Friends

A few months ago, I heard that a friend of mine was going to be shipped off to the great big sandbox of joy called Iraq.  Needless to say, I had heard about it after he was long gone.  So for a moment, I was pretty darn upset with the prospect that someone I knew would be directly affected by this crapstorm in the Middle East. :(  So I sat down while cooped up at work, that lovely pit of chicken hell, and wrote him a few pages to send out to him, only I didn't have a shipping addy yet.  Yeah, so I held onto it for a while and finally got an e-mail addy for him.  I never did get to send it though, he was home the 4th of July due to a paperwork glitch.   So I spotted him at one of my fencing practices I attend, can't fight yet, but I came to see how everyone was doing!  And there he was, in living color, all safe and sound.  I gave him the biggest hug hello I could manage!  So the rest is history for now.  I am really happy about him being home and not there in Iraq getting shot at.  Here's to a long lasting friendship and whatever else that may come along.

Nothing New--- Yay-rah

Yup, nothing new to say really.  The job still sucks!  I'm looking for new work and I'm beginning to believe truly that 10 years of working through school for a BS degree means exactly that, BS!  Oy.  The neighbors have chilled to a dull roar, which is nice.  I don't have to listen to them carrying on through all hours of the day and night.  Job prospects, yeah, back to those.  There are a few in Chicago.  YIPPEE!  I just hope if they do call after the initial few e-mails that they pay decent enough to survive on!  There's also a few south of me, the plus being I have friends that live in that particular area and it's a decent college town too.  Either way, I will be more than happy to shuck off the unpleasant aspect of work comp and the job I have now.  Things would be better if they weren't so bad... My favorite redundancy check phrase there!  Oh well, just an update for those who are out there reading!  Weather sucks too.  Rain-rain-rain!  Yuck!  I want the sunshine!  Mr. Sunshine!  Yes-yes, the sun is good, it makes things grow and I am a happier squirrel for it too. ;)~
