ok, so maybe I should update a bit
It has been more than a fortnight since I've updated this journal and many things of note have happened.
I am sick, so sick
Coughing up phlegm balls so green
My lungs bleed regret
This haiku accurately expresses my physical state. It is a terrible thing to be as sick as me and to have the kind of job where you dress up in a bear suit when the weather goes into the high 70s. I'm mighty happy that I don't live up north this time of year. But the fact remains that I don't really dig on wrapping myself in layers and layers of material that doesn't breath 6 times in a day.
In other news, I tried to join my company credit union, but they won't allow me to open my account without my actual social security card. I don't have that! I think it is in my parents house in Jersey, but I haven't needed it in years because I have a valid passport. A passport always supercedes a SSN card as identification, but they wouldn't accept it. So now I have to apply for a replacement. Luckily, the SSA office isn't too far away from where I live and work. I also already have the application printed out from the website, so all I have to do is go there to submit it and I should be gold.
I might be able to get a promotion to a singing gig, so I am excited at that prospect. Obviously, I'm still looking at other options for a more profitable employment. Tonight I submitted an electronic resume on the government jobs website. There aren't many government gigs that fit my skill set, but you never know what might happen. It is depressing to think I might end up a gov't stiff, but it would be steady work.
I am also trying to get involved with community theatre down here. I missed an important audition, but i'm still hoping I get an ensemble or vocal chorus gig in a production of Aida. A friend of mine has a hook-up and I'm still waiting to hear back.
Wish me luck on everything.
