1 more day until Friday

Were at the almost end of the week.  I think we should be able to fast forward to Friday.  I am kind of sleepy now part of that is from the circumstances here and part of it is just my body telling me a nap is a good thing. 

Last night I had a horrible dream I was taking care of my grandmother who suffered some kind of massive injury to her arm, it looked like a cross between a skin graft and a severe burn.  I found some aloe and was putting that on, much to my surprise it helped.  Then the alarm went off and I realized oh crap it was a dream, time to get going.

The children all boycotted me last night so I slept alone.  You would think that you mean I got a good nights rest but no I woke up in the middle.  I am taking more and more sleeping medicine in the hopes that I can achieve a good nights rest.  I think the only way that I am going to sleep easy is once this latest part of the nightmare that I am living comes to an end.  I can’t wait rest, relaxation and peace of mind.  I have so many ideas on how to celebrate but first I have to get the new job. 

Speaking of the job hunt, it’s kind of dry out there.  I get a lead here and there.  I have done some cold surfing just looking at different companies websites that I had from my past bought with unemployment.  No one is hiring. 

I got a follow up letter from my friends boss who told me they do not have an opening right now.  Okay, so I tried and if things don’t work out with your current employee you know who to call.  I can take a no and/or rejection but after so many you wonder what in the world am I doing wrong and why is it that no one wants me. 

Well it’s still very much an employers job market.  They can afford to be picky.  The mere fact they have an open position means they have a problem and who they chose to fill the position with has to be able to fix the problem and also find someway to make them money or save them from costly expenses.  It is a game of cat and mouse – if you play long enough eventually you will win.  Now if I just remember that the next time I get depressed about the situation. 

More and more people here are letting the circumstances take over their life.  Some people are willing to take pay cuts just to have a job.  I’m not one of those people.  I know that I am barley making it on what I have now so at a minimum I need what I am making now, if I can get a little more well all the more better for me.  I do need a job but I’m not willing to go down in pay just because my employer decided to go out of business.  That clearly isn’t my fault.

So outside of work, things are pretty well normal.  I paid bills last night and the water heater coming out of savings is really going ot hurt me.  I thought about paying 1/2 of the bill now and the other 1/2 later.  However, considering the interest it’s better to just part with my money and pay it off.  I have also scheduled a payment to the Bankruptcy Court for their portion of my late partners income tax refund.  I figure might as well get that out of the way before things get too far out of control. 

It’s hard to believe I started with a nice sum and now it’s dwindling down like I said I didn’t want it to.  Getting another job will help but only if they give me a raise.  I’m not looking to make out like a Madoff just a decent honest living for a decent honest days work.  While my dreams, desires, demands are not unreasonable the challenge is to find someone that will go along with them. 

In surfing around I learned that Enlisted got cancelled.  I am not happy about that but it’s the way things go.  There is plenty of other shows on TV to watch.  Speaking of TV if you love ice cream and chocolate pick up some Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Therapy.  It can get a little messy but it is really good.  Chocolate ice cream, chocolate pudding and chocolate cookies all in one pint.  Yes, it’s rich and you probably can’t eat it it all in one sitting, but it is so good.  I had Peanut Butter Cup last night and it was good too.  I think I will be polishing it off tonight.

The bigger challenge for me is to figure out what I am going to eat tonight.  I know it will be frozen I just hope it’s enough.  I am leaning towards Lasagna but not sure just yet.  That takes around 15 minutes to cook and I don’t know that I am that patient. 

I know I live such an exciting life.  It’s boring beyond belief.  I spoke with my friend last night and looks like from the sound of things I will be getting together with her and her grandson to work on his computer.  He’s only 16 and working with someone that young might not work out so well for me.  Just let me sit back and do my thing.  He has such confidence in me that he thinks if I can’t fix it no one can.  That is quite honorable but it’s very far from the truth.  There are smarter people in computers and in the world than me.  I am not discounting my abilities but I know my limits and try not to exceed them.  They are about an hour away from me and the best part is once we are done, my reward is food.  I hope it happens but I don’t want to get started too early because well I need to be able to sleep in a bit. 

Back to work and looking forward to much closer to the end of the day and being able to go home and let my hair down, so to speak.  The political tension here is high and people are treating this like it’s throat punch Thursday.  When it’s just another Throw Back Thursday.  I say throw Thursday out and lets move on to Friday. 

Talk with you peeps later.
