THere's a part of the river in all of us
But for me, there was literally a chunk of rock stuck in my knee and that explains why my 3rd kneecap kept flaring up and getting pussy. Maybe that should be "pus-y" but I don't know. I love to spell, but that doesn't mean I'm very good at it. So, 10 days later, a tiny rock that had lodged itself into my flesh was extracted and now sits on a paper-towel next to the television. I should probably clean that up before Dave gets home. Maybe that rock was with me long enough to sap up some of my spirit, and throwing it away would be like burying a friend. Yep, burying a tiny, worthless, horrible friend who burrowed into your knee and made you limp around with a big bulbous pus-filled tumor on your leg. Goodbye my friend. Goodbye.
What's up with the J-O-B?
I've been getting calls about jobs (3 yesterday) but nothing solid yet. One wanted me to move to North carolina, so that was out. One wanted me to Drive to Vienna, VA each day (Over an Hour each way) to do Admin type work for Big Blue (IBM), but i'm through with the long drives if I can help it. I don't have a lot of freedom, but I still have some. There's the neverending Nextel possibility where I'd drive a company car around to cell-towers making sure everything was peachy for the drug-dealers and annoying dudes who talk too loud everywhere they go. The problem with that one is they always push it back and push it back so I'm not sure if there's really a job there or if it's just a horrible, boring, candid-camera style trick to keep me unemployed until I die.
Hero on the Halfshell
THen there's the one I got an email about today. The email came from "Micahel Angelo Jr." and said simply "Cowabunga, dudes!". Actually, it didn't. sorry. It did talk about a high-paying job travelling across the country installing some system in Post Offices so that the employees can use AOL Instant Messager. Actually I have no idea what I would be doing, but I'd be travelling 90% of the time, which brings so many up so many issues. Obviously, I'd really like to get paid to go around and see new places and there's no time like the present for something like that. The drawback is that I am really happy where I am right now. I live with Erica, whom I would miss terribly while I was away. Also, I've had an extremely fun summer hanging out with friends and having a good time playing D+D every week, playing Magic Every week, and just hanging out having cookouts and playing croquet. I guess if I was travelling I could still do that sortof stuff on the weekends, but every Sunday there'd be a looming black monday where I'd have to sayd goodbye to everyone and go back into isolation. I really do like getting time to myself when I can, but I don't know if this is how I'd want to do it. I'll let you know here, unless I give up like some sort of sucka.
PS. I'm not a sucka.
