Hey There Coffee Girl

I am still batting 000 for this whole "finding a job" thing. I'm getting more anxious, and I feel myself submitting to the idea of moving home. I still want to know how high my insurance is, and if it can sustain me. I've been meaning to jot a few things down here lately but I suppose encouragement from a friend is really the best motivator.

A lot has been happening in my relatively uneventful life. My car was sent to the junk yard, by my hand. Every time I thought I was making a mistake I flashed back to the handful of terror-inducing episodes on the hwy where I thought I was going to not live. I got $150 from the whole deal, which is a lot more than what I got from the Voyager. I've noticed a pattern with the cars I own and how long they last. It started in 2000 when I got a 1992. I drove that for almost 6 years, and then got a 1998. I drove that one for 6 years and then got a 2004. So I'm always 8 years behind the times, and they last for 6 years.

Also in the news I cut my hair. Lobbed off a good 10 inches. I have a pony tail somewhere around the house that I need to mail out to a place that makes wigs for cancer patients. Hopefully there is enough good hair that they can make something.

I almost had a fit last night when I arrived home and the downstair's neighbour's car was so close to the half mark that I could barely fit my car in. I had to back it up far enough passed the other car so I could hop into the back seat and exit that way. This is all after I knocked on their door and they rudely ignored me. So all bets are off. No more walking around on tippy toes, it's time to walk with my heels again. No more creeping up the stairs (unless it's late, I don't want to be that rude). Result: the landlord is finally going to clear away the dirt pile that has been obstructing the second parking spot for well over a year. And lastly, neighbours are on my bad side until they choose to redeem themselves. I told them when they moved in that the dirt pile made it tough to park two cars, but instead of DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT, they made their problem my problem. Not a good time to do that to me.

I've been keeping up with my resolutions, moderately well. I'm hoping to notice an improvement across all fronts. While doing some studying today I tried to short-hand Stock Exchange and ended up with SExchange. So much for time savers.

Also, I think my calculator is on crack:


I'm currently cooking a Butternut squash. Since when? Also yesterday I marinated my cheap steaks in soy sauce and brown sugar with diced onions. Not too shabby. Am I...growing up? Now all I need is a JOB.
