So let me fill you in on my goings-on bince I've been laid off and now don't have the time nor relative priorities (vs. when I was at work) to post here very much...
-Got my 2nd unemployment check today. Nice. Helps with my crack habit.
-Been taking 2 classes & part of a third - all of which I receive no credit for. (English for the wife, Advanced Chemistry for my brother, and helping write a 15 page paper on "Resource Wars" for my brother)
-Watching my son 3 days a week.
-Getting my daughter on the bus & off
-Resumes sent = 2
-Purchased a new PC from Dell Outlet--- If you're on the market, look there first. Amazing deals. I got a souped up scratch & dent for about 25% of normal. The only thing I could find that may be a scratch or dent wiped off with a bit of Goo Gone.
-Transferring everything from the old PC to the new one.
-Misc/General shit around the house (up to and including video game playing)
-Showering & shaving as needed or when the ass smell begins to permeate
And I signed up for 2 online classes this summer (Comparative Religions & Early Western Civilizations). I'm adrift between going back to school to do something I'd actually like to do, or try to look for work until the Mrs. graduates next May and we move to Iowa or Minisoda.
I've been thinking I couldn't work right now if I wanted to. Unless I paid an arm and a leg for daycare over the summer, I'm stuck being Mr. Mom.
After a month wait, I did finally hear back from Catholic Charities about donating some time automating their processes & providing training. But after meeting them I'm not so eager. They gave me a folder of shit I've got to fill out that is worse than what I previously had new-hires fill out. Only instead of taking a piss test, I have to go downtown to get fingerprinted and have an FBI background check done. ----All because of some fucking horny priests.
That's about that.
Oh, and I drink at least a 12 pack of that real sugar Mt Dew & Pepsi a week. Good stuff.
