Why haven't I written a blog is such a long time? Because, to be honest, I haven't felt like it. Even though a lot of things have happened to me, I just haven't felt like it. But I find myself with some extra time this morning. So, here's what's up.
Starting with work...I'm becoming more frustrated by the day. I find myself looking for reasons to not be there. Take tonight, for instance. I took a spur of the moment vacation day. No reason. I was talking to another officer last night, and he was thinking about taking tonight off as well. He talked me into it. So I spent the night doing the weekly chores that I set for myself. And this will leave me with a night (Thursday) with nothing to do. I think I might sleep in.
I've also got a couple more vacation days coming up, the 10th and 11th or March, if anyone wants to hang out. I know I'm a lame-ass, but I've got a nice house to hang out in. So come use it. I'll even cook you dinner.
I haven't heard anything from the Belmont teaching interview, despite the fact that I should have heard something, one way or the other, a few weeks ago. I've decided that I didn't get the job. There was, however, an opening for a teacher at Noble, where I already work. A lady who works in Personnel tipped me off to it, and I applied. I haven't heard anything from that either. And like the Belmont job, I don't expect to get it. But there's nothing wrong with trying.
The first bit of work on the house started last week. The termite inspector found damage in the floor joists in the basement, so my step-dad and a friend of his are helping me to replace / repair them. There aren't any live termites, or eggs, just damage. It's turning out to be a much bigger job than they expected, and will probably take a month at least to complete. Once that's done, we're going to get to work on the outside drain in back of the house. I get water in the basement bathroom, where I shower, when it rains hard, and I'd rather not. So we've got to fix that too. After those two things are done, all repair work should be done, and everything that's left that I want to do will be cosmetic. I'm looking forward to all of that. The actual working...not so much.
I met a girl. A woman, actually. And she isn't a friend of someone else that I know. I met her all on my own. We've been seeing each other for about a month. She's a super-secret spy, and her family owns something. I don't want to go into too many details, so feel free to ask me anything you want to know. But I will say the following:
- She is older than me.
- She is hot.
We have a good time together, and she's a pleasure to be around. I'm looking forward to all of my friends meeting her (meaning, I want to show her off). Besides myself and a select few, she's probably one of the most intelligent people in this town. And that's a plus as well.
I went to the dentist last week, after a six-year separation. And the told me that, despite having not been to a professional cleaning in more than half a decade, they rarely see teeth as good as mine. So you should be jealous. Jealous of my m@d 7337H 5k!11z (mad teeth skills). My next stop will be to an honest-to-god doctor for a serious working over. I don't think I've ever been to a doctor for anything more than a physical to get a job, so I'm interested in seeing exactly what happens in a doctor's office. Topics to cover with the doc: the ingrown toenail on the big toe of my right foot, and the rapid reduction of hair on the top of my head. Also, whether the pills I'm taking really do anything, and if they're healthy. I expect he'll tell me to quit smoking and drinking so much, but...you know. Whatever.
What else...
I'm getting a healthy refund from the government on my taxes, and I'm going to use it to buy Rock Band, and maybe a Blu-Ray player (since the format war is over). The rest of it will maybe buy paint, or book cases, or cocaine. I haven't decided yet.
I haven't seen any movies lately. Cloverfield and Juno are the most recent, and that was a few weeks ago. I enjoyed them both, by the way.
Um...I made Chinese for dinner tonight. It was pretty good. And LOST is back on, and has been pretty good. The rest of TV will be starting back up soon, as well.
I guess that's it. I ran out of steam pretty quickly. But you get the idea.
