  • Hansbrough siting @ Chapel Hill Whole Foods. Much healthier than Breadman’s, where we usually see him. #unc #besketball #
  • I’m amazed the snow here is sticking after the last 24 hours of rain. Tommorrow could be yucky (for you non-telecommuters). #
  • Looking at the forecast and plotting to not leave the house until the weather is more civilized. Maybe Friday. #

  • Here’s a tip for the job hunters out there: don’t include your experience sterilizing needles at a tattoo parlor for an online content job. #
  • @rachelannyes That could totally be relevant – at the right job. 😉 in reply to rachelannyes #
  • @jessrodg Sadly, yes. Two different tattoo parlor jobs listed on the resume for a job that mostly requires knowledge of HTML & Drupal. in reply to jessrodg #
  • @nprscottsimon How about the dedication of a historic highway marker in N.C. for the first freedom rides – in 1947? http://is.gd/l97y in reply to nprscottsimon #
