This'll be a short one, I think. I just wanted to write something to assuage my guilt over not writing anything for the last couple of days. Mainly I've been staying up later than usual bullshitting with the roommate but I'm also somewhat bummed about losing a good part of my New York story but when I look over it I almost don't mind rewriting it, as I'm pretty certain that I could do a much better job if I just put some time into it. I'll give Blogger a couple more days to see if they respond to my service request and if I don't get anything, I'll just delete the damned thing and start over.
I've had a rough week at work and am very glad it's just about over, if you couldn't tell from my previous post. Things have been busy as hell the entire week and I'd have to say that I'm no longer pissed at RJ - my ire is now directed at my supervisor Betty for assigning him to go work on a stupid camera demonstration system in the conference room for the past couple of days, leaving us shorthanded while she gallivants around the office chastising people for even the slightest bit of slack. Between her, the horribly shitty phone system and every other ridiculous thing that happens in the office (and would take several days to write about), I'm starting to think I'm just about done there. My roommate Michelle seems to feel the same way - she suggested I look into applying as a dispatcher for the local police department. It's an idea I've thought about several times but now that I'm in a shitty job the idea attracts me. Not only would I get better pay, better benefits and an actual retirement package but something tells me I'd get plenty of material to write about without ever getting off my fat ass. How can you beat that? I think I'll have to pick up an application and see what happens. If I leave this job, I'd love to get contact information from a couple of people there; without overinflating my self-importance, I'd be interested as hell to see how things go without me to take so many damned calls.
One last thing: I just saw that we have our first tropical storm of the season - "Arlene". Looks like it's heading directly north from the Cuba region, probably heading for the Alabama/Mississippi region if it makes it up this far. And shit, I just realized that Michelle will be heading for Biloxi on another of her gambling junkets this coming week. Hope everything either clears out or goes away by then...unless it brings her luck. Then again, everything seems to bring her luck when it comes to gambling. My roommate, the luckiest person I've ever met and yet I can't seem to get her to win me the lottery. Dammit.
