I'm not in love with the new site design. It takes more clicks to get at anything, and I can only link to the blogs of the five people who come to the top of my friends list underneath my favorite SG's. I shall refrain from doing a top 5 friends list.
As of this moment I have a job that's compatible with cdl school, thought it's a lot of commuting, ass early, eight bucks an hour. but it allows me to do the weekend classes. There's a second shift job I have an interview for next week that's 3.50 more an hour but won't allow me to do the weekend classes, since it would intefere with the extra 4 hours wednesday evening that weekend class entails. I could however do the morning CDL schedule, in which case I'd be leaving the house at 6 am and arriving home at night at 11pm for 5 months. It's not a gauntlet I'm really looking forward to running, but I spose I'm setting myself up for that kind of schedule as a career getting into trucking. I just watched a documentary about the holocaust and this schedule I'm contemplating is a lot milder inconvenience than what a lot of people have had to deal with in their lives.
there was also a job really close by that I could ride a pedal powered bike to get to, that would work with the weekend cdl training schedule, as long as i'm ok with 6.75 an hour. fuck fuck fuck fuck. there is a direct relationship between scheduling inconvenience and the jobs available to me right now. At least if I get the second shift job I'll have weekends off and maybe enough money to get my car going again.
in other new I've started to get my ass in gear as far as doing some shooting with a couple of my antique cameras. takes some fiddly engineering to get 120 rollfilm to work in cameras from the twenties and thirties that take large obsolete rollfilm sizes, but it can be done. My image processing computer is getting really constipated lately, but hopefully I'll have some good pics to post here.

I'll be facing a typical New England parking issue tonight. There's a distinct lack of available truck stops in the north-east... and so many places dis-allow truck parking. Just a few years ago I could pretty easily park at any Wal-Mart if necessary. This was doubly handy because I actually need to do some shopping there (not just park somewhere with access to bathrooms). But lately it seems like every Wal-Mart I encounter has a sign that says "No Semi Parking". Tomorrow (Monday) morning I'm making a delivery at a NH Wal-Mart. I'm on the fence about actually trying to park there overnight or not.
