NoT tO bRaG bUt...

...I have a lot of talents. Recently a couple of them have really come to life. I'll just say it. I got a job offer as a pizza delivery man at Pizza Luce. I was picking up about 10 pops, 3-4 large pizzas and some salads for some people at work a while back and since it was so late at night, I didn't want to wait the extra 30 minutes for delivery so i figured I could easily walk down the alley and pick it up myself. The people there were amazed I could get it all and get back to the office. The guys said to me, "you can deliver for us anytime." There you have it. My other talent is more of a calling than a job offer. A plumber. I have fixed TWO different problems with my toilet now, all by myself. THere was no calling of boys or dads (or moms). Just me. Studying the problem. Finding the fix. If this advertising thing doesn't work out, looks like I'll be juuuuuuuust fine.

I like to think that MAYBE there are a few readers out there who aren't in advertising. If that's true and you're curious as to what it is like, this is it in a nutshell...

aT BattLe. wiTHoUt a pRaYeR.

I am at war with a spider. A very smart spider. Some of you know I don't drive my car very often. But in the last month, every time I come out to my car, there is a giant spider web reaching from my drivers side mirror to the driver side window. It wouldn't be a huge deal if it were anywhere else but I love driving with my window down. I figured I park next to a brick wall in an alley - must be spider alley. Turns out, not true. While getting gas the other day, an ugly, giant spider came out from behind the side mirror. Ah ha! Time for a car wash. That will get rid of him. Nope. Giant spider web next day. Time to aim the hose straight at the mirror and wash him out. That will get rid of him. Nope. Giant spider web next day. Time to go to the bar. As I'm driving home, a baby spider crawls out! So I flick him off. This smart (and what i have to assume is a mama spider) is now sending the babies to do the dirty work. This does not bode well for me. How will I ever get rid of her if I can't get at her???
