i'm tired. i'm so fucking tired. tomorrow they are dragging me to a bar in north beach to celebrate hiring me. dragging. so, my vacation was about eleven and a half months. the longest vacation i've had in probably 28 years. 353 days. 8,472 hours. 508,320 minutes without work. i never did sell that house. last night was dope. in 29 days my odometer rolls over three decades. oh yeah, and interracial marriage was legally banned in parts of the USofA until 1967. |

. Someone on the other side of the cubicle is pinwheeling their arms. At about half-second intervals I see a right hand, then a left hand, then a right hand, then a left hand. |

i love it. i'm making 40% less per year than the last job i had. but on the flip side, i just figured out i'm making 150% more per hour. which was a huge part of the point. i wanted to make enough to fuel this stripped down lifestyle and still have time for the other things i want to do, like finishing the novel and writing the next one. something steady and sufficent but not all consuming. and the people i'm working with are great. they were going to take me out to the crowbar last night to celebrate my new hire, but the new dot version of the product was released yesterday resulting in a company wide 'happy hour' going on. so we went to the crowbar anyway, had a beer, then headed for the release party. the release party was open bar in the basement 'public bar' of an irish pub in north beach. everyone was getting tanked. the last company i worked for was so sober and PC and vacant. this new place is full of people i'd actually want to hang out with after work. what a fucking difference. |
. For some reason, I read "everyone was getting naked" instead of "tanked" the first read through. It's still good though. |

"uh, dean's not running anymore." and they went insane. all of them, in unison, "yes he is! yes he is! his name is still on the ballot!" i bet these people call bush a moron, too. the PRB, man, it's a different world in here. |
Nate, I feel your pain. |

i mean, im not sure if you want to be working, or are doing so out of necessity. i assume after so long, its necessity. sounds like its not going to take much of a mental toll which sounds allllright to me. there was some schmuck at the farmers market yesterday "got a minute to spare for the ACLU?" i replied "no, im buying leeks and onions". in liberal hippie-ville bohemian silverlake no one seemed to give a rats ass what this schmuck was offering. |
Check it out: the plant where Bush gave a big ol' speech touting how his tax cuts are good for the economy last year just closed - 1300 jobs down the drain. |
