Update on Inworld Career Interviews and Live Radio Broadcast! post on SL Blog

There are comments along with the names of companies for the buildings which were represented at the recent Inworld Career Fair, thereby updating my recent post in my SL Blog titled, " Inworld Career Interviews and Live Radio Broadcast!

Kittens Returned

At the beginning of this week I made the mistake of setting a bag of trash out on the porch with the intention of carrying it to the burn pile and then forgot about it. (I had been doing alot of cleaning and wanted to get the bag out of the way. Since I live in the country I have my cans and bottles picked up but burn the paper in a bin out in the back yard.) The next morning I found a surprise from a racoon - bag torn open at the bottom and trash all over the porch.

I forsee that Some Day they will all seem silly to me. As I was mentioning this to the person sitting next to me on a different computer I got the typical reaction of someone engrossed in their own world, similar to someone reading a newspaper or watching a football game! Makes ya wonder if all of this is the epitome of silliness...
