Thankful Thursday

One more day and then the weekend is here.  That is really good news.  Shame there aren’t more weekends.

Last night on Dirty Pop they were talking with Vin someone who stars in Showtimes TV Series Gigolos.  It’s a reality show about straight male prostitutes – basically free straight porn.  The guys look awesome, I watched an episode last night.  It’s different but if your up for that type of content give it a watch, you won’t be bored.  I found it on demand, not sure when it airs so as they say check your local listings.

Speaking of hot guys I was watching American Restoration the other night and got all excited when they brought the dunking booth out and wanted Tyler to get into it.  I thought I might get to see him shirtless. I’ve got a mad crush on him but am pretty sure he is straight.  Still I can’t help but dream.

It’s been an okay day, busy as usual but not crazy busy.  I’ve got a whole Intranet site to redesign and I am not a web developer so it’s kind of cumbersome.  This will be one of those tasks where I am happy when it’s done. 

I am doing the big count of Windows XP machines and man alive were in the 70’s already.  That will be a lot of hardware to replace and odds are I will be told not to replace it since it’s working fine today.  Or we will replace it but do it at a slow rate.  I get it, that will be one hell of an expense and I keep saying it but I am glad it’s not my bill. 

Got a tax form last night for my late partner, the amount on it was $45, I’m like come on it’s $45 what is the big deal why do we need to get the government involved over $45.  Ah, well he got crazy statements every other year he was alive so now that he is gone why should things be different?  Last year got him a refund so I am hoping for one in the same this year.

That’s all I know other than I need to get back to it.  I had to gobble lunch down today because I got a couple phone calls and they took up my time.  I figure it all evens out with a little break for blogging. 

Talk with you peeps later.

72 28 13

Looks like the start to some winning lottery numbers.  Go ahead try them, maybe you might win something.

The 72 stands for the number of the week of unemployment I am on.  The 28 is the number of contacts I have made just this week.  I know I’m impressed with myself.  Of course all of the phone interviews help.  The 13 well that’s just because today is Friday the you guessed it 13th!

So much for bad luck.  I had a recruiter contact me and tell me that one of the places I was submitted to wants to talk with me.  They will be calling to set up a phone interview and if things go well then they will request a face 2 face.  I called the charity got voice mail, so I sent an e-mail to the guy I interviewed with and his boss.  Thus far no response but I’m done, unless they give me a reason to check back I am going to assume they are passing me over.

The place I talked with yesterday notified me today via e-mail that they were moving forward with a background check on me.  Perfect timing, I figure the things like credit reports should come back with in a day or two and then my bankruptcy won’t show since I am not filing until Monday and just because I filed doesn’t mean the court will mark my credit report right away.  I will ask my lawyer for more information on that come Monday.

It was a cold and rainy day here.  Of course I slept in and got up late.  Had breakfast, checked my e-mail and was ready to start the day.  We had plans but since it was so late, we elected to defer them until Monday.  Instead we retreated to my partners bed to cuddle and rub on each other.  I had plans of a nice massage for me and a nap, but that didn’t happen. 

Whenever it is that I go back to work one of the first things I will do is book an appointment at a local spa for a massage, I have really missed them and I think what I have been through is reason enough to reward myself.  The other thing I will do is go to my local Target.  I haven’t been there since I lost my job because they have far too many things that I want and I didn’t want to go hog wild.  However, once I know I have cash it will be a different story.  Two other things I would like to upgrade my cell phone to the iPhone 4S so that I can have Siri and I would like an iPad 2 or 3 (even though they call it iPad, I still call it 3) with wireless only.  I realize it will be a while but hopefully I can make my dreams come true.

Last night I was super sleepy.  My partner started talking to me, that woke me up.  I got back in my lull and decided I should call it a night.  I hit the bed and wham I am wide awake.  So I talked and Jumper cuddled with me.  I rolled over and he followed me.  Then he started talking.  I think he was saying shut up we are trying to sleep.  Him and I talk back and forth.  He says something in meoweeze and I say something back in meoweeze and we go on for minutes at a time, kind of funny.  I know he loves me.  Furry beast!

If you saw the premier of American Restoration on the History Channel then you will know what a Rocket Slide is.  There was a local park when I was growing up that had one of these.  I was scared to death of it but eventually got over my fear and began using it.  Me and my partner were in the neighborhood of the park so we stopped by, they replaced it with modern playground equipment.  Ah, well it was great to see it on TV.  I had no idea that there was more than one of these. 

Speaking of TV I saw on my TiVo there is a marathon of Undercover Boss this weekend on TLC.  Just putting it out there in case you enjoy the show as much as I do. 

I mentioned earlier that it has been raining here.  The temperature has dropped as well, feels more like Spring during the day and Winter at night.  Thankfully I haven’t changed my wardrobe.  The weather can be so fickle.

So that is my Friday the 13th.  Nothing bad happened, but I’m not really superstitious and neither is my partner.  Hopefully, nothing bad happened to you or in your world.  Enjoy your weekend.  I sure hope with the good numbers that I am nearing the end of my search for a job.  Please oh please, let it be so!   Talk with you peeps later!
