I had my interview at the temp agency today. I didn’t know how open-and-shut it would be (and by that I mean “walk in, fill out paper work, ‘when can you start?’).
I pretty much rocked the office test though. I got a typing score of 58 words per minute with 1 error with a net [...]
04.23First of the season
This sun burn is killing me. I haven’t gotten burned like this in years. I don’t remember how long it’s supposed to take to heal, but at this rate is seems like I’ll be in pain forever.
Really, I’m just annoyed by what feels like pin pricks on my back. They don’t really “hurt”, but I [...]
04.23Please, Sir
I woke up this morning to the sound of my dad typing. He wakes up at about 4:30 every morning and does his morning-time thing. I’m not sure what all that entails, perhaps exercise and chores around the house, but I know for sure that part of it is typing.
I moved into the living room, [...]
04.22Who needs sleep?
I don’t think I’m supposed to sleep this morning.
Even though it’s Saturday, Mom and Dad are up at 6 am. I know Mom has to get going to class, but Dad’s just up. The cupboards get opened and closed. The windows get opened and the light streams in.
About 6:30 I move into the family room [...]
04.18First week back home
I jogged today for the first time since … probably mid-January. I went a little over 2 miles and I just about threw up. Excercise is bad for you. I’ll probably go again Thursday or Friday.
There’s not much for me to do here in the desert, but there’s not much for me to do anywhere [...]
04.16Fruit that works
It’s nice to be back in a state that has apples that actually look appetizing. Sure, maybe I was just in an odd side of town where every grocery store never seemed to have any good produce, but it sure was nice to look into the refrigerator this afternoon and see an apple (that had [...]
04.12There and back again
So I’m back in California now and it’s about time that I recount the unbelievable adventure of my solo road trip.
I left Jessica’s place around 2:00 and climbed into my van with teary eyes. For the first leg of my journey I kept my mind busy by watching out for the right trailer tire that [...]
04.06Half-way point
For those of you keeping track (anyone??), I’m now in El Paso, getting ready to hop the border into New Mexico. I should (might, hopefully) be in the desert by this evening and I’ll be going to Mo Val … sometime soon after
I’ve got a long blog coming for you. This has been [...]
