my first day off for the week and my boss, that insidious bastard, has found a way to make me miserable, possibly for weeks to come.

on friday he had a new guy named merlin, whom i have never seen before, ride with me under the guise of "training" him.

this morning...

I got laid off in January and never got another job, despite several interviews. I was at the same company doing tech writing and marketing for 8 years, but apparently, they were so behind the times that I was left qualified for nothing in this competitive job market.

So I decided to try and make money in less traditional ways (i.e., working at a desk for the Man), by peddling kids' oil portraits, freelance magazine writing, making homemade bath products, etc.

However, I am a member of a 2-income household, or more accuately, one income and some occasional extra cash, so I have some leeway.

Are you boxing w/ your boss? Or is it someone else...

That's a good idea, but then I'd have to invest in the cutting thingy...and what medium?

So the band I went to see last night turned out to be the River City Rebels. They were a good punk band. But they went on so late I only got to hear a couple of songs and then we had to leave. I have to wake up early in the morning. Oh well. It was fun and I saw a bunch of people I know.

you know what one of the most satisfiying things in my day is?

watching a squirrel make it across the road.
really.
it is the most nerve wrecking thing to see a squirell in traffic because they're so disoriented and they don't know where to go, and they do that " i fake right, then left, no wait...maybe right?" and you're sure they'll get hit...

P.S....you can go ahead and be me for a week. I don't mind

evillyn:

nope, not my finals week...but I do have a grueling EKG test on Monday...and a paper about a home health ileostomy patient due on Tuesday...(including a care plan, ugh) and a day at the Dialysis center on Tuesday as well (fucking renal failure patients). So have fun.

Oct 29, 2004

alright...so here's how i am with it.

i'm missing something and i have to go get it 'cause it's not going to meet me halfway.

and... "real" jobs and "real" relationships at this time in my life are a diversion and need to be overcome.
they hold nothing for me but a false sense of security, mediocrity, contempt and a possible future suicide.

in order...
