We’ve seen it, have you??

Grant Imahara does an Ask Me Anything

Excerpt that I found particularly interesting:

“It’s the distinction between the formal job market and the informal job market.

The informal job market comprises all jobs that are not filled through someone responding to a job advertisement. Usually, these are jobs that are filled throughrelationships. Either there is a position at the firm that needs to be filled, and an employee at the firm knows someone who’s qualified. Or, the firm wants to bring a specific person they know to join the team, and they create a position for that person out of thin air.

“If you do some Googling on the informal job market, you’ll learn something shocking: according to various estimates (on CNN, CBS, MSNBC, and NPR) somewhere around 80% of jobs get filled informally. In other words, only 20% of jobs get filled through people responding to job ads (the primary method of job seeking most people do)”

The sign at the garden gate reads “Warning, these plants can kill you”

Apparently, Sean wants to visit. I’m not exactly on board with the idea.

A lesson we should all already know…

Michael Jackson “Black or White”

I Took My Baby
On A Saturday Bang
Boy Is That Girl With You
Yes We’re One And The Same

Now I Believe In Miracles
And A Miracle
Has Happened Tonight

But, If
You’re Thinkin’
About My Baby
It Don’t Matter If You’re
Black Or White

They Print My Message
In The Saturday Sun
I Had To Tell Them
I Ain’t Second To None

And I Told About Equality
An It’s True
Either You’re Wrong
Or You’re Right

But, If
You’re Thinkin’
About My Baby
It Don’t Matter If You’re
Black Or White

I Am Tired Of This Devil
I Am Tired Of This Stuff
I Am Tired Of This Business
Sew When The
Going Gets Rough
I Ain’t Scared Of
Your Brother
I Ain’t Scared Of No Sheets
I Ain’t Scare Of Nobody
Girl When The
Goin’ Gets Mean

[L. T. B. Rap Performance]
Protection
For Gangs, Clubs 
And Nations
Causing Grief In
Human Relations
It’s A Turf War
On A Global Scale
I’d Rather Hear Both Sides
Of The Tale
See, It’s Not About Races
Just Places
Faces
Where Your Blood
Comes From
Is Where Your Space Is
I’ve Seen The Bright
Get Duller
I’m Not Going To Spend
My Life Being A Color

[Michael]
Don’t Tell Me You Agree With Me 
When I Saw You Kicking Dirt In My Eye

But, If 
You’re Thinkin’ About My Baby
It Don’t Matter If You’re Black Or White

I Said If
You’re Thinkin’ Of 
Being My Baby 
It Don’t Matter If You’re Black Or White

I Said If
You’re Thinkin’ Of
Being My Brother
It Don’t Matter If You’re
Black Or White

Ooh, Ooh
Yea, Yea, Yea Now
Ooh, Ooh
Yea, Yea, Yea Now

It’s Black, It’s White

To Get By
It’s Black , It’s White, Whoo

It’s Black, It’s White
It’s Tough For You
To Get By
It’s Black , It’s White, Whoo 

John’s Steakhouse in Warm Springs, VA.

It was a wonderful and beautiful getaway!

Sean and I also helped out at the Friendly City Food Co-op Grand Opening celebration. Here are pictures from their Facebook album if you click on the logo. We didn’t make it in these either. Weird!

From Tisha Blosser (HDR Staff member) Unfortunately, I was running around so much, I didn’t get in any pictures :(

Sean and I helped out at Valley 4th this year. I was able to help plan the event and Sean was so great all day! He even got soaked shortly before he left due to a thunderstorm that lasted an hour. He and some friends tried to save a tent from the winds, but the draft through the alley was just too strong. If I get pictures (we were too busy to take any) I will post them!
