To explain, I was out of town for a couple of days this weekend. Before that, I was preparing to go out of town. After that, I was recovering from being out of town. You get the idea.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m afraid I still don&#8217;t have too much to offer my poor audience this afternoon, but since some of you are apparently feeling abandoned &#8212; again, my apologies &#8212; here&#8217;s a neat-o self-portrait of what I would&#8217;ve looked like if I&#8217;d been an agency proofreader about 45 years ago:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jasonbennion.com\/images\/madmen_jason.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Not too different, really, although I haven&#8217;t worn a tie in years.

I don&#8217;t have cable myself, so I&#8217;ve been unable to follow the show on any kind of regular basis, but I have caught a few episodes and, I have to admit, my day job is frighteningly similar to what you see on this series, just with less smoking and lunchtime drinking. Well, less smoking anyhow&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I found the link to the MadMen-izer via my friend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.karenkaminski.com\/2009\/07\/thursday-unrelated-information.html\">Karen<\/a>.
