Good job news

I have here an offer letter.

As of April 1, I will be a full-time staff member at Triumph Learning. No more temp agency.

This not only comes with benefits--paid vacation, profit sharing, and some I'll find out about in a day or two when the HR person has a little more free time--it's about a 25% raise not counting the benefits. The HR person also has forms to give me, of course.

I will be getting out of the cubicle farm, but not until April 1 (there are sound reasons for this).

I like living here, part 8,200,000

I was walking through Penn Station on my way to work this morning. Many of the shops on the LIRR concourse will happily sell you bread, muffins, and similar breakfast and lunch food. I noticed a signboard advertising "St. Patrick's Day Specials." The first entry was, unsurprisingly, Irish soda bread. The third was hamantaschen.

The specials last night at Trattoria Spaghetto included corned beef; an appetizer of smoked salmon and asparagus; and "green pasta."
