Tsjaz in Minneapolis (consumer of popular culture) tries to be of service to others, posting with reasonable regularity, although to be honest, he'd prefer laying on the couch and sleeping to describing the excruciating minutiae of his life to you.

guts tied up; caffeine partly to blame?
I'd totally spend money at Musicland right now if it still existed. Their loss.
I got a job offer this morning and it (in combination with several other things) caused paralysis in me for the rest of the day until about 5pm. It's an "alternative" school, so I got a really lowball offer which I just couldn't accept. I called back later intending to finish the business, either by getting a big raise right off the bat, or saying no. Instead, I was offered a medium raise and told to think about it and not make a hasty decision. So tomorrow I'll probably turn down the only job offer I've had and call myself crazy. I said I'd be picky, and here I am. I had an interview with a mainstream school district, and they said I interviewed well and wanted me to interview for a possible future job opening this summer. I'm discombobulated.
Summer vacation has only given stress from the job search and an impending overseas big trip. Speaking of Africa, I'd been frustrated for a long time with my travel agent. I was searching for info on the web and found a knowledgeable poster on some forums who owns an agency in the Cities. I contacted them and got set up with an agent. I thought that would be wise, considering that I was experiencing info overload trying to do things on my own. I'd email my agent and it would take her a long time, or sometimes never, to respond. I agonized about what to do about this situation, more so than I needed to, as it turned out. In the same way that I put blame on myself where none existed in Norway, I wondered in this situation how to address the problem with the person rather than going above her head. In the end, I went above her head, and got this response: [she] "is no longer with Travel Beyond so that may explain the service disruption." Oh, really?!
I'm home alone for a week, which is also causing problems with my...I don't know...mental health around the house or something? I have no purpose, too much free time. Time to sell Joe Montana rookie cards.
I watched more of the Stanley Cup finals this year than I had since Carolina won because of CHG. Game 7 was awesome. Fleury was amazing. I didn't watch *any* of the NBA finals, for reference. There have been times when the NBA has not been boring, but that's the exception. Kobe's game isn't boring, but the Lakers are boring. The Kings circa 2004 or 2005 were an example of something not boring. When Spree was with the Wolves, that wasn't boring. The NBA in the 80's wasn't boring. Everything else...boring.
