No, not the total webpage itself, but a few things are coming to a close. First off, the 10 Job Challenge is finished. What came out of it? Well, for starters, I am currently employed, THANK GOD. Finally, after way too long a period of time, I can consider myself gainfully employed again. But the question is, fair readers, by whom? Which of the 10 jobs chose to make me an offer? Was it more than one? Did a company outside of the 10 get involved? What happened? You’ll know after I finish writing the rest of the articles up! I’m pretty sure that there will be a part two AND three, because I’ve got a decent amount of content for two parts. The two parts will come relatively quickly together, so look out for them.
Also coming to an end was the 2003 softball season. Without breaking a bone in my body, I managed to complete the season. Blood was spilled, muscles were pulled, and most importantly, I didn’t strike out once. In a totally meaningless game record-wise, our team played the last place team in a game of pride. We played through a pretty steady rainfall, and it was an enjoyable game, even with the weather. It’s been humid as hell here lately, and the rain was actually refreshing. Me? I hit like a madman, finishing a home run short of the cycle. I actually batted second in this game, and made it count. A single, two doubles, my only triple of the season, a stolen base, four runs scored, and three RBI. We actually won by the mercy rule for a change, which is the first time that’s happened in our team’s history.
So, the final statistics look like this. Personally, I’d sign me to a free agent contract this offseason:
G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI SB CS BB SO BA OBP SLG11 29 13 17 3 1 0 8 3 0 5 0 .586 .647 .759
Also, and I feel bad I didn’t update this page sooner to point this out, but we have a new movie review up from Mark & Bridget Warren. Effectively stolen from Mark’s website, he gave us permission to run it, and we’re going to be stealing/using more of his reviews in the near future, or at least at whatever rate he puts them out. Check out their review of the recently released on DVD “The Rules Of Attraction“.
That’s it for now. Feel free to write me about the site.
