Yesterday, I found out the news I've been both dreading and hoping for:  I have less than a month here at my current job.

I hate the phone, which means I won't miss people calling up and complaining about their computers.  Yet, I also like eating and paying the rent, which put me in a quandary for the last eight months.  It's a common dilemma:  do I continue to do work that drives me nuts (and even at one time drove me to give up blogging for a while) just to pay the bills, or do I find something else, knowing full well that I'd be out of pocket again?

Thankfully, that decision is now out of my hands.  I've been looking for something on the QT for a while now, but now I'm going to ramp up my search.

Time to polish up the old resume.

All right, where did the sun go?

Woke up horribly late this morning, mostly because the sun, my natural alarm clock, decided to go and hide behind some clouds, and then forgot that I had to drive Josh to work.  That quickly got worse when I decided to take the scenic route, in the hopes that I would get to his work faster.  Didn't work.

And then, by the time I did get to work, my car was beginning to smoke.  Smells like something is overheating.  Loverly. 

I hate Mondays.

Not having access to streaming audio or video at my work totally blows.

That is all.

God, I'm tired.

I've got a good mind to say "piss off" to the whole blogging thing today and just watch movies and drink beer.  Kinda like I did yesterday, only with more beer.  Then again, I've got a cargo ship full of stuff to yap about, so who knows.

The car is acting up again; sounds like the transmission is about to go out.  Again.  I'm not paying another $3K to replace it again, so I'll probably be looking for another ride soon.

And that car problem couldn't have come at a worse time, seeing as my assignment here is set to end by the end of the month.  I've polished up the resume and hit the SEND ALL button, but I hate the downtime.  I read somewhere that having the phone constantly interrupting your train of thought at work lowers your IQ by ten points, which is the equivalent of going to work for a full day after having completely skipped sleep the night before.  That would certainly explain why my head has been hurting as of late.  I think I need to find another type of job, something that doesn't rely on me answering the phone at all.

And there goes the phone again.  Argh.  Another cluster of dead neurons to deal with.

I am, of course, talking about my brain, not the clients'.  That's a whole 'nother can of worms.  Back to work, then.

The computer is back up and running again.  Huzzah!!!

Now I just have to get my hands on my Torchwood vids again.  I think I'll just wait until the DVD set hits.
