1. If I don't get ahold of the Texas Workforce Commission by 3pm tomorrow, I may not be recieving unemployment. I've called four times a (week)day since Thursday, to no avail. Long story, I'll explain later.
2. Remember that whole "quitting smoking" thing? To make a long story short, that was thrown out the window and in to moving traffic below. When I lost the job, I had too much time on my hands and too much to think about. My apologies for not mentioning it sooner, but I didn't right away because there were things on my mind and then forgot about it. I was reminded Thursday night when Cathy, who reads this blog from time to time, expressed surprise when I lit up. I'll get back to you on this one.
3. Even though I spent four hours yesterday writing a week's worth of posts, I'm not going to post them this week.
4. Even though I have three things I definitely want to post about this week, I'm probably not going to post on those either.
5. I am leaving town Friday morning, so no posting next weekend.
6. Between now and then, though, I'm going to be officially posting about the crap that no one cares about. Specifically:
7. I couldn't sleep last night because my bed made me itch. When I finally got up this morning, I had no pants. I am on my last pair of socks and underwear. I'm out of t-shirts. I haven't done laundry in one (1) month. Unlike previously when I ran into this problem, I can't afford to just go out and buy new clothes.
8. My room is a pig-sty, and I don't use that term lightly. So:
9. I'm going to use this blog as a listmaker for the various things I have to do and my progress. By the time I leave Friday morning, I'm going to have this place cleaned up, because if I do not:
10. I am going to call a certain
figure from my past that was obsessed with cleanliness and I'll ask for her help. That means that (a) I'll be repeatedly reminded by her that I terminated the relationship before she could make a clean man out of me, (b) I'll owe her, and (c) see her again before she's over it and all the complicatedness that entails.
Stay tuned...
Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
