Don't Trust Your Instincts

I received this rejection letter a few days ago:

Dear William,

Thank you for submitting your resume to [name withheld]. Your resume has been received and reviewed for the [position to which you applied]. Your qualifications for the position were carefully considered, however, other candidates appear to have backgrounds better suited to the needs of the department.

They "appear" to have backgrounds better suited to the needs of your department? You sound unsure, or condescending. I can't tell.

As you may have gathered from my Twitterings, I had some car trouble yesterday. The break line went, and I lost compression in the rear brakes and had very little in the front. The annoyance of having car trouble was nothing compared to the emotional trauma of having to pay for it. However, the car runs great again and will propel me southward, toward D.C.

Weird octopi with more than eight arms. How many? Try 85.

Completely awesome Rubix Cube solving robot made of Legos. Finally!

I move in 10 days.

Merry XMas, Kids.

Here's a short poem from all of us here in CHRISTMAS LAND.

Guess who got a Wii?
It was not you!
But it was me!

Merry Christmas to Mii.

Things are well here in the house of Eddy. Me and the Geschwesters are all having a blast on our various electronic entertainment devices. Hope the holidays are treating everyone well!
Tomorrow we begin the journey southward to the great state of Indiana - which is as much a state of the union as it is a state of being. Bucephalus will accompany me on this trip, and I will be retunring no later than the 29th.
If you are in the Ann Arbor area come that time, look mii up for some GOOD NINTENDO TIMES.

(Oh man, the new Black Keys album is awesome)
