Well, that was a waste of time...

The second interview was a bust. Apparently I give a great interview, but since I don't have a degree in either business or finance, and don't apparently have the same financial income as the rest of the "leaders" in their scope, I'm not invited to their little party. So, I'm not going to be escaping from Splat unless I get fired, and then it'll end up being to Burgerville or some other inoccuous place that pays dick for wages and makes you work like a dog for it. yay me.


In other news, while Speedboy was honored this weekend for acting very adult (he got an award from the Prince and Princess of the Summits for choosing to walk away from some goading kids rather than explain how to breathe fire), I found him getting up quickly from our computer today when I got home from the interview... Turns out, even though he doesn't have permission to play on the internet unless we're there (no, we DON'T have babysitter-ware, we believe in actually being WITH him if he decides to go on, so we can tackle issues as they arise - also, his grades aren't high enough for that kind of privelage - and yes, it IS a privelage, not a right), he decided to do just that. A friend of his put up a video on YouTube.com, and we'd told him we would sit down with him and watch it when we came back from the event. We were all bushed last night, so didn't watch it. BUT, he decided to go surfing today, taking what he thought was advantage of an empty house...


So, we're passwording the computer now. Thankfully, you cannot get onto it without a password, due to the operating system we're running, so we shouldn't have this type of issue any further. And, Speedboy is grounded for the day, so he can think about his actions. Yay him.

just be thankful he wasn't sitting w/ his buddies putting online personals ads up, stating he was 24 with a 4-yr. degree and in the navy.

welcome to my world, where EVERYTHING internet-related is password-protected...
