Since my leaving of the Consumers contract and changing to working on the AEP one (working near South Bend now), I have been driving an hour twenty one way to work since September. Needless to say I'd not be doing it if they did not provide me with a vehicle and a gas card.
However, even with that being the case, I still have been struggling with it a bit...I am losing 15 hours a week of my life on monotonous driving. Therefore I am going to be moving to South Bend, at least until I find a better job.
I'd not be so...saddened?...by this were it not for the fact that due to circumstances outside of my control I must move to South Bend to a higher cost apartment for a job that pays less. Furthermore, South Bend is actually quite a depressing city. It would make people from Detroit say "At least we're not that bad..." and the insane Notre Dame mania irritates me. You would think the entire area would cease to exist if Notre Dame did.
I also just realized yesterday that I would no longer be a resident of Michigan but rather of Indiana. For whatever reason, I have had an illogical distate of being associated with Indiana. Your guess is as good as mine. I certainly will not claim the state as my own.
But anyway, in happier news, the 28th is six months for Holly and I :) |

For the span of a week, people think I am a crazy Washington driver...Washingtonian? Anyway, here in the state home to Oregonians, feeling kinda tipsy on a dock again soon, ready to run up and down the beach hitting crabs on the head.
I'm glad that made no sense :)
Tim out. |

| Ah, the lovely weather |

Yes, today pretty much sucked. I did not plan at all for it being as hot as it was, and it showed. I brought only about a quarter of water, which lasted til about noon. I was supposed to work til five. Needless to say, I came up a bit short. There's something about being dehydrated (well, beyond my normal state of dehydration) that really takes the ability to work down. I worked to the point where I knew it would be rather extensive recovery time and then quit.
Sigh, I had wanted to work more than ten today, but instead only got in eight. I'm going to have to work on friday after all, sadly.
On the cat front, Athena, while no longer looking kitten-ish still has all the endearing (and not so endearing) characteristics. Since she stays up as long as I stay up and the other night I was up late talking to Holly, she harassed Tiger well into two o'clock that morning. I ended up having to separate them, Athena was that bad.
Otherwise, nothing's happened, such is the excitement in my life. Perhaps it's for the best :)
Is it sad that all I have to talk about that isn't ranting is Holly and Athena? Perhaps. I am becoming domesticated. Hehe.
There is the guy running ads on TV as a Republican, but his entire discussion is of core Democrat ideals. Gah! One minute, gotta go |

At least I'm not last, hehe. I blame my amazing connection and reluctance to do these sorts of things. It's not that I don't like to, but that I am horrible at maintaining them and feel vaguely guiltly when I don't. But hey, why not?
I have the storm that hit the state last night to thank for this rather nice day off. They didn't want me blundering around lines with crews running madly trying to get a quarter million people power again. Since I'd rather not walk into fourteen thousand volts of electricity, I approve :)
Life overall has been decidedly uneventful. The parents want me to permanently borrow some wild blueberries up in Breedsville (Sadly all too aptly named. Imagine what you think a rural Michigan town of that name would be like. Yeah, that bad, if not worse. Grand Junction, on the other hand, is what would be best defined as a gross exageration).
Alas, my hour is almost up. Who knows how often I will be able to do this. Forty bucks a month minimum is just a bit more than I would ever care to pay right now. |
