I have a phone interview for a bizarre-sounding "Learn Python on the job" scheme -- I checked and it's a legitimate recruiter, so who knows? I'd love to learn Python (programming language, not Monty) and would be good at it, too.
My experience in the job market makes me tend to be leary of such a good-sounding setup, but occasionally you strike gold. Or maybe it will be that the guy might have other leads. SIGH.
In the meantime, I'm still chugging my way through Wordpress tutorials on Lynda.com. If anybody wants some free WP work, let me know, I need to build a portfolio.

Oh. Sad. But good luck!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Nasty fruit that contaminates everything. The number of people that ruin perfectly good chocolate with raspberry...
OK, that's where you're wrong.

The solution here is that Dana can just give me all her raspberries and uncooked tomatoes and everybody stays happy.

Not if I steal all of Dana's raspberries first.

Real raspberries are wonderful. Fake fruit flavors are almost always horrible. And fake floral scents.
Especially when the city sewage processing plant is pumping out some horrible fake vanilla/floral scent into the entire south end of town to cover itself up! I'm looking at you, Provo! I think I would rather smell just sewage than sewage mingled with fake floral. Such a vile stench last night.
edit: Honest, I've smelled more pleasant road kill .

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
No lie, the first time I had cran-raspberry juice, I thought the entire bottle had gone off or been contaminated by something.

I will happily take any raspberries that accidentally go Dana's way.
Good luck, Theo!
