The Post Honey Bunches of Oats promo continues outside Union Station, now with an Oat Monster mascot wandering the area. Or maybe he’s a spoon with cereal in it. Or something.

Snappy Recovery from Job Hunting Gaffe
What do you do when you’re sending out multiple job applications all at once, and you accidentally send the cover letter for Company A to Company B by mistake? Well, if it’s for a webmaster/IT Manager position, and you’ve got nothing to lose, you send a witty followup like this one.
With regard to my just-submitted application, I must follow up with no small amount of embarassment that this is for [Company A] and not [Company B]. That’s what I get for doing multiple job applications simultaneously in multiple Firefox tabs. Please enjoy a laugh around the office at my expense and accept ten old school ^H command line backspaces to cover over my carelessness.

Self-parody mixed with a not-too-subtle flash of geek cred — it’s an all-or-nothing gamble at the hiring party’s attention! What does that get you? Rejection for your carelessness, or special notice for your sense of humor?
Apology accepted! What are your salary requirements?
And just like that, I got an interview for April 10th — but sadly (for them, that is) I had to cancel on it a short while later. Why, you ask? Well, I accepted employment elsewhere. More on that, and on the transition back to full time work from freelancing, soon.
I Have Seen the Lord
Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.;” Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord” – and that he had said these things to her.

Flattish fair weather cumulus drift over Route 22, somewhere amidst the suburban landscape of New Jersey. Cold, breezy out.

These Peeps are bright vivid red. Like freshly spilled blood. They are scary. I am scared of them.

For the Transgressors
Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,
and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,
because he poured out his soul to death
and was numbered with the transgressors;
yet he bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.

Out for a walk on the National Mall right now. It’s very nice out, cool, breezy, a bit damp. Here’s the sun setting by the Washington Monument.
