Well…it was a busy day yesterday and I am looking forward to a little less today….I’m feeling a little uneasy about things lately and I’m not sure why…well…I kind of know why but I won’t share that right now….there were some dreams last night that included a boat that I used to own along with lots of people that I didn’t know…not nearly as weird as I like….not much else to say right now but I do have some things to do today…might have lunch with T…nope…that’s about it….more later…

I think the uneasiness is caused by the reality that this job is not going to pan out and I’ll be back to the daily grind of sending resumes and hoping something will happen….a disheartening state of life that wears on you after a while when you know that the chances of ever working again grow slimmer with each passing day…and this calls into question all of the tenets you’ve lived your life by…that hard work and education will be enough to ensure your success..but that is just not true anymore and I don’t know what replaces that yet…what are the new rules?

Well…another night and I had a little fun out with K for a couple but then back here for another night of boredom….but that was okay really….and I was somewhat good so I feel okay this morning….but up at 4:44 and I’m not sure why….so, there will be a nap in order for later this aft…although, I do have to go over to C’s rental and fix the toilet so he doesn’t have to come all the way back form Mt. P….other than that, not much to do to today…I do have another phone interview this morning but I don’t think that will take too long and then it’s the grocery run…not much more to say right now so I’m going to go watch a little “Burn Notice” and take it easy…more later…

Okay..I’m back and the morning has been a busy one…I did have the second phone interview and it went well…all they wanted to talk about was my personality and attitude and not my resume…most of the talk was how I would fit into the team there…feel okay about this one…maybe something will break my way….that would be cool….not sure if I have the lyric yet..so I’ll wait a while on that one…

Well…up early again and it is becoming a habit…and that is okay…and okay day yesterday but no dreams to report again…I did get over 2400 miles on the bike so every day from now adds to the record for the year…won’t make 3000 like I had hoped but 25 or 26 hundred is possible….not feeling it again today so I’m going to go back and watch the rest of a movie that I started…

Okay, have been out to read the papers and have coffee but I still don’t have a lot to say…I did do three yesterday so maybe I can take today as a mental health day….I am waiting for them to come and do the yearly maint on my furnace and I may have to go over to C’s house to to take care of a water leak since the guys that are renting it have no skills….but that looks like it for the day other than the process of sending out resumes again…didn’t get to the lyric yesterday for some reason but I will get to it later after I get the workout and bike ride in….it’s already over 50 so the ride should be pleasant for the first week of November…

Here’s the lyric: ‘When the dawn patrol’s got to tell you twice…they’re going to do it with a shotgun..I’m cashing in this ten-cent life for another one…”

Well…had an okay day yesterday but it was a normal Monday and that meant going out with G for a couple and that was fun….I did talk to my daughter for a while and got a few things straightened out and it was good to talk to her. Up way too early today but maybe it’s a good thing to get ready to do that if I get the job…have a few things to do today but nothing really pressing so it will be a lazy one….going to take it easy for the rest of the week since it could be my last one as a free man….I will come back later for another one since the clock resets today and I have to stay on pace…more later…

Okay…was just writing the rent check and noticed that it is 11-1-11…kind of weird…maybe I should buy a lottery ticket for today….if I believed in that kind of stuff…

Well…got a nice little surprise this morning when I got a call from the guy I did a phone interview with Friday saying that he is going to set up an in person one for this week…and that set a bunch of stuff into motion…had to go and get my suit pants fitted and altered…they will be done tomorrow so I’ll be ready to “suit up” for the interview since my sport coat and other dress clothes don’t fit anymore. If things pan out, it will be nice to have money coming in for a change and to be able to get back into a normal routine…don’t know how that will impact these yet…I might just have to get up earlier so I can get one out before I go to work…that even sounds strange…go to work…so, I’ll keep you up to speed on the developments…..and I’ll be back later for a political one and the lyric…

Well…it was a long day yesterday with pool in the aft then meeting up with J for one than back here for a couple more….and I did win at pool again so that was okay…but I do feel kind of crappy today and part of it is that I didn’t ride the bike or eat enough…so, I am going to go back to the couch and have some ice water…back later for more of this once I feel better and start having some thoughts…

Okay, the thoughts have started again…kind of…so I thought I’d come back for a few minutes while I wait for the temp to come up enough to go out on the bike…it was another long weekend with no one in town to hang out with…well..shouldn’t say that…pool with Tom was fun and I made some shots that I never make which was a nice surprise…but we are coming up on another month and that always depresses me when I have to pay the rent…nope..this still isn’t working so I’m going to go eat something and read the papers for some political stuff to write about…more later…

Well…it is a bad day when you have to warm the car up before you can go out and get the paper…there is so much ice on it this morning that there is no other way…so, that’s why I’m early today…waiting for the coffee to brew so I thought I’d do this now….it was another bad night for the Wings last night and I think I’ll stop watching them for a while…I do feel pretty crappy this morning but I knew that would happen with the night last night….but, I’ll live through it…maybe….and I may even come back for another one today…not completely sure but maybe…more later…

Okay…there are a couple more things that I wanted to mention today…turned the car over to 290 thousand miles this week..yep, that’s right…290 thousand….that’s about 120 thousand more than I’ve had on any car that I’ve owned…but the old Mazda is looking it with the foam and duct tape that is holding it together…so I do hope I find a job soon so I can retire it…and get the Miata that I’ve been wanting for quite a while now….it’s 8:45 and I’m already bored…at least there is pool with Tom later today that I’m looking forward to and the pool is free so that will save us 10 bucks or so…going back to the couch for a while…and I am over the 62 I needed for the month so maybe I’ll take it easy for the next couple of days…who knows?

Well…as always, running late this morning for no reason other than I had to get the ribs in the oven so they can slow cook for almost 5 hours….I was hoping they would be done for the start of the Michigan game but that won’t be the case..oh, well…it was just another disappointing night last night…the Wings looked like crap again and I don’t know what is going on with that…there is another game tonight so maybe they can get back on track…I’m just sitting here now waiting for the temp to come up a little so I can get the bike ride in before the Michigan game starts…I wish they would have scheduled the State game for later in the day but it looks like I’ll have to wear out the remote flicking today…other than the games, not much to do today…I do need to continue cleaning since I have been making good progress here lately and I like having a clean place again…but that is about it…I will come back for another one later once the coffee and bike ride clear my head a little….

Here’s the lyric: “…on the counter, by your keys….is a book of numbers and your remedies….one of these, surely will screen out the sorrow…but where are you tomorrow?…”

Well…I am running late today for a good reason…had a phone interview for a job that went almost an hour and had a good laugh doing it….it was nice to get an interviewer who was older than I am and have the instant chemistry that comes from it…I think it went well but I thought that last time…at least this time I won’t run out and buy a suit for the next interview that may not come. It was nice to have someone show some interest and this would be a management position so that would be right up my alley. I wonder if I’m not taking these things seriously enough? Who knows? Do I have to change the name of this thing if I get a job? Nope, I’ve spent too long building this brand to do that…maybe I’ll just use it as a way to relate the travails of the working man….and politics won’t stop if I find a job…

Here’s today’s lyric: “when I was just a little boy..standin to my daddy’s knee…my poppa said son don’t let the man get you…and do what he done to me…”

Well…another night and I didn’t watch the world series…so I don’t know who won the game…hold on…I’ll go look…okay, the Cards won so it’s going to a game 7…still not that interested in it….I did get a call on a resume yesterday and I have a phone interview coming up this morning….kind of funny that I just sent the resume out yesterday morning and got the call in the aft….we’ll see how that one goes…not much to do today…after the interview it will be the normal day…out for coffee and papers and then back here to cook and clean…I need some water and the couch for a minute so I’ll be back later for more…
