I lost my job 11/13/09 (Friday the 13th!) for reasons unknown to me.  Since then, I've been pretty miserable.  My bills are out of control and I no longer have the use of a credit card.  I did, however, claim one small victory in the form of unemployment.  My earnings are meager, but it IS income, and hopefully an inconvenience to my former place ( Read more... )

Still working like a maniac.  Nothing new.  I need change.

And needless to say, life is pretty dull.  I can't go out to the bars, I can't really drink (which is more or less fine... I haven't been drinking all that much even before I switched to third shift), and every time I've ever worked midnights, I manage to sleep more than normal, just to assure myself that I can make it through the night.  But I'm ( Read more... )

The 3rd shift quality control position is officially mine.  I may start as soon as next Monday.  Hello, raise!

I've applied for countless jobs at this point, and nothing.  Today, upon sifting through Myspace bulletins, I found a tattoo shop looking for a piercer, called the number, and set up an interview for Wednesday.  Wouldn't that be ironic if I landed a job in the same field through the very avenue that I got fired?  My getting fired via Myspace was a ( Read more... )

Still no job, but the problem has allotted more time for the band. Consequently (well... a good consequence) we got some major work done and have been enjoying club play. If any of my readers has a Myspace, you can hear what we've been doing at www.myspace.com/makeshiftdetroit

Well, I *kind of* have a job.  I worked 9 hours yesterday and 9 more today; and it's hard, shitty work.  It's for a small but growing company that refurbishes bus plugs and ducts, tap boxes, transformers, panel switches, and circuit breakers.  The company started up last year, and my friend Jon has been there nearly since inception.  On Friday they ( Read more... )

Fuck you.  My car is nice and I would like to keep it that way, thank you.  Seriously, people need to have more respect for the property of others.  Especially if somebody's doing you a favor (like giving you a ride somewhere when gas prices are $4+ a gallon).  I'm constantly carting my friends around because they don't have cars, they have broken ( Read more... )

Well, I've been trying to upload pictures of my kitty onto my Photobucket account, but every time I've tried, something errored and the transfers never went through.  I'm starting to think that the problem is on my end.  Photobucket has allowed me to upload many pictures in the past, and always without incident, so I don't know why I can't add two ( Read more... )
