I think it's a testament to just how mundane my life has become that I never update my blog anymore. But then, it's kind of a Catch-22: when I do have a job and a social life, I have no time to spend working on this thing. But now that I have nothing BUT time, I have nothing to write about, so...yeah. I spend a...

Ok, so it wasn't a summer cold. It was asthmatic bronchitis! But at least I got some fun cough medicine out of the deal...

Thankfully, now it has passed, for the most part. Now I need to find a job! Any suggestions?

Things that suck:

1) Being unemployed.

2) Summer colds.

That is all for now.

This will neither be the most profound or most coherent thing I've ever written. But this is what I'm dealing with right now, and you all know that writing is how I cope.

Considering all I've been through the last few weeks, it's highly appropriate that I ended up back on the South Carolina coast. I only wish the circumstances were happier this time...

As it turns out, getting fired was the best thing that could've possibly happened to me. I already have two firm job offers and another interview next Saturday. All three jobs are a step up from the crappy job I just left.

It's good to be in demand.

Hey, remember last week when I said I had decided to stay here until they MADE me leave?

Well...be careful what you wish for. I was officially terminated today.

Actually, in all honesty, it was kind of a mutual "fuck you." I had considered showing up at that meeting with my resignation letter in hand. But, as it turned out, that would've been unnecessary, since...

Ok, so I haven't left this job yet. We got the ideal outcome in the primary (from the perspective of my campaign, anyways.) We've got a fantastic Democratic ticket this year, which should make my job a little easier. Plus, I've made some great contacts up here, from both a professional and a personal perspective. Despite my professional differences with the way the state party...

So, I'm still employed. Barely.

Long story short, thanks to some kind of data-entry snafu, I have no way of proving I've actually done anything here for the last three weeks or so. Granted, I know what I've done, my campaign knows what I've done, the local party knows what I've done, and my candidate knows what I've done. All of them, by the way,...

Dear GiddyIguana:

She's too young for you.

I don't care how cute she is or how much you two have in common. Ten years is practically a generation gap when you're talking about a 21-year-old. I know they say age is nothing but a number, and that's true...to a point. But remember when you were 26 and were messing around with those 18-year-old roommates? How...

I'm so digging my new home city right now. It's like Asheville, NC without the pretense. It's the town Spartanburg COULD'VE been if the Unitarian Universalists were running the show. I know I told my favorite gubernatorial candidate that I'd come back to South Carolina to help his campaign in November, but honestly, I'm considering putting down roots here. Yes, I like it THAT much....
