newlywed
well, as jason said, i'm now married. our proofs were uploaded yesterday, and i thought you guys might want to see them.
go here, then search by event name "hinds-bond" (no quotes) - that should bring up ours, 6/25 in maggie valley, photographer is scott lessing photography. the password is jessica. go see! but tell me what you think.
the wedding and honeymoon were so much fun, and it's still hard for both of us to believe that this has really happened and we're husband-and-wife now.
as per our last name, it's officially hinds-bond now, but we're each just keeping our original last names for personal/professional use, unless we're somehow referring to the both of us. so 'hinds' will still be fine. just not 'bond'. and no mrs. daniel anything in relation to me. mom and i spent a while on that fight.
otherwise in my life, i'm hoping for a new job in the near future. i've a second interview this friday (fingers crossed), so it's not a horror story *yet*. i'd be the office manager for philadelphia young playwrights, a not-for-profit organization that brings theatre to local schools. they sponsor playwrighting classes throughout the year that promote literacy (by providing special training for the teachers, and then pairing each teacher with an in-class theatre professional. the two work together in the classroom), and then there's a contest each year and the winning plays are produced by professional theatres in the area. it's existed for about 17 years now, and is a model for similar newer programs across the country.
this would be massively better than my current market research job for my future career, and in an office of only 5 people two of whom are a dramaturg and the head of the philly theatre alliance, i'd have so much to learn there. i'd get to curate the reading series of elementary-written plays at the center city barnes and noble! it'd be fun.

We'll keep you on file.
Forgive me ahead of time - this post could be catogorized under the "rant" category. However, I havn't posted in a while, and couldn't think of anything else interesting besides that found on my new favorite hangout, The Onion AV Club.
My title consists of that ever dreaded phrase often heard after an unsuccessful interview. We've all heard it. Today I wanted to share with yall a tidbit - a recent experience of mine in my latest effort to find a real job.
Recently I replied to an ad in the BR newspaper classifieds which went roughly like this: "Tech Support person wanted for Gonzales business. Good benefits. Send resume to person@email.com..."
That's it. Hey! Golden! Sounds entry level basic stuff... I got an interview 4 days later.
I took off early from work, raced home, changed into something nice, raced about 20 minutes to this place, and talked to them.
Hm. They wern't looking for a tech support person.
They were looking for an experienced WAN and Systems Administrator to work as a department of ONE, while at the same time, transfer their database systems from Access to SQL Server.
Complete waste of both of our time. I'd have better luck walking-on to the Auburn swimming and diving team.
Were they too cheap to afford more than 4 lines in the paper to actually describe what the job even remotely was? Isn't there an ettiquite for this kind of thing?
Cripes.
There have been a lot of career moves for Brounies lately - anyone else have a horror story to share?
