Actually, there's a very large number of benefits of knowing Chase, but the one I'm blogging about tonight is that he occasionally gives absolutely fantastic artwork to his friends.I have to say it's an amazing likeness of me, done from a photo he took a while ago. My friend Mr Oxley never seems to give me a chance to stop being impressed.
This doesn't just come out of the blue - Chase and I had dinner at Megan's place tonight, which was where Chase forked over pictures of Megan and I, with attendant mumblings about them being belated Xmas presents. I think I already got a present from Chase for Christmas, but whatever. I'm certainly not giving this one back.
For the record, Megan was surprisingly chipper for someone who just quit her job yesterday. She's got some plan about moving to London, which, trust me, is never going to happen. She gets like this. In 2001 she thought she was going to join the army. In 2004 I think she was going to start a band. She's fantastically intelligent and could do any of these things if she put her mind to it, but she just burns out before they reach fruition.
Plus, if she moved to London, I'd miss her.
Anyway, I convinced her to put her resume in with Cadmean Recruiting and maybe land a temp job for a while. At worst, it'll get her through until she gets over this whole thing.

This is going to be cheaper than I thought!
Can I get a lift to the Airport with you tomorrow? umm today?
That link doesn't display properly on my screen, Megs, but I assume you're talking about getting a work visa. Look, I'll give you a lift out if you submit your resume to Cadmean first.
:p
Resume is submitted.
You can even check up on me if you want!
Pick me up at midday?
I'm at work, Megan, I get off for lunch at one.
There's no rush. You've got the rest of your life ahead of you, you know.
Be ready when I get to your place.
Ahh.
I keep on forgetting it's not a weekend.
Sorry.
I'll be ready. I'll even make you lunch to save you time! Sandwiches or salad?
I have to choose, now? I actually feel like salad sandwhiches. Maybe with chicken.
Leftover herb chicken and salad sandwiches... too easy.
It's like a ceasar salad, just with 2 really big croutons. lol.
Change of plans! Lift's off! You've got a job offer already!
They're called Vanadium Network Solutions and they're going to be calling you in the next half hour. Good luck!
OMG! Phil!
I got the Job!
I start at 10am tomorrow for 2 hours training, then I have an hour for lunch, then a half-day!
Start for real 9am Friday.
They are even going to pay me for trainig!
Yeah it's customer service, but the pay is great and they are looking at expanding internationally in a few years, so I might get that job in London after all!
Telephone Interview! - no need to even drag out and iron my interview suit!
