The Jon Blog

Tumble Outta Bed And Stumble to the Kitchen...

Oh, Happy Day...

I actually had a whole day, a whole 9.25 hours, of temp work today. Theoretically, I was supposed to be working as an Administrative Assistant at a midtown financial insurance firm.

So what did I end up doing all day, you ask?

I read the entire current issue of Entertainment Weekly (the one with Mel Gibson on the cover) and surfed the net...a lot. For $17/hour. Not that I'm complaining, you understand. I'd take this kind of assignment every single day if I could. I just don't understand why this firm even bothered to bring me in.

While I had internet access (and was told to feel free to use it to my heart's content) the firm did have a fire wall that kept me from catching up with some of the weblogs that I read on a regular basis.

Among the sites that were blocked were Mike's, Matt's and...(drum roll, please)...The Jon Blog. I was so honored to be in such excellent company. I've never been responsible for anything that anyone felt the need to censor, but now I join the ranks of Anne Frank, Oscar Wilde, and Salman Rushdie. Whoo-Hoo!

Among the sites that did pass muster with this firm's firewall were those of Jeff, Matt in Chicago (whom I never did actually get to meet while I was there for two and half months), Choire (to whom I was once introduced by Jeff at The Coffee Pot), The Advocate, Out, and Gaydar.

Oh, yes, I have recently decided to give Gaydar a try and see if I have any better luck there then I do on gay.com. So far, so good. I am in the process of arranging dates with a couple of gentlemen with whom I've been chatting.

If you, or someone you know, might be interested in a date with me, please get in touch or pass the word. :)
