A little bit about Rob

You may want to skip the boring biographical data and go right to the more current details of my life.

This may be the best photograph taken of me in my adult life. Sadly, it makes me look a little vacuous, but if you want to know what I look like, I know of none better. Well, there's that one I bought back from the blackmailers, but you don't really think I'm going to show you, do you?

I was born May 27, 1961, in Lowell MA, at 13:15 for you astrologers out there. If you cast my horoscope and tell me it means Diana and I aren't compatible and I should have stayed with Madeline, I hope your major medical is paid up.
Harumph.

I'm five feet eight inches tall, and weigh about 150 lbs. I'm not in great shape, but I have what a friend of mine referred to as "calves of doom" from Morris dancing.

I've lived in:

and

Minneapolis, MN, where I currently reside. I detest living in cities, but that seems to be where the jobs is right now, dunnit? Alas... The misery of city life is mitigated by the presence of so many good friends, but someday we hope to have a nice little Earthship far far from any city. Maybe we'll do it in Western Mass, as I've wanted to go home there since I left, over ten years ago, but it's at least as likely if not more so that we'll do it here in Minnesota. Perhaps we can at least retire to Massachusetts...

Peripatetic little sod, ain't I?

In my lifetime, I've worked for such diverse companies as:

The Stop and Shop Companies, Inc. (where I was a union shop steward: United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1459, thank you very much)
Colonial National Bank, a division of Advanta Corporation
The Days Inn in Horsham PA (not far from the Willow Grove Naval Air Station, and what ever happened to that lovely Captain I used to flirt with anyhow?)
U-Haul (speaking as a former and somewhat less-than-gruntled employee, I recommend you not work for them and probably best you don't rent from them either. I've seen some of those trucks) Incidentally, they're the only employer about whom I really don't have much of anything good to say
Trans National Communications, where I last worked(and a fine and dandy place it is to work, too). I'm currently temping, while trying to get back into the telecom industry.
General Mills, my current employer. Jobs in telecom were a bit thin on the ground when I got here, but I got a gig as an Administrative Assistant through Kelly, which turned into a permanent position. It's certainly not what I want to do for a career, but it keeps the proverbial lupine pest from the door, and it's a pretty good place to work. The people are pleasant, the benefits are good, and they just gave me some stock options [which don't vest for four years, so I'll likely stick around at least that long...]
Well, I got laid off from General Mills in June of 2004, and have been temping since then, while I hunt for a permanent job and plan how to go back to school. I'm prohibited by the terms of my severance agreement from saying anything bad about General Mills, so I won't. But I could...
However, if you know of a good job in the Twin Cities area, please let me know...

One of these days, I'll post an actual resume.

Summary of my life as it is now:

I live in Minneapolis MN, and I'm hopelessly in love. There's a nice picture of the love of my life and wife [We were married June 2, 2002, in a lovely ceremony at Summit Manor in Saint Paul] here. The lucky guy in the middle is moi. The lady on your right (my left) is a friend of ours. It was taken at Thanksgiving of 1999. I have some more pictures, which I'll put up shortly. Oh, and for the record, my darling looks even better in person.
I'm also a Wiccan Priest, I dabble in poetry, and I'm teaching myself mosaic (the art form, not the browser). Until I moved to Minneapolis, I danced on two Morris teams (Red Herring [of which I was briefly also the Squire] and MOTley Morris) [the "MOT" stands for "My Other Team," since it was founded by people who were already on at least one Morris team already. Both teams seem to have survived my departure, for which I'm glad {grin}
