At least I’m getting it to validate. At least, it did the last time I checked. I most likely screwed something up and will have to begin all over again.
The so called job I thought I was interviewing for and testing for was already taken. I found out because I had to call to get directions to the temp agency-asked a few questions and discovered they only wanted me to come in to see what I could do. Plus, the job didn’t pay what I had originally thought. The pay per hour was two dollars less, which, I couldn’t live on. I did receive an email today from another place I applied to, she asked me a few questions and wanted my resume-so keep your fingers crossed. The stress is getting to me, along with a few other issues I don’t care to discuss at this time. Maybe I’ll go watch the end of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Very nice template to work with- I’m having a few issues with the validation and frankly, my brain is fried so I will work on it later. Today was a semi-busy day. Although I did sleep until 11 I managed to get quite a bit accomplished. Kitchen cleaned-mopped, all I have left is to clean the dreaded fridge-pray for me when I begin this task. Decided to clean the filter on my vaccum… no wonder it wasn’t picking anything up! Of course since I live in an apartment the carpet isn’t of the best quality-so I had to pick pieces of fuzz, hair, you name it out of the hose. I think tomorrow I’ll detach the hose and spray down in it and let it dry out. No wonder my allergies have killed me lately. I’ve swept but hell apparently I’ve only been blowing the dust and dirt back into the air. I would LOVE LOVE to have a good air purifier-maybe when I win the lottery that I never play. I have a typing test/interview tomorrow with a temp agency-it’s better than nothing at this point-and hopefully, since I sent my resume to AEP (American Electric Power) I’ll get a call back. I wouldn’t mind working midnights, which I’m guessing would be the shift I ended up with being the newbie-I could get off work, go to two classes and come home. I would need to move, however. Only about 10 miles away, but it would be between work and school and would be less hectic than driving an extra 10 miles home. I’m really looking forward to classes again. I have such a geekiness within me I crave homework. Or, I crave the notion of homework. Hell I crave the brand new notebooks and pens I’ll buy. Pathetic isn’t it?
I’m in the process of updating the template-so if you receive errors this is why. The page does not validate as of yet. Hopefully by the end of the week I will have all of the bugs worked out.
April 24, 2005. Snow showers currently in Charleston, West Virginia. Two days ago it was 85. What the hell? I was glad for the rain because it washed away a lot of the tree and grass pollen, but snow? The last time I remember any snow this late in April we ended up with 2 ft-however most was melted away the next day. Ick. I was getting used to wearing sandals again. Hell I might wear them today just for kicks. The rebel that I am.
My mom’s birthday was yesterday. The big 6 0. She does NOT look 60 at all. Barely any gray hair. Beautiful skin. Yeah she has some wrinkles but I’ve seen 40 year olds with more. We had a cookout for her by the lake-chilly and rainy but fun. Her boyfriend bought a cast-iron stove and we all stood/sat in the shelter at the picinic tables. It was fun actually. Had it not been raining I would have fished, but I didn’t feel like getting the sniffles because I was out fishing with a Tazmanian Devil kid’s fishing pole in the rain. Yes, that is my fishing pole. I need to go back to my old house and get my dad’s poles. Have someone oil them up and put the line in. Out of any country bumpkin’ kind of sports-fishing is the one I enjoy. I suppose because my dad taught me early. I was about 3-was attempting to cast and just threw the entire rod into the lake. He had to wade in after it. Now that’s a good dad. I miss him. Sometimes I lay in bed at night and wonder how things would have turned out had that fateful night, October 12, 1988 had never happened. Definitely different, but would I have gone through the same struggles and trials I have since? Those events were all part of God’s plan. This is one reason why I read the book “The Five People You Meet in Heaven”-although fiction, the premise of the book gives you a sense of peace, perhaps possibly I will learn one day why things have happened in my life. I know I am a stronger person-I learned responsibility at a very young age-yes, sometimes I fade a little on being a responsible adult, but I believe most of us do throughout our years. I know when to have fun and not take things so seriously-yet I also know when to do my work as an adult and take action. No, it isn’t easy. Sometimes I wish I was still that kid who loved to play with her dolls and Barbies, the girly girl tomboy. I could go from playing house to playing with matchbox cars in the mud in a matter of minutes. It’s silly, but since I live in the “city” now, one night late I drove out to my old house just so I could hear the frogs and the crickets and smell the clean air. That is home. You may be a thousand miles away from where you grew up, but one smell, one sound, can bring you back. Home is always in your mind, in your heart, no matter where you are in the world.
Ok, enough rambling.
