CH-CH-CHANGES...

Many years have passed.  Many life events have occurred.  Life is Change.  Without Change, there is no Life.  I've just not had much to say that was worth saying at the time.  I'm not sure that anything I have to say is actually worth saying as most people are wrapped up in their own little cocoon, blinded and deafened to the words of others.  Speaking louder only seems to make ears metaphorically squeeze shut even tighter.  
Meh.
But, just for fun, go to http://braesmont.org, http://trucaresolutions.com, or http://dev.h-source.net.  I've had a hand in the creation of all of these sites to a lesser or greater degree.  I've also regained my license to perform radiologic examinations.  (It was harder than you'd think.)
On a more personal note, I have been subjected to a cascade failure of physiologic systems.  Currently, I am taking antibiotics for an osteomyelitic infection of my left mandible and have a minor tear in my right rotator cuff.  I guess if you aren't having pain at my age, you're dead.  So, to quote Martha Stewart, "It's a GOOD thing."

Daylight Savings Time

It's a wonderful thing, DST.  First proposed by B. Franklin way back when.  And it is gone for another year. Anything that messes with our perception of time is a good thing.
I wonder why my garage door misbehaves when the temperature drops below 70.  I may hit the wheels with some carb cleaner and regrease them to see if'n that heps any.  Maybe WD40 would help.  Hmmm.  Guess it will take some experimenting.  At least I have time to do it.  This being unemployed stuff is taking its toll.  Mostly boring with stretches of tedium.  I keep applying for jobs but nothing appears to be happening.  I'm lookin' for a job, here and there, searchin' everywhere, looking for a job I can call my own...

Where the hell have I been?

Lots has happened in the ensuing weeks which shall be referred to as "the Lost Weeks". We had 10/10/10, I attended e-Slate training yet again, and washed the doggies.  I also filled out a plethora of job applications.  As I sit here, none of that work has borne fruit.  Not so much as an interview.  I finally got my first disbursement of unemployment money.  Not much there.  I'd rather have a job.  I'm getting too good at knowing when game shows are on GSN.  Tonight is the big Election Law class.  I hope we are allowed to "fast track" it.  Otherwise it will be a looooong 3 hours.  The pay is the same.

Fall and Job Interviews

"Meh!"  This sound means "I really don't care." or "It doesn't affect my life."  Today was a day for Meh.  Got another AGP card from Greg.  Didn't work.  Still no video signal from my big PC.  This probably means I got a bad motherboard.  SUCK!!  On the "not-Suck" side, I had a job interview.  Good practice.  Did not get the job, but how weird would that have been.  I am not a SQL DBA and that is what they wanted.  Meh.  It is such a nice day.  I got some more grout de-groutificated from Lane's tub.  That much closer to re-grouting day.  Huzzah!

Summer goes away...

Since its raining because of Hurricane Karl(?), it seems suitable to say, "Goodbye" to Summer and "Hello" to Autumn.  (An interesting word as it ends with mn.  Kind of like damn.)  By the time the rain stops, it will officially be Fall and another year will be on it's downward death spiral. There is an election Tuesday in November and the crazies are coming out of the woodwork.  I find that amusing and entertaining.  Bread and Circuses!  What more could one ask?  Halloween will be kind of a drag this year with the little one all growed up and living at A&M.  I will probably drag some of the decorations down and put them up but it hardly seems worth the effort.  Job hunt now in full gear.  And that is all I will say about that.  Need to locate an AGP graphics card to see if the one I have is toast or if my mobo has gone poof.  HDD is good and bootable.  Monitors are both good.  Just got me a bad video card???????  Found one at Microcenter for a penny but it was a ghost.  Shame on Microcenter for not updating their database and getting my hopes up. 
More dust bunnies later.

Dust, it's everywhere.

Where were you on September 10, 2001? 

I'm Back!!!

Been getting an Error 503 message for the last few days.  Lots of things going on.  Went to the Blood Center and donated a pint and 250 gms of platelets.  Got my humors balanced good!! 
Did a bunch of laundry today and I feel like I got something accomplished.  I've been anticipating no longer being "disabled" and have been looking for jobs.  I bet I'm too old to hire.  
Got the spa all ready for the wif. 95 degrees and all balanced.  There are enormous black beetles flying all about the back yard.  I wonder what they are, other than black beetles?

Got to grill some brats, so it's time to go...
