Been a Bit
Seriously, been a bit. I've been a touch busy/ too upset to post. I've been laid off, I hate to say it. The job I so loved has ended. My last day was the 13th, Friday the 13th to top it off. So this past week I've been job faireing. I know I'm a faire-goer, but job faireing? Takes it a bit far. Just exaggerating. I'm spamming out my resume everywhere. Spam, spam! Read my resume! Hire me! The previous two weeks I've been going a bit mad trying my hardest to make sure I'd left instructions behind for everyone to be able to survive without me. I'm worried about them, and so worried about myself. At least I have dental coverage until the end of the month.
Yes, Dental Coverage. Of which I was worried, as I had an appointment on Monday. My rear molar on the upper right... or is it left? Well, my right, your left if you're facing me.... My rear upper molar had gone bad, as black as a pirate, despite my efforts. So the dentist, that wonderful skilled dentist, destroyed the rotten parts, and said the heart was still good. I have a filling on to cover the wound until he gets approval for a crown from COBRA. Two of my front teeth had minor damage which may lead to cavities if not mended, so they were fixed up too. And unlike the past dentist I visited, it didn't hurt, and there's no bits of tooth or filling falling into my mouth. Gah. I have another visit next Tuesday, to get the wisdom tooth on the other side of the mouth yanked, and mend a cavity on that side. So I had a lot, at least it was a good stand for four years of no dentist visits!
The Camry needs some serious work. The suspension in the front is beyond dead, it's become a revenant, haunting my car with a nerve wracking rattle. Plus either the temperature gauge is gone, or the temperature sensor. So not cool. Anyway, that, and a few other problems, need to be tended to. I think Saturday we're spending at the junk yard pulling the suspension bits to rebuild a new one around them, then I'm ending up taking the car to a garage that you can rent a stall and a lift at. Oh, it needs a new timing belt too, and it seriously needs a good tune up. The Infiniti is being taken off the road for now, the plates need to be turned in, and then I'll cancel the insurance on it until we can afford to get it fixed so I can get it back on the road. Maybe we'll just drop a whole new motor in the puppy. Even though her suspension is gone as well. *sigh* Plus my brother is down to his Jeep, after his car was totalled out right in front of our house as he pulled off the side road. The one late last year. Still, this road is a death trap, I swear. Well, not a death trap for people, but cars... yeah, cars it's a death trap for.
Other than that, life's been good. I've already got some companies who're actually giving my resume a good solid look, and a few have mentioned possible positions. Plus I've applied for positions at some others. So it's all good. I think. I hope everyone's okay back at work. Seriously. Aside from the journeling bit, I've been going to the gym two to three times a week, so I'm covered on that end. And truthfully, I did post last week... I just made it private to my eyes only, and then deleted it a little later. It was an angry little angst fest about the PTB in my old company laying me off. Enough said.
