Yep, awake too late...something that is becoming an increasing trend. I'd stayed up particularly late on Friday... The qualifiers not being seeing Bent w/ SGCT at Toad's Place, nor was it going back to ElmCItyDrunk's for a Dio after-party. It wasn't continuing to the CatWalk to visit baby_donut or to finally meet Anarcha.
It was getting home at 3am, dehydrated & voice lost from screaming bad 80's metal and randomly bumping into Starisea on-line. I was able to play e-mail tag with my very first SG friend and we basked in having near-live communication. Next time - phone call as we won't have to worry about my degrading spelling drunk and in dire need of sleep an hour into our conversation.
I received a call back from the human services agency I'd first applied to when I reckoned my former job was on it's last legs... At my interview, I answered all the right questions with all of the correct fleshed out and engaged responses one would hope for. I felt I did quite well until I never heard back from them again.
AmazonRed13 works for this same agency and as she only can, tore her agency a new one after they complained out loud that there was a lack of people working there who fit my near-complete description. She'd been the person to direct me in interviewing there and their HR dept dropped the ball. Within the next couple of days, I'm aiming to keep it in motion through a second interview and some better idea of what my employment options are after all. As much as I enjoy the gig I've stumbled into, the pay is atrocious!
The one thing about this sales associate position is working evening hours allows one to read...lots! Prior to my bringing a book in, counter help normally passed the time droning on about how slow things are....how many hours until break, let alone the shift's end. I started toting short story collections, culinary writing and a couple of graphic novels. Thus far I've reread In The Devil's Garden, The Exes and The Golden Compass. Waiting in the wings are: The Big U and The Sheltering Sky.
When not scrambling to get a few minutes of computer face time, I been catching up w/ DarkRabbit and picking up on our old video game habits...dinner at my place with a 6 hour binge of hacked Xbox usage. With the announcements of specs on the upcoming XBox 360, it leaves me thinking of what uses I could devise for our current unit. I'm thinking of turning it into a Linux box for running Myth TV on...it basically a Linux-based PVR/Tivo substitute. All the functionality, none of the cost!
*ponders*
Perhaps lastly, many apologies on being poky posting event pics... Computer time with my new schedule has been scarce and conflicts with other interests and other's interests. I'll see about having them up for the weekend by the latest.
