stuff (or a variation thereof). In France, the stop signs read STOP. Here, they say ARRET. In Paris, you order a McChicken, or Nuggets. Here, a McPoulet, or Croquettes.

It really bugs my ass. I feel better now, thank you.

irony

This past weekend, Gord, Ced, T and I went canoe-camping on a nature reserve up north. The weather was amazing, there were lots of loons, mosquitoes, black flies and Tolkien references.

We had a great time, and even got to witness a Gord Story first hand.

(Gord Story: an anecdote about Gord doing something that lacks forethought, ending up damaging his body or property. Example: Gord once shot his VCR with a crossbow, out of boredom. Gord once blew up a big firecracker in his closed fist. And so on.)

The stillness and wild beauty of the place were awesome, and it was wonderful not logging on or hearing a single beep of anything electronic for three days. We were only disturbed by a loud bunch of scouts, which we dubbed The Orcs. However, we quickly overtook them on the first portage on Saturday and were rid of them for the rest of the day.

On Sunday, just past the far point of our loop, we came upon some rapids, in the middle of which was a large treetrunk. Ced and Gord went first, in Gord’s canoe. They weren’t in the rapids two seconds when Ced yells, “WE’RE HEADING RIGHT FOR IT!!!”. Not half a second later,

CRASH!

They smash into the trunk and both get catapulted out of the canoe with their gear (hilarious in retrospect, but quite unnerving at the time). I’m talking packs, tent, sleeping bags, my camp stove, everything. The canoe starts rolling between the rocks like a twig, with sick sounds of fiberglass smashing. Then they go around the bend and T and I can’t see them anymore.

Irony: the Orcs come out and save them, and give them a big roll of tape to fix Gord’s canoe.

Now I’m tanned, sore, covered in bugbites and incredibly refreshed.

happy birthday, canada

Monday is Canada Day. I’m off canoe-camping.

Happy long weekend, Canucks!

Chasing Amy (again) last night. Despite all the yelling, I’d have to say this is my next-to-favorite of all time (after Blade Runner). This is the one movie I know of that caters to that rare demographic, the female geek, by being a chick flick that takes place in the world of comic books and sci-fi fandom. If you’re not the type to be turned on by abundant Star Wars references (cf. the title of this post), you might not share my dismeasurate enthusiasm for it, but I’d still say it’s very entertaining to most.

When I listen to the tight, entertaining dialog of Clerks and Chasing Amy, I’m reminded of how incredibly talented Kevin Smith can be. I say reminded, because what came after Amy is comparatively unfathomably bad: Dogma (saved only by the Ben and Matt dialogs), and the loathsome, revolting waste of space that is Jay and Silent Bob (not saved by the one great “Greedo shoots first” line).

When Smith wrote a few numbers of my favorite comic book, Daredevil, I didn’t even pick it up for fear that it would be an anal raping of the originals. Still, I’m the only one I know who is still holding out hope for his upcoming movie Jersey Girl. I couldn’t even get anyone to come out to see Jay and Silent Bob.

blivit

Chuck reminded me of this word today by mentioning Kurt Vonnegut. The latter coined the word blivit in his book Palm Sunday. He defines it as “two pounds of shit in a one-pound bag.”

Incidentally, blivit is also the past participle of “to become” in Swedish.

And speaking of Sweden, yesterday I was filling out an online question/answer quiz and I was stumped by the question “is there anything special about you?” Well, I think I found it, but I’m not sure it’s special in a good way.

Bibi sent me this link to the Ikea game, where you’re given strange words and have to guess what Ikea item they are. After getting a perfect score, I was told I should get out more.

An encyclopedic knowledge of the Ikea catalog is a special thing, right?

The physics of spaghetti

I wish I could understand why it is that reheated spaghetti always tastes so much better than the freshly-made stuff? It seems this is a rule that suffers absolutely no exception. But it’s not like you add anything to it except heat, so what gives? Whoever can provide a satisfactory explanation for this gets a free plate of reheated spaghetti.

The picture is of me, about five minutes from now… good night all…

work

My job in principle: travel to exciting places, teach exciting stuff to starry-eyed, admiring masses who can’t thank me enough for my brilliance and wisdom, and leave them begging for more.

My job these days: there aren’t too many courses to give in the summertime, so do other people’s work. Travel to Baltimore, spend a sunny day inside a boardroom (starting at 6 AM) doing a sales demo to recalcitrant clients who think I care if we sell this thing or not, then return home at midnight on a Friday, just late enough to have missed swing dancing. Write tech specs, desperately trying to extract information from cryptic, elusive developers.

Now you know why I’ve blogged three times already today. Okay, I’m in a pissy mood, but that’s because it’ll probably be a week before I set foot on a dance floor again. I need a fix!
