A dream job for someone who wants to support an awesome organization

[turil.livejournal.com]

Frances Moore Lappé and her Small Planet Institute are looking for a new manager for the organization (the second in command, and I think the only employee of the organization). If you are a big fan of Lappé's work, and are good at admin and support work, this would be an awesome job. (It's in Cambridge, walking distance from Davis, from what I understand.)

The application is here. And the details from the site are below the cut...

Join Us for Free Boloco Dinner? Sunday, Feb. 20th

[josephineave.livejournal.com]

This is a bit of an experiment, but we will see where this takes us.

I have won a dinner for 4 at Boloco Harvard Square. I am cashing it out on late Sunday afternoon and have spots for 2 folks to join us. I am throwing this out to the DSLJ community to see if anyone is up for a free dinner this weekend (it's a crime to waste free burritos).

The first two commenters to reply to this posting are in (sorry, no +1). Provide me an email address to connect and we'll exchange numbers so I can track you down if you are late. I encourage more than 2 to sign up, in case we need an alternate.

Snowbreak!

Since I'm a weirdo and tracking these things, I thought I'd share that as of today, we are officially within the longest snowbreak of the season! Until now, the longest gap between snow emergencies was the 15-day period between the end of first and the beginning of the second. The other gaps were considerably smaller, at 7d2h, 6d21h, and 4d4h, respectively.

It has now been a full 16 days since our last snow emergency was lifted! (Someday we may even reclaim parking on the even side of the street.)
