Surprisingly Delightful Maunday


Amazingly today was a rather nice day. In many many ways. I got a lead on a few jobs, most of which sound rather sketchy, but when yur desperate you go after sketchy anyway. The least scary of the prospects is the Target Warehouse job, which is unfortunately in Topeka, but is legitimate. The rest of them sound like I will be importing Chinese children or running a credit card scam, should be fun! Come Wednesday I will begin exploring my options on these jobs, I set up one 'interview' in Topeka and will hit up the target warehouse that is there on the same day. I say 'Interview' in these '' cause I don't want it to sound to respectable. This was the sketchiest of all, I'm just waiting to get knocked out from behind and have someone melt my eye off Hostel style.

The day continued to go nicely outside of the job front. It was kind of sad to not receive anymail, but that was far offset by the delightful weather outside when I stupidly checked for mail. Most of the rest of the day was spent chatting to Jessica and Drew, which was delightful as always. Jessica seemed to be having a nice day @ work, and she is positively wonderful to talk to when chipper. I then spend the rest of the day, cleaning up the kitchen, cleaning up the front room. Organizing bits and pieces of the other rooms and putting away some of the laundry. I'll finish the laundry in the morrow, was just to depressing to do all @ once tonight...

I had a decent conversation with Mark on the drive home Sunday (decent phone conversation with Mark is like winning the Lottery, which unfortunately we failed to do). I infact just inquired to my father as to whether anyone won the powerball *someone did*, and ohhh crap. I just remembered I forgot to call the twins on their birthday, damn this brain of mine. If Either of you read this, Happy Birthday! I'll have to try to remember to call them tommarah. Anywho back to Mark, when talking to him he sounded like he would indeed be headed back to his parents after his hospital appointment. Its not that I think that it is a bad decision, I am just bummed to have more Mark time stolen from me. Curse that shotgun.

The night then continued with the cooking of some kind of Chicken Shishcabob thingy from the shwans man, which everyone seemed to more or less enjoy but that I was not impressed by. Kathy, Drew and I watched Stargate. Jessica seems to have grown away from the gate. Which is a bummer cause I think it is fun when we all watch it together cause I'm a nerd like that. But is also maybe good cause now I can burn through it faster and get up to date, then we can just start watching it on normal TV once a week or whenver it is on. She reads the Internets spoilers on em anyway.

We started watching Gilmore girls on the weekend, which makes me very happy in that I have loved that show for quite some time, and it thrills me that she enjoys it to. She has a very ummm, not sure how to say it. She often thinks of my shows and droll, or fake, etc. So I found it to be quite excellent that she enjoyed watching the Girls, and am happy that we can watch them together.

Will Work For Food

Still have not gotten that job with Chad, really really hoping it will materialize here quickly. I know if nothing else Jessica is understandably getting sick and tired of going into work while I sit around all day. And Hell without Final Fantasy Online I've not got much to do all day, heh. And we really need the money right now, hell who ever doesn't need money. Other then that been having a good time looking @ the new magic cards and talking about our hopeful website Lorebroker.com (doesn't exist quite yet so don't bother going there.) I plan to try and learn 'Ruby' in my free time, its the programming language Computer-mastermind Drew chose to use for the website. It's frustrating so far, not that I could ever program that well, but it sucks that I forgot what little I knew, and my math skills are so out of practice as well. But if I was able to learn some basics I would hopefully be able to contribute in some small way. And if nothing else it will occupy my mind.

I got Jessica some hopefully cute, possibly awful Vday presents. They are ....drumroll...... a thermometer and an alarm clock, heh. Hopefully she will post pictures of them on her blog @ some point so you don't think they are totally terrible, maybe they are. But I thought they were cute. Other then that had a good Vday, went out to eat (accidentally ate something including gluten, not totally sure what it was so was sick last night.) Then I had a good time @ the old gym.

Feels really good to be back in the gym groove again. I vainly, or stupidly, or hell I Dunno some other 'ly' don't want to look fat and out of shape in my wedding photo's, and more importantly I don't want to be fat and out of shape. Going to the gym gives me more energy on a daily basis, lets me feel better, and hopefully makes me more useful in a physical labor job, which is about all I seem good for.

Life has been up and down since I last posted. I've had some really good days, some rather frustrating days (mostly @ work). Not sure if they are giving me less hour on the schedule lately cause they are mad about me changing my availability (which I did in thinking I would be working with Chad by now) or because they want me to quit, or because those were the only hours available. I'm hoping the latter, but would not be surprised if it was the previous. Myself and the Gatekeeper don't exactly get along.

So in summary I am excited about our website possibilities, excited about hopefully working soon, and hoping that my working will improve my current relationship, not that it is bad. Just that it is hard to have one person working full time (and then some, she works extra jobs, she's hardcore, gotta luv er) and one person not working, not going to school, and not writing the next Great American Novel.


P.S. Figured it would be rude of me to go this long without a post and not put up a graphic.....
