Joe's New Blog

Nothing special, this is just my third effort at writing a blog about my life and what goes on in it: Hobbies, cooking, work, maybe the occasional book or DVD review, and so forth. Nothing really noteworthy, but this is sort of a little subset of my world...

Crawling toward infinity...

I'm still pretty damned depressed, although I'm gradually getting better toward things.  The girlfriend and I stayed up pretty late last night.  She wasn't very tired, and we played a couple of games of Scrabble.  She's now beaten me three games out of four that we've played, but they've all been close games except for one.

She found out yesterday that she was going to be closing today, instead of opening as she'd previously been scheduled.  She was going to take a shower this morning, but she wound up hitting the snooze button a few too many times and had to skip it.  I slept in a little after she left, and finally hauled my ass out of bed at around ten.

I made a pot of coffee and checked through some of my e-mail and such, after spending quite a little while trying to get the damned piece-of-shit laptop booted back up again.  I got an e-mail from Betty telling me about some jobs that are going to be opening up at the new Cowboys' Stadium, and I'll take a look at them, but that's going to be a hellacious commute if I need to do it.  Every time I see stuff like that, I feel just a little more depressed that I screwed up what was probably the perfect job for me.  Such an idiot...

Anyway, I watched a few shows on the tube, had some coffee, and called the dealership to see if I can get my car inspected today.  Not yet, at least.  They're still waiting for the machine to be fixed.  I think I might go down to my storage unit and see if I can dig out some of the stuff that I might be able to sell.  I really need to go to the unemployment office and such today, but I think I'm going to wait until tomorrow morning.  I also need to return the spare power adapter for the laptop from work, and I want to go talk to a few of the temp agencies and see if I should bother filling out an application when I'm going to be going out of town in just a couple of weeks.  Hopefully I'll get more and more into it over the next week or two, and I'll be totally ready to hit the market by the time we get back.  I did have at least the ambition to shave this morning, which I haven't done since Thursday, I think.  Got to keep the face looking at least halfway decent, so prospective employers aren't immediately turned off by the fur.  Anyway, I guess I should try to find something useful to do with the day...
