:D
It's Hump Day, both popularly and for me, metaphorically. I have a job that should be starting---well, any moment now, really. Somewhen in the first two weeks of July, I was told. I'm still a bit iffy on it just because I haven't heard anything from them that's more specific, but I have manager numbers and an HR number and they're asking about ( Read more... ) -
Happy Post-Father's Day
I talked with my father yesterday. We rarely actually talk. Usually he talks and I listen, or defend, or rant. It was like that for years and years, until my mom moved out, taking us kids with her, and we didn't see him so much anymore. But in the intervening years he's gotten older, mellower and, yes, wiser. We talked. It was all good, but the ( Read more... ) -
Pale grey dog
I think maybe I'm finally burning out. It's not despair I feel most of the time, it's kind of blank I realise I'm doing things because someone asked me to, or because I'm expected to, not because I want to. There's no food in the house, and I don't really care. I still haven't found a job, and I don't really care. I may have found one, and I don't ( Read more... ) -

The Girl in the Corner: A Jailhouse Journal Pt 4
04 SaturdayOMFG. Reveille for B Block was at 4.30 thanks to the Irascible Old Dude, whose name is Reggie. If a sound can be made, he made it. Yelling, singing, banging on the door, whatever, as loud as he could. We all wanted to cuddle him like a baby seal. But we finally got an explanation: he's not all there. One of the cool guys let us know that ( Read more... ) -
Oy, vey
And the goodness just keeps on giving! Today I got a bill from the Washtenaw County Sherrif's Department for $400.00. Seems they bill you $10.00 for every day you're in jail. So on top of their "admin fees" taking about $50 the day I got out, now there's this. I was jailed for not having enough money to pay, and now they're billing me for that! ( Read more... ) -
The Girl in the Corner: A Jailhouse Journal Pt 3
26 SundayIt was after 1 when I went to sleep last night. That was after going to bed a little after 11. And today, we've all been on lockdown. No one has left their cells, and they haven't had the tv in the common room on. I just thought that was how they did Sundays around here. But one of the other inmates asked the guard what was up, and he said ( Read more... ) -
The Girl in the Corner: A Jailhouse Journal Pt 2
25 Saturday
Last night was pretty funny. About 8p they brought in three guys high on something---no idea what, but one guy, when he asked if I was on PC, joked that he was on PCP...maybe, who knows! Later he said both acid and mescaline. But they were wired until about 2 in the morning, hooting and hollering and seeing faces in the concrete ( Read more... ) -
The Girl in the Corner: A Jailhouse Journal
Well, I guess I'll put this in after all. There will be entries later on called Dream Theatre; if any of you know how to interpret dreams, or know anyone who does, please let me know what you or they get out of these. I'm sure the relevance has passed, but still, I'd like to know. :) The tags for these will be GITC and DreamTheatre. Some of the ( Read more... ) -
This is what it be like
Whee! I have a car now! It's a maroon '91 4-door Mercury Tracer, with a sparkly rose sticker on the back window. :D Parked in front of my house it looks exactly like this!
