HEY GUYS

WE SURVIVED THURSDAY

And now I have freshly made peppermint-tea ice cream in the freezer, and fresh bread for gashouse eggs for dinner tonight.

And I'm hauling a bunch of stuff home from work so I get to take a taxi, and tomorrow I'm going to the Art Institute (!!) to see the exhibit of Caldecott book art and the Victorian photocollage and the freshly opened Apostles Of Beauty.

And it's member discount week, so I am going to treat myself to the fancypants restaurant instead of the cafeteria for lunch. I love the fancypants restaurant!

So, a lot of you asked for the recipe for/location of the peppermint-tea ice cream. WELCOME TO MY KITCHEN!

Basically all the ice cream I make comes from one recipe.

It may not shock you to learn that after six months of intense RPG action, the Askworld kids have kept in contact. Because we both work for nonprofit agencies, snaxcident and I tend to have the occasional "Hey, NFPs could use this!" moment, which I swear is all that I intended when I sent an innocent email...that prepared me for WORLD DOMINATION.

Between this and getting metaquoted last night, my conquest of the internet continues apace.

darthhellokitty has given me an IDEA. I should have had this idea months ago, but now that I have it, I'm going to release it onto the internet.

WELCOME TO THE SAM'S CAFE JOB FAIR AND TEMP AGENCY. Our motto is, "Being unemployed is some bullshit. Give me a job."

HERE IS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. This post is set up with screened comments. If you are unemployed or soon to be so, post here with your job search. Like so:

HI, MY NAME IS Slim Shady Sam.
I COME FROM France Chicago.
WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO BE A Ninja Office Boy, a dramaturg, or an emperor.
PLEASE SHARE WITH ME Job openings / Jobsearch sites or temp agencies in my field or area / tips from pros working in my field / internship and volunteer opportunities / someone to beta my resume / etc etc etc

Feel free to post anonymously if you wish.

On Sunday morning, about 36 hours from now, I'll unscreen the comments and post a link directing people back to this post. Anyone who has advice, open positions, or helpful links can then scroll through the comments and help you find what you seek.

Our goal is to help three people get jobs. Just three people! Surely the other 2697 of us can find jobs for three of us.

Go ye forth and network.
