I don't understand how people can be unemployed and not go crazy. I mean...I am not minding SOME me time...but it's only been 2 official days without a job and I am going nuts.

Thinking I may have to find another job BEFORE the unemployment hearing...and before I get my business started.

Job stuff-
I have an unemployment hearing on April 5th, over the phone, to talk about why I resigned and to decide if I can get unemployment. Chances are I will find a new job by then...haha.

Starting research into opening my own pet store.

Other stuff-
My hat came in. Pics later. Fits my giant head perfectly.

The new chainsaw I bought is a...

Told my boss I want to be paid for 40 hour weeks and he said it would be fine.
Excellent.

That knocks a week off how much longer I have with them....so now it's 7.5 weeks instead of 8.5.
That one week could mean the difference between a mental breakdown and NOT a mental breakdown. Haha.

I am buying another new chain saw soon. I got a 30.5 CC saw with a 14 inch bar, and it cuts fine...but it can't handle the larger stuff I need to clean up at my Grandma's house...
so I am getting a 42 CC with an 18" bar. Everything I read about it suggests it will handle them easily.

It will pay for itself...

New credit card came in...and the first thing I do?
Pay for a year of SG. You guys are stuck with me for another year. Haha.

I'm waiting for my new hat to come in. My old leather hat doesn't fit my head anymore. I think it shrank from being in the heat of my car...so I need a new adventure hat.
I ordered this:...

First clutch of snake eggs are in the incubator. 8 good eggs, 1 slug (infertile).
Not a bad start considering I generally have 4-5 egg clutches.



So today I was out tracking fawns, and some old lady comes out to check her mail. I was across the street from her house, NOT on her property...and she's like "Excuse me...what are you doing?"
I reply "Tracking...

Apparently today I am a walking calamity. Opened the driver's side passenger door today to get my boots...WHAM, right in the shin. Then I closed my finger in the door. Ow. (No blood, but it's bruised.) Then, after getting a bag of corn, I closed the hatch and cracked myself in the head.

Glad work is over...while I still breath.

So on the way home...

Why is it all the other seasonal DEP guys get to work with cute college interns...and I get sprayed in the face with rancid deer blood like I'm in a Ben Stiller movie or something?

Not cool.

My job is the thing nightmares are made of.

WARNING: Spoiler contains graphic image, and a pretty disturbing story. Viewer discretion is advised.

Just sold $660 worth of snakes to a friend. That puts the house down payment fund at $1050 total.

Decided we are going to try for a house and mortgage. I REALLY don't want to bounce to another apartment. Plus, with 4 cats and 18 snakes, who the fuck is going to rent to us?
If that means being stuck in my town, so be...

Well...both of the apartments I was considering moving to in my old building are taken...

So now in 3 months...I have no idea what is going to happen...
and a mental breakdown is imminent...

-Added-
On the plus side, I owed my friend Jay another $450 from the original $3300 he loaned me for my car, and he told me I can call it...

It's taking every ounce of self control I have to stop myself from emptying my bank account, throwing Eddie in the cat carrier, packing my back pack and driving until I see a "Welcome to Washington" sign. (About as far from CT as you can get without going to Alaska...)

Sigh...

Just one of those days I guess...or more like months.
