Hello SG friends and neighbors,
I hope this finds you well and good and enjoying the early holiday season.
So Christmas is almost upon us. The missus and I are going home to GA. Looking forward to seeing everyone, and looking forward to the drive. Should be a hoot.
Meanwhile, I scored a job interview for tomorrow. Its weird, so weird that I am not comfortable talking about it here due to its weirdness. But I have a friend who used to do it, and I called him for advice.
"Walk away," he said, unless there are some very specific factors at play.
Did not paint a petty picture. But what the fuck is a brother to do? I have been out of work since we moved here. I need a gig. An if they offer me the job I'm taking it. Mind you, I'll just keep putting in applications until I get something else, but I'll do it for now.
In other news . . . looks like we are getting a new dog.
TOO SOON, cries my heart. But it fell in our lap - a dear friend just got a new dog, but due to circumstances can't keep her any longer. Would we take it, he asked? Of course.
I am not ready for a new dog. I feel like I am still in mourning for Bacchus, Dog Jesus keep his shaggy orange soul.
But the missus is more than ready for one. And it sounds like just her kind of dog - a tiny little silly googely-eyed thing. Not what I would have chosen (why would you feed a dog that has zero chance of killing an intruder?), but I think she will make the missus very happy. My wife deserves a dog that loves her unconditionally, that will sit in her lap and give smooches day and night. That's my idea of a nightmare pet, but sometimes you have to take one for the team.
(by the way, that's likely what they will put on my tombstone. He Took One For The Team).
So that's my life. Hope yours is better, and I wish you all the very best for the holidays and 2013! Have a great year! Anytime you feel down, put a hand up, and your old pal Punkinhead is there in spirit, slapping you a high five. You are mighty!
be well,
punkinhead
Taoist thought of the day: Goethe said " Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid." Align yourself with the Universe, and you align yourself with all the force in the universe - that's a bit closer to the edit.
Pet Report: Sai Vindaloo has been moody ever since Bacchus died. Sometimes he's angry, sometimes stand-offish, sometimes she is so totally needy that you can't get anything done with her in the room. She is sitting here right now, just hanging out with me and the missus. Now, the question is . .. how is she going to get along with the new dog? My prediction is going to go like this - a week or two of hiding in terror, followed by a week or two of terror-based aggression, followed by a few months of feeling each other out. By this time next year my goal is that they blissfully ignore one another. Cross a paw.
