In which it’s looking up. Mainly because it’s raining and NOT SO GODDAMNED HOT.
This morning I drove Snow to the airport. We had a lovely conversation about geek stuff on the drive up. He also paid me for my trouble, which was awesome of him and means I’ll eat all weekend! Yay! (Actually, I wasn’t really going to starve, but one exaggerates for effect.)
After returning his car to his lovely wife V., I went to WGC for a pseudo-interview. I’d like to work for them training people on Xactimate, but it sounds like they’d want me to take three or four weeks of training before I could do that. I’m interested, because I think doing software training would be fun, but I need a little income in the nearer future. If only I was eligible for full unemployment benefits! That would be the perfect scenario: get money for going to school! Yow!
Bread and I had fights on the phone the past two days, but today we did much better. He got the laptop safe and sound, which is a relief — the idea of it in the hands of UPS made me sad. He’s still riding the sales emotional rollercoaster, so I suppose I have to get EVEN MORE STOIC when dealing with him. *rolleyes* (I can say condescending things like this about other people because I, dear reader, am perfect. But you already knew that.)
After WGC, I went by Iowa Workforce Development but the chick I needed to see was at lunch. So I came to the rental store to visit Mr J and his DSL connection. When customers walk in I smile at them and say, “Hi! I don’t work here, so I can’t help you!” I’m sure they love it.
Rescue Kitty is still living here because the local no-kill shelter can’t seem to call J back. Rescue Kitty is a love. I’m gonna go pet her then go back to the employment office.
Please send some of that coveted rain to Memphis. It’s been 100 all week. The whole damned city is bitchy.
Glad things are looking up a bit – I’ve just caught up with your last couple of weeks posts. Ouch!
I know the lady that takes the cats. Just go leave at her house. It’s right down the street from me.
I’m so glad the kitty was saved!
