Day 398 of 365 More. I used to joke that I was allergic to work. I’m starting to wonder if it might be true. I was amazingly healthy all summer. Not a cold. Not a headache. I was fine. But I’ve been coughing and wheezing all day today. Now my nose is stuffed up, my…
Day 395 of 365 More. So today I made the decision to accept an offer from what I was calling company #2. I was holding out a bit for company #1 to see what their offer was, but they still weren’t ready to make me one yet, and I like company #2 better anyway, so…
Day 391 of 365 More. So I had a second interview with company number one today. I guess it went ok. Supposedly they’ll be getting back to me by Monday. I need to call company number two tomorrow. So hopefully I can make a decision about things. I just hope I’m not getting ahead of…
Day 390 of 365 More. Let the cards fall where they may… Won my poker game this evening. It’s been a while since that’s happened. In fact not only did I win, I pretty much had a dominating chip lead the entire time. Maybe my luck is turning. I have a second interview with one…
Day 389 of 365 More. Actually had a pretty good job interview today. I’m pretty sure that I have a job there if I want it, which takes a lot of the pressure off for Thursday’s interview. Of course I’ve been wrong before, so I’m not out of the woods yet. But I do feel…
Day 388 of 365 More. I’ve been in a dreary mood today. I have no idea why. Honestly it was kind of a good day. Had a Labor Day BBQ with various friends from complete different social circles, which always makes for an interesting evening. Finally found out yesterday that I didn’t get the job…
Day 385 of 365 More. Happy birthday to me. Ok, yeah, I know it was almost a month ago. But on my birthday, my mother gave me a gift certificate to Best Buy. I wanted to wait to use it until there was something I really wanted. Today was that day. Earlier this week the…
Day 383 of 365 More. Gentlemen…we can rebuild him. Bigger! Stronger! Better in bed! I actually initially had this idea about a week ago when watching a commercial for the new Bionic Woman series that’s coming out this fall. Then when I talked about all of my lifelong injuries the other day I figured I…
Day 382 of 365 More. Not my initial idea for today, but I just didn’t have the time to get done what I was planning. Saw a bobblehead doll on our bookshelf and decided it might be cute to make myself into one. Personal note to myself. Save early and often. Even when you’re just…
Day 381 of 365 More. So I had my job interview today. I think it went well. I’m going to try not to jinx it. After I got home I dealt with some bills and then decided to soak in my hot tub to soothe my joints which have been aching a lot lately. In…
Day 380 of 365 More. Spent the morning watching Ninja Warrior with Steph and then went to a BBQ at her sister’s house and played some Nintendo Wii. It was a nice way to spend a Sunday. Need to get up REALLY early in the morning tomorrow. I have a job interview at 7:30, so…
Day 377 of 365 More. Mirror mirror on the wall Tell me mirror what is wrong? Can it be my De La Clothes Or is it just my De La Soul What I do ain’t make believe People say I sit and try But when it comes to being De La It’s just me myself…
Day 376 of 365 More. Ok, new plan. I’ve decided to start over. Not the project. I mean my life. Actually, better yet. I’m starting the entire universe over. Effectively immediately, I am devolving all of creation back into a cosmic cloud of dust. I think I’m going to take this here subatomic tachyon and…
Day 375 of 365 More. I’m still depressed but I’m trying to fight it. Spent the day working on editing all of my 365 entries from last year for a coffee table book. Then I applied for a bunch of jobs, so that I could pretend I have a future that doesn’t involve begging on…
Day 374 of 365 More. Depression breeds creativity. Apparently anyway. At mediocre creativity. See… I’m trapped. My only outlet is photography. It’s a metaphor, get it? Oh nevermind. Was once again hoping for a job call. Was once again disappointed. I do have a bead on a very short contract (maybe a week) with an…
