messengering

Beefed up the resume today with a new part-time job: bike messenger. The knowledge factory I work for regularly sends packages back and forth between its two campuses. As of today, I get the first opportunity to do the delivery. Did the first one today over lunch. Hammering away for 20 kms sure beats the heck out of having to endure the inane conversations that usually occur in the lunch room. And it might help me pay off the poosher too.

Hugo Chavez delivered a message today too: "The devil came here [to the UN] yesterday. He came here talking as if he were the owner of the world.” Hint: he wasn't referring to the speech by Ahmadinejad. Now that's some straight shooting. Or maybe he was listening to Steve Earle on his ipod during his flight over from Venezuela and wanted to test things out.
