LUDIC LOG

I am employed once again.

While expressing happiness about this is somewhat akin to an escaped slave enthusing about his capture, what can I say? After a while you just get a little tired of running from those damned overseers. Besides, I'm no good at slavery analogies. I'm no Paul Craig Roberts.

At any rate, I'm looking forward to having an income again; it'll be nice to have a new set of nearby shops and restaurants at which to blow my newfound discretionary income; and the ol' web log will benefit from not only a new influx of material but the delightful frisson of risk involved in bitching about my job when someone I work with might read it. I've always said I was a Supreme Court test case waiting to happen, so here's my chance to prove it.

I'll refrain from saying anything bad about my new job (it's too soon) or anything good about my new job (so I don't look like a naive hopeful schmuck if it turns out to be horrible), and simply say: I have a new job.

Feel free to use the e-mail link below to send me congratulations, warnings, advice or questions. And if you, like me, are outraged by the fact that I have to work for a living, you can use the link to send me money. I accept Visa, Mastercard, checks, money orders, and folding-stuff; I'm also a proud member of the PayPal system. Remember: only you can prevent my going to work on Monday.
