I begin the new job tomorrow. Wish me luck. Can you see the enthusiasm in my typing? I thought so. It will be an easy job but a boring one. I miss my old job. I miss being important in what I did. I had an important job. Without me correspondence testing and production would slip. I took something that had been ignored for years and with the help of Kim and a few others, turned it around. Now it’s all gone. The importance, the pride in what I did… I’m back to being a nobody at a job in which the pay sucks and the job itself sucks even more.
The Bookmobile.
I’ve decided I want to drive the Bookmobile for a living. While out getting boxes today I saw one. I can remember getting so excited in grade school over this massive bus of books. I’m not sure if it was the idea of getting books or the idea of spending money, but, I do have a few of the books I bought from the Bookmobile. Would this not be the coolest job or what? I mean the thing is air conditioned. You drive around, wait for people to buy some books then drive on to the next destination. Sure, I would have to put up with some kids who are unruly, but I could handle it. Yes, folks, I have found my calling in life. The Bookmobile driver.
Friends.
If someone calls you his or her friend then hides things from you, this person isn’t a true friend. Apparently I have no true friends. Real life, or, online. This is my problem. I try to be the best friend I can possibly be. Yes, I make mistakes. No one is perfect. But don’t ignore me. Tell me the truth and you’ll be much better off. If you claim you’re “not like the others”, then don’t be like the others. If it’s ok to be in my life but it isn’t ok for me to be in yours, then don’t bother me. I have no use for people like that.
Idiots on the Highways.
Yes, I was returning home from my mother’s boyfriend’s house, and I met a car head-on-it was getting onto the Interstate 64 on-ramp bridge that is beside my apartment building, going the wrong way. If I had been a few seconds ahead I would have hit the drunk assed idiot. I did call 911, and of course they act as if you’re lying about what you have just witnessed. He kept saying “so the car was going the wrong way up the 35 Street Bridge?” I wanted to say no you dumbass I thought I’d call because I knew you were sitting there with nothing better to do. Then he asks “what kind of car was it?” I said, and I really did say this: “Gee, I don’t know since I was trying to dodge a head-on collision I didn’t have time to get the make and model, all I know is it was black.” Nothing like competent people working Metro 911. I did turn around and go back to see if I saw anyone pulled over-saw nothing so they must have figured out they were heading in the wrong direction. It’s almost impossible to go up this bridge since signs are EVERYWHERE saying wrong way. That was my stupid person sighting for the night. Possibly the year.
I finished installing Fedora on the laptop, I haven’t had time to play around with it yet but it seems to run smooth. Easy installation too. I like the fact that Linux will let you know the laptop battery is low. I have a feeling I will end up having to buy a new battery, because I had let this one charge for quite some time. Now I need to find a program that will let me view movies since I have a DVD drive and not a CDROM. Any suggestions are welcome. Now, I must continue with my geekiness. Oh, one other thing. My cousin, and I can’t mention her name yet, is pregnant, at least according to the pregnancy test and the fact she’s had morning sickness at night. Say a few prayers for her because she has a difficult time with pregnancies and I want everything to be ok with her and the little one. There’s also a good possibility if all is well the bundle of joy will be born on or around my birthday, not to mention I get to be in the delivery room with her! I’m so excited I can hardly contain myself. Anyway faithful, loyal, readers, night.
