sigh…<\/p>\n

No, I didn’t wreck the truck already, but effective immediately, I’ve been laid off. Its not that much of a surprise, there were some lay offs at the company a few months ago, and things haven’t gotten much better, but it still sucks. I really liked my job.<\/p>\n

So, I think I am going to go to my last chiropractor exam, and then do some quality drinking tonight. Tomorrow, I suppose I’ll start looking for a new job. Actually anisodragnfly<\/a> gave me a lead on something at CMU already, so maybe I’ll make out my resume tonight. That would be kind of cool, I could get tuition remission and go back to school and finish the philosophy degree. You can never have enough undergraduate degrees.<\/p>\n

Sigh… so much for buying houses and making sport truck modifications… I’ll have to settle for that 1\/4 full bottle of Old #7 over there. Did you notice how I said 1\/4 full instead of 3\/4 empty? That must be the optimist in me.<\/p>\n

Dammit! I really liked that house.<\/p>\n
