Sponsored Post: Graphic Designer needed at Thermory! Apply now

By Lisa Ace


Thermory is in need of an artsy, imaginative, weird type of person that has graphic design abilities and experience.

We need an exceptional human to illustrate creative concepts, be a part of our creative development teams and work in tandem with our marketing agency.

If you value being able to draw a box and then jump outside it, please send your resume to:  kevin@thermoryusa.com, amber@thermoryusa.com, and alicia@thermoryusa.com.

Be prepared to talk aliens, best binge worthy TV shows, and why life is best lived to the beat of your own drum....and graphic design, but we can get to that in the second interview.

Conversations with Calliope- On the Job

By Joseph Langen

 

I feel sorry for the person who can't get genuinely excited about his work. Not only will he never be satisfied, but he will never achieve anything worthwhile.~ Walter Chrysler

JOE: Good morning Calliope.
CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. How was your first day back to work?
JOE: Okay once I got there. I lost a filling and had to detour to my dentist's office to be repaired.
CALLIOPE: And then?
JOE: I realized that between my psychology practice and writing, I have not had a regular schedule in the past twenty years.
CALLIOPE: That will take a little adjustment.
JOE: Fortunately I am working in a very flexible environment.
CALLIOPE: What did you do all day.
JOE: After becoming acclimated, I spent most of the day updating a website with current information. Fortunately I was well equipped for the task.
CALLIOPE: What's next?
JOE: I have some work to do on archiving articles about GOART from local publications.
CALLIOPE: And then what?
JOE: New adventures. I'm going to work prepared for anything. I enjoy not being responsible for everything for a change.
CALLIOPE: Good luck.
JOE: Thanks. I'm already feeling at home. Talk with you tomorrow.

 

 

Conversations with Calliope- Back to Work

By Joseph Langen

 


(Lifting Fog)

JOE: Good morning Calliope.
CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. How are you today?
JOE: Better.
CALLIOPE: On what account?
JOE: Whatever was wrong with my computer isn't any more.
CALLIOPE: What was the problem?
JOE: I wish I knew. I don't even have a guess.
CALLIOPE: How did you fix it then?
JOE: I kept cleaning it and deleting everything I didn't need until it was back to normal.
CALLIOPE: That's a relief but also a mystery.
JOE: Right on both counts. Now back to work.
CALLIOPE: Which is?
JOE: Finishing my announcements for Conversations with Calliope- the book.
CALLIOPE: Anything else?
JOE: I have a new idea which I'll tell you about tomorrow.
