hello all. i know i've been away for awhile. it is not by choice, but by necessity. i worked quite a few days in a row and had no time for internet access (or sleep for that matter). thankfully i have a break for a few days and am able to update you folks on the happenings of my life.
well, there was the working-myself-to-death portion of the last two weeks, which turned out to be a saving grace. i called my phone company on friday to comfirm a payment of $200 had been received. when i talked to the operator, she informed me that yes the payment had been received, but, unless i come up with the additional $360 that is past due for this billing cycle by saturday the 14th, my outstanding debt will be written off and sent to a collection agency. well, as you might have guessed, this was quite shocking, especially since the last person i talked to told me by sending in the $200 before oct.14th i would avoid this or at least postpone it for a little longer. so now i am in a financial cinch, as it were. the money is due by saturday. i will receive direct deposit this coming friday for the long string of work i just completed. i can send a check and the money will be there on friday, but i will have little to no money til the end of this month. so, having no choice, this is what i will do, but unfortunately i will most likely miss out on SGB and other fun activities that come with having money to spare.
on a better note, things are going well with the job(s). atmo is giving me a good amount of gigs. olney is olney and dirk is dirk. he gives me what work he can and i appreciate it. atlas was good for two weeks, but i haven't heard anything from them lately. they are fairly new, though, so i anticipate they will contact me sooner or later for more work.
the only real negative i can see on the work front is the cost of commuting from baltimore to dc everyday. i don't even want to guess how much i'm spending in gas and metro fare. but, for research's sake, i'm noting it each day. i am quite anxious about moving. i'm starting to look for a place in silver spring, bethesda, the district, or even laurel or columbia. i need to cut down on my commute and increase my sleeping.
on a somewhat lighter note: like most hot-blooded young adults, i have been VERY horny lately. no luck so far on the dating scene, though i can't say i've actually been trying. i came to terms with kellan (a former olney intern with which i had a one night stand) and his not being interested. otherwise, i haven't been looking, though there are quite a few cute guys at my jobs. none the less, every time i even think about persuing something with someone from work, the same thought runs through my mind, "don't shit where you eat." and frankly, i need to pay bills more than i need to get laid, even though i really REALLY want to get fucked. for now, i go to bed wanting sex, i'll dream about it (sometimes in drastically poignant detail), and wake up to forget about it until after work (or dwell on it further as i lie in bed splendidly doing nothing).
i hope everyone else has been well. as always, my thoughts are with you.
now that i've blabbered on for so long, i'm gonna go. i've got to do research for getting to work in virginia and i have a family dinner tonight.
stay real. stay true. and remember, others love you.
