Logistics training
You'll have to forgive me. I usually take time to sort new developments in my life out and portray them in this blog in a neat and polished way. That's when things start to happen bang-bang kind of fast.
I was still hacking and coughing yesterday morning. With great reluctance I was going to allow myself another day of flu medicine and bed rest.

The latest on me
First, let me give you the good news (lest some accuse me of being incapable of it). I have been approved for an additional tier of unemployment benefits. They pay stub for tomorrow, which arrived in the mail today, looks very good. Paying the August rent looks very doable.

The hardest decisions

Winged taxi driver
My last paycheck was good enough to pay the July rent by its lonesome, without the money I had saved from the previous one. And I could afford $20 in gasoline today. Praise be to God.
I got a good 7½ to 8 hours in at inventorying a Kmart Supercenter in Chillicothe yesterday. Praise be to God.
And as I expected, the Census Bureau has invited me to ( Read more... ) -
Nasty tendencies
I'm starting to notice this as I move about in Second Life and in recent years in real life.
It seems that I have to be convinced that it is in my best interest to learn something before I take the time and effort to learn it. There are advanced building techniques and LSL scripting available to be learned in SL, and you will be among the more ( Read more... )
