What's your favorite Thanksgiving dish?
Submitted by Brennan.
My grandmother's cornbread dressing, which now that the recipe has been passed on to me, has become my cornbread dressing. It has been said that mine outshines hers, but I'd never say that. It is pretty damn good, though. (Hint: leave out the celery, it's a pointless vegetable. Add buttermilk biscuits and ritz crackers to the cornbread, and go heaaaaavy on the sage.)
I'm going retail job hunting today to pickup a 2nd/3rd job for now so that I can catch up on some bills. Looks like I might not be missing Black Friday after all. I'm thinking either a mall job or looking somewhere like Old Navy, because the discount applies to Banana Republic as well, and that would be sweet.
How did you pick your Vox name? Does it mean something?

I'm a big nerd for the 70's band Steely Dan, and particularly like their song "Your Gold Teeth." It sounds like this:
In other news, I think I got the job! They called the next day, I interviewed, and I'm going in tomorrow to work with the current sys admins to get a feel for everything. They're a company that does pretty much everything by scratch and with open source software, which is cool. When I last went to Birmingham to get some winter clothes, I managed to get everything I needed to dress professionally, except for pants. So, I ran to the local thrift store to grab some pants last night. I did it up, with the shirt, tie, sweater, coat...and looked damned good. But, talk about being overdressed for their atmosphere. The main sys admin was wearing a t-shirt that said "I ran out of sick days, so I called in dead." Clever t-shirt notwithstanding (have I ever mentioned how much I loathe clever bumper stickers and shirts?) everyone was totally cool, so I think it'll go well.
A long time ago I interviewed for a job in the Tuscaloosa area, and was offered the job but only part-time, so I declined the offer. I had not put much thought into it until perusing the job ads in the Tuscaloosa News for the same company looking for a part-time systems administrator. I liked the organization, but I just couldn't afford the commute and the drop in pay for a part-time job. Now? I live less than a mile from them, and could definitely use a little part-time work.
So, wish me luck!
Also, on an unrelated note, it has been much to my chagrin that the animated classic Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (And Don't Come Back!) has never made it to DVD. Won't you join me and forty other people (at the time of this writing) in signing a petition to get it released? Go here.
