Presently

Thank you, ladies who gave suggestions on previous post….

I think that I am opting for “move to a town with more things to do” - I had a job interview Tuesday and another coming up Saturday, in two different places. Either job I am taking a pay cut but this is immaterial to me - I need something wherein I do not live in fear of layoff, and either position would suit.

And, I think if I still have difficulties I shall start my own book group. Or maybe a hiking group.

Also I have just discovered the tax man owes me enough money to mostly pay off my credit card debt. Hmmmm.

Out of it

I wonder how many posts are apologies for gaps in posting?

I fail as a blogger. Seriously, I have not words to spare. I spend my days working in a job that I took in a town I don’t want to live in, being unmotivated as I sit through meetings wherein we are told there will be cuts… no mention of layoffs but y’know, the Governator just slashed the statewide budget, and that means a year from now….

There’s nothing more depressing than a dead end job than a dead end job PLUS a heartache. PLUS a town that’s so depressing it borders on the twilight-zonish. I go looking for book clubs, hiking groups, whatever meets my hobby list, and find… nothing. Oh, the Sierra Club, but I’m not so sure I like the politics of it, plus the local group appears to exist to recycle batteries and pick up highway trash. The group to the north and west of me, now, they go out camping and hiking.

Retail therapy dictated that I pick up a new camera, small and simple enough for backpacking. My current camera weighs about a pound and the lens cover sticks shut, resulting in random black boxes where there should be pictures. Also a 4GB memory card.

I think I have one beer left. Perhaps I can write, for a change. I’ve been listless and unmotivated for too long.

Little Tortilla Boy!

You have to watch it all the way through. Funny guy.

Back to work

Vacation is over, back to work with me!

Had a good time with friends at new year’s and took advantage of a few sales, and now it’s time to pay the rent again and go see if my office is still there.

Sigh.
