Mild Bummers

1) My job as it stands is most definitely NAWT temp-ta-perm. Ah was told candidly today (first day) that to buy out a temp will cost 20% tha offah. Which is ridiculous, especially b/c THIS staffing agency has a reputation fer sucking. If ah was ta be offered a mild 30,000 (its SF folx, 30 grand a year gits you NUTHIN), my staffing jerks would git a whoppin 6,000. Made even more ridiculous by tha fact that all ah did was re=register w. them. What would really piss me off is that if ah didn't git tha job solely based on my relationship w. tha staff-jerks. Altho it would be ironic (Er somethang like that) b/c ahd nevah actually APPLY fer this job. But now ah really really want it.

2) My comp is dedicated ta dying on me. Ahve reinstalled windows 4 times in 3 days on this hard drive. In case yer nawt aware, ah have weird electronic-mojo. Ah fawk up electronics pretty hardcore, pretty fast, even tho ah totally know what ahm daein. This particular comp has lasted about 3 years (almost exactly actually) n ahm nawt surprised its kicked it officially. Tha last 2 times have turned it off at nite, it hasn't started up again. Which meant today was extra expensive (Cuz ah also finally bought shoes - Dr. Scholls brand fer like 60 bux at DSW...nawt too bad).

3) Ah may be movin before ahm ready. My landlady is considerin movin (meanin, sellin tha house). Thars many factors gaein on in that decision, which ah unnerstand. Howevah, until ah git offered full-time werk, ah really can't afford ta move. Ah ken sorta afford more expensive rent, but w.o stable income, shouldn't. And cannot afford moving expenses as it stands. Ahd like ta pay off some of this credit card debt first, but who knows. Ah was told that it was somethang she was considerin, n then last nite saw a bunch of photos taken off tha wall, indicatin that someone just MITE be cleanin up house fer prospective buyers. Tha fact that band practice here is both convenient and awesome adds to my distaste fer a sudden change in living situations.

but really, so long as ah have income, ahm actually pretty fawkin happy. Nawt ownin a car n gaein ta yoga n playin musick gives me a real sense of satisfaction ah nevah had back in NOVA er Bawstan (well, ah did have it AT TIMES in bawstan, but nawt as often as ah was frustrated n miserable).

Nae sign of frank zappa beer tho....

“You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline — it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.”

It looks like Lagunitas, which is the brewery that makes the Frank Zappa beers, is located about 40 miles north of you. If you had a beer-loving friend, you could hitch a ride up to the brewery and buy it there!
