It's sunny for the first time in weeks and the whole town appears to have been possessed. Fruit is on sale, to an almost embarassing point, and my fruit basket is overflowing with mangos, kiwis, apricots, apples, etc. I just ate the most delicious apricot, ripe and juicy, made possible by our good friends in Chile. Better yet, gas is below 2.00 a gallon! So what are YOU happy about? |
Happy things: I might get my car back this weekend. Maybe. It's been in the shop since Thanksgiving. I miss my car. I have a giant caramel apple pie at home. |
I have paid all of my bills for the month, and I still have money left over. That's never happened before. |
|
The bad? There's about a 100% chance I won't get 6 months back pay from my (now defunct) company. I found out today I won't be offered my dream job in NJ. I have very little money and have to start job searching, which I hate. The good? No dream job offer. Since I'm staying here there won't be any major obstacles with the dream woman. :) I'll be heading to Philly for a week in february to set up a new Tilepile project. (I'll actually get paid for this one!) Yeah, it's sunny and all here, too. |
good: les cowboys fringants |
|
Bad: I have very little money to live on. I didn't get that library job. my shoulders huuuuurt. |
Bad: I overspent badly at Xmas and now need to knuckle down and pay off some serious bills. dammit. I do this every year. |
|
|
Bad: My mom lost six inches of her colon and is on a bag, my dad has 12 stitches in his head and no short term memory. My mom is due to have her surgery to reverse the bag between the time my sister is due to pop the baby and her hubby is due to leave for Korea, so I may have to go to Misery to help out. |
let that be a lesson to all of us -- you never truly appreciate what you got until it gets taken away. |
The frustrating part was that I am so far away right now and couldn't help out. The whole thing is funny, though. I call my Dad and he does "Gilderoy Lockhart" impersonations (for those who are Potter fans and know how he was in the end). Some guy at work yesterday threw a fit and made the guys go out and get my Dad a hat, cuz the stitches on my Dads head was grossing this guy out. Hehe...a former career Marine as grossed out by a few stitches on the back of my Dad's head......... |
sem's other girlfriend lives in auckland, me thinks. |
Eri that sucks about mom and dad. At least they aren't in Auckland, too. And I am also a member of the poor brigade, which would be bad if I stopped to think about it, so I don't. Damn my high morals. |
|
No friends to go dancing with here, though. San Antonio is filled with freaks of all sorts. |
Bad: cellphone turned off last night because I have a ginormous bill I can't pay. (Too many roaming charges in Tucson, methinks...) |
ding (those were made by a certain comedy website's forum members....i have a winRAR file with all of them on it.....A++) |
Bad: Im here as opposed to there. |
my apartment bad: it's still a mess |
bad: ...and so is everyone else. I know at least 5 people who are no doubt applying for this thing, as we speak. Seriously, who am i kidding. I have to make a whole new resume and somehow craft a cover letter without sounding like a retard, or a pretentious bastard. Job hunting could kill a person. Can i just write "I'll let you piss in my mouth to work for a toy company"? |
Drinking is bad. I had an excellent time last night, but fuck me am I hungover this morning. Or still drunk. Or something. I need mcdonalds. |
what to do, what to do. |
