SOMETHING BASEBALL:
For those of you who have been keeping up with the world of baseball, you will know that the World Series just took place. And that the San Francisco Giants won it! Rusty is the one that got me watching the games and turned me into a fan when I moved here a few months ago. I haven't been into baseball since the Mariners golden years, so this has been a great revival. I feel like I moved to the Bay Area just in time for the good stuff. So many things to celebrate! I mostly like the Giants team because they have so many great characters on their team - Lincecum, Wilson, Buster, Panda, etc. None of them were superstars, but they all contributed and worked together to make a great season. Misfit underdogs. Love it.
SOMETHING APPLE:
After several weeks of a much more intense interview process than I expected, I have been hired by Apple! Don't be too impressed. It's a part-time thing for me right now to pay the bills, but I am so excited! It's actually a great job and they sure know how to treat their employees. It's great to be a part of such an innovative and progressive company, too. I only just started training, so we'll see how it goes!
