General Nothings - My Therapy

Really I want to post more often this year. Already I haven't posted anything from the middle of January.

So where to start?

Something that's a new low for me. I've twice sexed up this woman. But there's a small catch. I don't know her name. My plan is to let her call and hopefully she leaves a message with name to call her back. It's a George Costanza scheme of mine.

Sophia has definitely flaked out on me. Oh well.

I'm still pretty much a shut in. I've been out only a few times since new years.

My best friend's jobs are in turmoil. He works two jobs but he got railroaded at his day job. They demoted him and put him in evening hours. Which sucks because his other job is in evenings. So now he has to make a choice. I think the only reason he takes the demotion is cause of the health insurance for his kids. The second job doesn't offer anything like that.

Dr. Destructo, me that is, decided building my own computer isn't such a good idea after all. I had a parts list and set to buy everything. Then I went to Fry's Electronics and saw the same thing I plan on building for the same price but less headache. I'm just going to open a box and plug it in.

My union is gearing up for negotiations with my employer. I'm on the negotiating team for the union. I'm ready for it to start but we still have somethings to do before we sit down at the bargaining table. I'll be honest that I'm excited but also anxious. I imagine high stress and long ours coming up over the next two months.

Right now I'm pretty much ready to move out of the lap of luxury and into my own castle. I love where I live. It's the nicest place I've ever lived. It's just beautiful. That said though I'm in an apartment, paying rent. It's time move on. It's time for a house of my own. I can't justify paying the amount of rent I do to live in Xanadu.

The time frame for house hunting won't take place until negotiations are over. While the chance of strike or lockout is minimal I don't want to buy a house and then have that all pending. Just do one major thing at a time and things will work out.
