So...tired... 
I woke-up uncomfortably early today as I had to launch an elaborate plan to miss a little work tomorrow. I scheduled a third interview at the foot-dragging human services agency that AmazonRed13 is working for. I phoned into work placing a little white lie about needing to pick up relatives flying for chiquitabonita and PornStarGuy's wedding on Sunday. In reality, I'll be freshly-scrubbed and wowing my future employers with my charm, wit and my willingness to exceed expectations (and in doing so, make twice as much money). 
Needless to say, my fingers and painted toes are crossed!
Speaking of wedding news, my father and step-mom will be in town for the event and we're trying to schedule some time together. I had flown out to Iowa to visit them this past Thanksgiving and may do so again this year. While they're in town, it looks as if I won't be able to do much with them. The register jockeying position is horribly scheduled in hanging out with others. I'm also cashing in a number of favors in order to make that interview tomorrow so, stretching myself more isn't likely to happen. Originally when considering the problem, I planned on giving notice at my job... The new position is hopefully due to start on the 1st, my family will be around just prior to that so, why not cut myself lose, visit casually for a few days and start a new job immediately thereafter. Hopefully the meeting tomorrow will shed a little more light on what my future and this week holds for me.
In the shear spontaneous delight catagory, I received a call from my dear friend Tamsyn on Sunday... Monday marked her five-year anniversary w/ Barnes & Noble, my once employer, as well. As I had been one of her close confidants on the job, as well as the person who'd first handed her the job application, she called my ass out to drinks at the Playwright in Hamden. Our former supervisor (and happily unemployed man-about-town) jesusslack drove the six blocks to close the bar and drunkenly admit to the need to update much more.
Now knowing where T works will hopefully allow me to bug her to hangout before chiquitabonita moves away, maximize the odd free coffee and discuss some custom framing work. 
Rather than my usual longer weekly entry, I'm going to be cutting it somewhat shorter. I've been wanting to update more often again in seeing others make efforts to do so, as well. Perhaps next time I'll remember the details of some of the Smart Playlists I've been dabbling with...perhaps.
