Ramble...

I should probably write more; it would help.

Roger's gone. Well, he's in New Mexico at training now. I'm trying to keep myself busy, but that isn't working so great. I've managed to impose a false sense of urgency on myself by making myself clean and organize things every day since he's left. The problem with this is that it needs to be done, but it's not of the utmost importance, and I have begun to stress myself out by trying to keep myself busy in order to keep my mind off things. *sigh*

The good news is that I managed to replace the power supply on my computer (all by my lonesome) and now my computer is working again. Hopefully I can convince myself to sit back and watch a movie and just chill for a bit.

I had my interview at Career Concepts. I told them I wouldn't accept a job that paid less than $9.50/hr. I'm not making quite that much right now, but it has to be enough to get me to leave bby. Despite my despise for the place and [most of] the people, it pays decent; especially for the minimal amount of work I do most days and the frequent lack of supervision I have. I like being left alone. That's a hard thing to find in a work environment though. It's also one of the many reasons I loved working at Snap-Tite long ago: 2nd shift w/ 2 other ppl and no supervisors - I was in heaven. We didn't slack off. I'm not aiming to have a job I can get away with slacking off at, I'm aiming to have a job where ppl aren't trying to crawl up my ass bitching 24-fucking-7.

I may have an interview to work for the city. The chic from Career Concepts is supposed to be setting up an interview for me. It's basically and secretary job, but it only pays $8/hr. I almost don't even want to consider it, but then bby will go and do something else to piss me off. My tendency changes day-to-day. I don't want to work 8-5 shift M-F either. But it's hours, and hours means money. And we all know how much bullshit that is. Supposedly, if you start working at this place as a temp and they like you, you can hurry up and take the civil service exam (which I was gonna do anyway) and get hired for real. I don't know how much it pays then though. I kinda want to have my bby discount still when we move and need new shit.

Anywho. The biggest challenge in my life this week (other than fixing the comp) was figuring out a way I could run the air conditioner and my computer at the same time with blowing a circuit. It blew like 3 times in one day and I was pretty aggravated. I now have my computer on an extension cord to the outlet across the room. So far this has fixed the problem. Hopefully it can be a permanent solution.

I would like to add that my family is awesome. I don't usually get to spend much time with any of them because I was always busy, but I've been trying to a little more lately and now that Roger is away they've all been trying to keep me busy and give me something to do . It's helping a little.

I'm annoyed about the available friend-type options I have left for time-occupation, but I'll get into that later. I'm trying to decide if I should go to bed now and get up early to go to the gym before work. The 1 and only advantage of going to the gym in the morning: if you're already in that habit you are not effected by the shitty lack of hours on the weekend. I usually go to the gym at night, but they close at 10 on Fridays (so I can only go if I'm not working), 5 on Saturdays and 1 on Sundays. Seriously. What the fuck is that shit?

The car is up for sale. I need to get rid of it. I also need the money to get Roger's car inspected.
