Two Proud Parents

Very good news from the World of Employment:

1) The Great PunkyDunky: Employed.
2) The Great BeezieWeezie: Employed.

Both kids have found interesting jobs that pay real money in the towns they live in, and, outside of those towns being a total of 3,000 miles from Saint Plotniko, their parents are bursting with pride.

BZWZ is working at the Earth Institute in Palisades, NJ. Among other assignments, she is coordinating research for a program in Africa dedicated to diminishing hunger. One of these days the machinery of University Bureaucracy will actually clank a few gears forward, and she'll get paid.

TGPD just accepted an offer to become a Producer for KCRW in Los Angeles. He graduates with an M.A. in Journalism on Friday and starts work Monday. The boy will work his ass off, producing two shows a week, and commuting back and forth from Santa Monica to the palacial home where he and The Great FiveHead live in the Echo Park Marina Seaview Estates.

That's a joke. Every street in L.A. is named 'Seaview.' You couldn't see the sea through the smog with the Hubble Telescope.

Also, there is no marina, unless it's for beached Honda Preludes with no plates.

Everybody's on the move. If PD stays with this job, they will probably move. BZWZ wants to move too, from the Mouse House to an apartment where the landlord actually answers the phone. To be equidistant from their children, Plotnik and Ducknik will probably end up in Phlat, Kansas.

These kids have two very proud parents today. And there is more news too. Gimme a few days on that one.
