So, it's time to get a move on.

I started applying for jobs again. We'll see where I end up this time. Just when I finished one of my cover letters I looked out the window, and the sky was clearing. It was really awesome.

Even though it was bitterly cold (the revolving sign over the bank said 1C--that's cold) today was awesome. I even...

I watched a movie tonight. One of the characters blamed his son's behavior on MTV. I don't think I'm part of the MTV generation, or I've been too terribly corrupted by MTV. I'm part of a far more troubling movement--the internet.

Here I am in Boise, surrounded by family and what do I do? I go surf the internet on my laptop for most of...

Alright, I'm off to Boise for Thanksgiving.

I'll hopefully be able to find wireless over there, so I'm gonna try and stay connected.

So. This weekend really wasn't much of a weekend--sure, I did things, but I don't think I'll classify the period of Friday to Sunday a 'weekend'.

I ended up working three-quarter days on both Saturday and Sunday--it was quite ridiculous. However, it's getting awesome to see this house come together and become a 'home'. It's quite a transformation from when I started work at this...

So, I was better in the morning--thanks for all the well-wishings. The goodness lasted until I had to park downtown. Then it returned when I did some retail therapy.

I'm sort of indifferent now. It's better than going to sleep cranky, I guess.

I was buying clothes and for some strange reason, it makes me happy to be a medium in shirt sizes. It's like......

I was doing so well today--I was all gung-ho at work and I got shit done. I took and gave shit in equal amounts. I went to the munch afterwards and then to a friend's place. It was all great. I get home and I feel like shit now.

I'm not sure if I'm just tired, or if there's some sort of regression, but whatever...

I'm considering just not getting a real job any time soon. I'm having fun doing construction work, I could find some other acquaintance that needs help for some acceptable amount of money--help them out with whatever they need, get some money, learn some stuff and then move on to the next one.

It's a mite more fun and engaging probably than sitting at a desk....

Half of the time we're gone, but we don't know where

I had a really awesome weekend, and I'm not ready for it to be over...

My body hurts. I've been doing a lot of manual hurt-your-limbs-til-kingdom-come type labor.

However, in all of this, and some other events, I've realized that I really do like pain. Physical pain, that is. Emotional pain and mental anguish doesn't really do it for me.

When I hurt, my mind is free to process things without emotions being assigned to them. I'm able to have...

I just watched the entirety of Firefly today.

How's that for a TV Marathon...

I'm so tired and work is so early.

So. The guy I'm working for today told me why I was fired:

I broke the unwritten rule of professional offices

But Hotpockets, what's the Unwritten Rule?

The professional staff and adminstrative staff are not to mingle

I am an engineer by choice and training. However, I was hired on as part of the administrative staff. I hung out and learned and cooperated with the...
