So this guy in Glendale called me to come in for an interview tomorrow. At first, I was excited but then he said it only paid around $12/hr. Now seriously, I get paid more than that at my current miserable job plus I get a car allowance. And I just signed up for my company's 401k plan. Doris is my sole beneficiary. Scary! If I die next month, she ( Read more... )

So the pain got so bad last night that I called one of those operator nurses. After about 30 minutes of holding, I gave her my symptoms and she asked me some questions. "Get your ass to the emergency room," she said ( Read more... )

I know sometimes I can be a hypochondriac but I really feel ill. I woke up this morning around 5am because I had some soreness in my neck. Throughout the day, it's gotten so that I can't swallow without extreme pain. I almost cried on the hour drive home, it hurts so bad. At work, I could feel the pain getting worse and worse. I did lotsa internet ( Read more... )

Pai-Mei is coming tomorrow. He's going to be our new black terrier. Doris named him. We were at Target this morning buying dog food and bowls and a bed and chew toys and anything else we could think of. He's about 8 months old. Not potty-trained. I'm kind of nervous about that. I just steamed our rug last night. People should come over and meet Pai ( Read more... )

Reason #43: I spent $30 to rent a Rug Doctor for my 5'x7' rug.

I think I'm going to spend the night cleaning this apartment. It's been months and months since I polished the floor. I'm in the cleaning mode. Watch out!

So Mark J. and Doris went with me to the Cave last night when the lights went out all over Highland Park. It was around 9:30pm. I told the bartender I'd be back to close my tab tonight. It took 2 and 1/2 hours for the power to come back on so I'm glad we went home instead of waiting. Gawd, 2 and 1/2 hours at the Cave. On a weeknight! Geez ( Read more... )

It's too hot in here. Doris isn't home from work yet ( Read more... )

My interview went really well. They put me in a huge room with a huge table. There were three people and they made me sit across from them so I had to shout my answers. They seemed to like me because I guess I'm just quite likeable. But they seemed to ask the same question over and over again. And I kept giving them the same answers. I felt like ( Read more... )
