I was in the paper!

Regional job fair attracts 2,200
"Aaron Soderholm and Kevin Benedict attended separate colleges and graduated a year apart.

But the longtime Spotsylvania County friends wound up in the same place yesterday--Fredericksburg Regional Job Fair.

They were among about 2,200 people seeking the attention of more than 60 employers at the Riverside Center off U.S. 17 in Stafford County. The event was sponsored by The Free Lance-Star Companies and the Virginia Employment Commission.

The 23-year-old Soderholm has been looking for a job since his college graduation in May, while Benedict, 24, has been a job-seeker for more than a year.

'It's a circle,' Soderholm said. 'We need a job, we can't get a job because you need experience, and we can't get experience because we need a job.'

Soderholm, who wants a career in sound engineering, said he has already drafted 25 to 30 versions of his resume in his post-graduation search. Benedict said he has learned not to get his hopes up for a job in computers and networking, despite several interviews in recent months."

The really funny thing is, I really doubt I will even get just an interview from this but hey, at least some people will know I'm looking to be a sound engineer now.

You can also read this in the Region section of 10/19/04 The Free-Lance Star, specifically on page C3.

Mac's Middle Earth Map Ruined

My good friend Mac made this map of Middle Earth (from The Lord of the Rings series) meticulously a few years ago. As you can see it somehow succumbed to water damage even though the frame and cardboard backing have no trace of damage. Whatever the reason, Mac said that he will be making another and better one! Trust me, it was sweet so this "next one" should be amazing. Good luck mac and sorry to hear about your precious.

My Broken Dolphin

Jennifer gave me this Dolphin probably a year or more ago so naturally I hung it around the rearview mirror of my car. That is until it flew off of it the other night while I was getting out. The jacket, which was in my hand, apparenlty caught the glass dolphin and ripped it off the line that was attaching it to the mirror, breaking the glass hook that held it on. So now, battered and broken my poor glass dolphin sits at my desk as I type ... What shall I do with it?
