Out of boredom

2005-03-02 - 12:37 a.m.

Yeah, yeah. Another entry out of sheer boredom. I know -- I'm sad. But that's okay because I LIKE me! :-P

I got rid of the fun-loving animated header at the top of this page. My computer is faster than a marathon contestant on crack, and it was still a s-l-o-w load for me.

That sounded perverse, somehow.

I made a boo-boo in my last entry. There were words written about what I thought was a prank phone call. My face must've turned a thousand shades of red when I played it back for Nelson -- because this time, I understood what was said. (Must've been listening with my bad ear)

Turns out, it was one of the mentally challenged clients at the group home that Nelson works in. Apparently, one of the staff thought it funny to put the client on the phone and ask him [Nelson] if he could come in early.

Anyway, my apologies.

Earlier, I went to the local convenience store to grab some Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper -- which I enjoy very much. I also grabbed two local papers to resume my job search. One of the cashiers asked me why I always grabbed the paper late, and I explained that I usually sleep pretty late and that I was job-hunting.

"We might have a couple of openings here in a week or so", she says. We'll see about that -- but then cashier #2 says, "There's a job posting right outside the door. You say you were in health care, right?"

So I look. The number looks vaguely familiar. Why, no wonder! It's my ex-client's number! When I left him to go work in Hell, I had my downstairs neighbor Maria replace me. Apparently she's resigned. I don't know what's going on anymore. And quite frankly, I'm not sure that I even care. But kind soul that I am, I emailed him to check in.

It wasn't that I disliked working for him (okay -- there were times I did) -- it's just that I made so little money and only worked with him Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Plus I needed health benefits. I tried back then to pick up another client to make full-time so that I could obtain benefits, but client #2 decided he wanted me to do beer runs for him at 9 a.m. Not good for a dried-out alkie like myself. I promptly left.

So, that was that. It was just odd to see that job posting there, of all places.

Anyway. Gotta run. My porn is almost finished downloading.

Just kidding.

XOXOX,
