Barely made it through a mercifully short 8am meeting. How will I do on Wednesday, when I have one at 6? Yes, 6. In the morning. |

@PetFoodMax Getting photos accepted at @Shutterstock starts out hard but gets easier. I've learned a lot, and made money in the process. |
19:47 |
@PetFoodMax Mostly I shoot what I like and see what sells. That keeps it fun, keeps me motivated, and helps pay for itself. |

Comcast's blackmail of Netflix makes me glad I'm on AT&T. Yeah, they're slower, but they haven't pulled this crap yet. |

It's Thanksgiving eve day, and I have an 8am meeting. Lucky it's via WebEx, so no one will notice me looking confused & disengaged. |

Made the 8am meeting. And amazingly enough, I understand a lot of the conversation! Three weeks in, and I'm not totally lost any more! |

At the airport. Car turned in, and I'm on the way to the terminal. Ominous word, terminal. Especially at this hour. |

On the plane now, just a little bit closer to employment. Four hours to go... |
05:12 |
Final count for the weekend: 2046 photos and one dead studio strobe. Luckily it was an eBay special and won't cost much to replace. |
05:14 |
@TomTomUSA mine's Homer, after The Simpsons voice. Sure would like a Stewie Griffin voice, though. |
08:21 |
@scapersuse Yep, today's the day. I'm in my car, waiting for the badge office to open. 40 minutes to go... |
09:25 |
@scapersuse Sleep? What's that? Hope to start catching up tonight after work. Wow, that sounds weird. Haven't had an office since Jan '06! |
11:15 |
@scapersuse I worked from home and traveled for my last job. No office, which make the commute really brief! |
12:52 |
The hard part about starting a new job is being so useless. Of course, it would help if I had a computer. And email. But I have a nameplate! |

Pretty satisfied with election in California, even if the rest of US not so positive. More Repug obstructionism, no doubt. |

Nice to see Meg Whitman give so much to California for so little return. Wish it had been inspired by altruism, but still. |

If not for the Tea Party, Repugs would likely have taken the Senate too. So have you thanked a Tea Partier for their support? |
