It's no secret that commuting long distances sucks. And I'm pretty tired of it, so I'm on the prowl for a new job. I did some advertising classwork in college, so I always thought it would be cool to work at GSD&M. Upon paying attention to who visits bellyfuzz.com, I noticed that there is some GSD&M person who visits the site! Whoever you are, please, please, please, be kind to a person who is sick of driving three hours per day and let him know if you think he might be a good fit for your organization. E-mail the poor road warrior at jbecker@austin.rr.com.
This New Yorker article calls the Golden Gate Bridge a monument to death. I'm fairly afraid of heights myself, so I'm glad that the thought of suicide or suicides failed to enter my mind when I walked across it. Instead of admiring the view, I would have been really freaked out.
