You&#8217;re making brownies (or some other dessert of the chocolate and\/or sticky variety) and you&#8217;re trying, say, to get the batter out of the mixing bowl into the pan, and there isn&#8217;t a clean spatula.  So what do you do?  You get a dinner knife and do the best you can to scrape the batter out.  That doesn&#8217;t work too well, so you ditch the knife in favor of a small spoon.  Of course, the spoon doesn&#8217;t have the required edge area necessary for proper batter scrapage, so you move to a bigger spoon.  That works okay, but what you really needed what the darn spatula, and now you&#8217;ve dirtied three utensils when all you really needed to do the job was the one right one.<\/p>\n<p>This happened to me with alarming frequency when I was living in Florida.  Making an easy Mexican dinner or lunch, I&#8217;d sully a good three quarters of my flatware for no good reason other than I was just flailing about, trying things without thinking them through.  I guess if you have enough utensils and a dishwasher, everything&#8217;s fine, right?<\/p>\n<p>Gorgeous day.  I have an interview tomorrow afternoon with a branch of Caterpillar, the construction company.  They need a 3D computer modeler for the location which designs and builds the small &#8220;bobcat&#8221; front-end loaders.  It&#8217;s a local job, and good money, which would enable me to see everyone around here on a fairly regular basis, pay off debts, save money, and take courses in preparation for missionary pilot school in 2003 or 2004.  It&#8217;s a great opportunity, and I didn&#8217;t even have to seek it out.  They contacted me, and have repeatedly taken the initiative to call me and keep me abreast of new developments in the hiring process, which I think is a good sign.  Glory to Him for working everything out so far.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll let you know how the brownies turn out  :o)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does this happen to any of you?
