I’m looking for an intern for the first time and I’m opening this up to dish readers. I have access to a lot of data that I just don’t have the time or programming skills to store and process – database management was roughly where I got off the programming train – so if you have both the time and the skills and an interest in doing this kind of work, send a note to interns@meadowparty.com by this Saturday, August 8th. Be sure to include something describing your qualifications – it doesn’t have to be a formal resume, but whatever it is, make sure you proofread it first – and if you can provide a reference who can speak to the quality of your work, that would help. I’m expecting this to be just a handful of hours per week once the database is set up, but I’ll go into more details once I’ve got the list down to a few finalists.
(I’ll delete any emails to that address on any subject other than the internship. There are plenty of other ways to reach me if you have a question or comment on another subject.)
In other news, there will be no chat this week. Next chat will be Thursday the 13th.
Keith – Does Volquez having TJ surgery mean he isn’t eligible for the ROY?
Good luck to whomever gets to be Keith’s whipping boy. I’d apply if I had the skills, but I don’t, so alas, I won’t.
On an unrelated note, did anyone catch Buster’s recent piece on the 2003 PED test? Where he said that these players demonstrated an unprecedented selfishness? First off, it seemed a bit absurd that he’s saying this now, now that 2 more big boys are on the cross. Secondly, is this the most sanctimonious piece of crap in this whole media-created-mess? While there is no doubt that the players acted selfishly to an extent, is that any different than anyone else who makes decisions to better one’s self, possibly to the detriment of others?
