Diversifying the workplace, without wearing a hair-net.

So my life has changed dramatically in the last 3 and 1/3 weeks of no-postdom.

I'm selling the only home I really ever loved enough to buy, packed up all my junk,
and headed to a land where your life's worth is defined by how many of the Red Sox's
children you can recite backwards in order of childbirth.

Bonus for categorizing them by weight & actual time in labor.

I don't think I had ever regarded Baseball as America's pastime either, until now.
Somehow I ended up in a local Bean Town dive, and a veritble Jimmy Swaggert
of Fenwayness, cast my demons out. Soon thereafter, we went to Just for Feet
and bought matching Nike tennis shoes. We're supposed to go to a comet watching
ritual next Thursday.

So enough of that, In regards to my new job I bring not only talent, hopefully,
but also a .0000000187% skew of Hispanic diversity they can throw into their global
logarithms for the next Adweek report card.

It's weird being the only Latino in Tri-State area. I had to Google-Image the word
Mexicano just to remember what my family looks like. I even watched the
George Lopez show. And he's white.
