Guess I should write something today, even if I don’t really feel like it…
Got surrounded by 6 cop cars tonight…Last run of the night, some folks I picked up at The Marks, took downtown to Vinyl…Gave them my number, and they called back needing a ride from Blake Street…
So, I get there, and they’re (well, one of them is) in the process of arguing *vehemently* with this one guy, god knows why… Everyone piles in the car after many rounds of “get in the car, Jim…” “Get in the car, Jessica.” “Steve, just get in the car, we’ll go pick him up around the corner…just can we *please* get out of here?”
Yadda Yadda… Finally, they get everyone save one into the van, (the one guy took off on foot) and we drive around downtown looking for the MIA dude… and then I get a call from dispatch asking me to return to where I picked them up… fine… Drive over there, and the cops stop me in the middle of the intersection of 20th and Blake…all 6 cars full… They open up the door, pull one passenger out for a minute while they get another guy in a car to come ID the folks in my car…and whoever they’re looking for isn’t with me…and so I go take them home…
Looking forward to turning in the van tomorrow…*ugh*
Damn, I need a real job… 8-4, Monday to Friday… 60K would be nice, but that’s *damn* unlikely to happen in this economy…I’d settle for $35 to 40k…but even that’s unlikely at the moment… Looks like I’m headed to an $11/hour job typing things or something…
I’m really depressed, in a happy sort of way… As long as I can bury my head in the sand about the incredibly crappy turn my life has taken in the last 11 months,or if I’m distracted doing things that are reasonably entertaining, I’m OK… When I can’t do that, or when the few things that *are* going right stop doing so, I get *unbelievably* distressed… I really want to just run away and hide… I know I can’t, and I know I *should* be working to make life better…and I’m trying, but, damn…it’s hard sometimes…
Meg didn’t get the job at Carmel, and I’m kinda torqued at them for their reasoning…It was because they wanted a long-term-trooper… “years and years”… Hell, nobody stays more than 5 years in a position anymore… Meg? She’d stay with Carmel, and move up… This other Yokel? Likely to move ON, not UP… *grumble*
Just did a Monster search… Only 30 jobs in the WHOLE NATION for a “Web Devloper” in the last 3 days…only 61 in the last 7 days…*sigh* Right, we’re not in a recession?
Damn… it’s 6 in the morning… With the lights on and the blinds down, can’t tell that the sun will be coming up soon… I think I may just stay up today…
