New job? And new personal HU record

Well I got an e-mail from Absolute today with $10 free from them. Usually I do something stupid like PLO or blackjack trying to run it up or lose it and I lose it and I don't play there again until I get more free money. Today I decided to play HU SNGs with it. Lowest they had was $5.25s so I could only afford to lose once before I'd have to short stack some NL cash games. Anyway I won and was able to play another and I ran up 8 wins in a row. I won 4 $5s and 4 $10s to turn the $10 into $67. Not a huge accomplishment in itself but I won my last game last night and 8 in a row today so my new record is now 9 games.

I also received an e-mail from a local company about my resume. I had meant to send it in over the weekend and forgot and I thought about it just before I went to bed this morning so I got back up and sent it in and unfortunately the reply was in mu junkbox so I didn't see it until late tonight but I sent a reply back and they want to interview me so maybe early next week I'll get that taken care of. I'm kinda nervous. It looks like they want a web guy and it used to be my specialty. I've done some web stuff in college and enjoyed it but I'm rusty as I haven't done any of it in a couple years and would need a quick refresher. But I think I'd be good at the job.

Would be nice to get back to work and come home and play a few hours of poker each night and be able to build my bankroll and maybe do some MTTs or something else on the side. Not sure if my old backer would want to pick me back up but I'd be willing to do the Sunday majors probably if he'd be up for it. I don't see me grinding the nightly MTTs with having to be at work the next morning. I'd prefer to play SNGs or cash so I could stop when I wanted to.

Anyway I didn't get to play any at Tilt today like I had planned. Lil bro just got a new car so I spent some time checking it out. Its a Pontiac G5. About the same as the Chevy Cobalt. Not a bad looking lil car. Has a aux input for Ipods or whatever. I used the last of my FPPs last week to get him a new Ipod for it cause I thought it had the connector but maybe its the newer models or the upgraded ones or something cause his didn't have just an Ipod cable built in like we had read about on the web but its no big deal.

I watched the season premiere of Lost tonight and I'll probably watch either some HU cash or HU SNG vids on cardrunners tonight. I may try to quickly run up that Absolute mini roll I have there but most of my time will be spent at the Tilt games. I'm not worried about trying to get money off Absolute until I have a couple hundred or something worth working with.
