Nervous
Yesterday I spoke with Jeff Gordon about the new job at his company, lowermybills.com. He told me to expect a call from allen, their sysadmin; no call has come as yet..but he's undoubtably a busy man, especially lacking help on the support end- my purpose to start.
Although it appears to be exactly the job I've been looking for, and truly hoped to find, I'm still, well, anxious. Everybody mocks superstition, yet everybody always seems to fall back on superstions in retrospect; so, finding one spider after another drowned in the laundry soaking in the tub is upsetting on so many levels. I mean, of course, the obvious-- the helpful little guys died-- but then, on the other hand, killing spiders is bad bad mojo. Technically, they killed themselves, assumably by accident. Then again, perhaps we're just difficult roommates. Most likeky thay hated the bleach smell wafting about, and went walkabout in search of less smelly digs, taking the obvious route, straight down, as spiders that live on the cieling are wont to do.
Well, on to other news. I just installed M$ Project, to familiarise meself with it. Nothing to it, on the surface anyway. Pretty self-explanitory by the looks of it. I kinda thought it had some kind of journal thingy...like this here, but not as such. It kinda does, but it seems geared toward tracking inventory and projects and managementey stuff like that; likely will be useful for something. I really DO need to get more organised.
In a more desperate move, I tried to hock my bike and my camera, to cover bills. Nobody would take the camera, since it's battery is dead. One place offered to give me about $50, if I put in a new battery first. Duh!!! That's barely more than the cost of the battery!! Another shop wasn't interested in it at all, but would loan me $80 on the bike. Sounds alright, you say? Well what the hell do you know, and who asked you anyway?! See, it's an Aluminium Cannondale, for better or worse, with lots of fancy extras, which I paid well nigh on $1600 for, so a loan on this collateral for $80 is a pathetic tragic joke. What's that come out to? Well, 5%. Bla.
Well, as luck has it, see, I planned on calling the rest of the sleasy pawnshops in LA to ask them first, and was just about to when the mail came this morning, so I figured I'd just check that first, and lo! I got my unemployment check!! Saved! Not only that, but I get another check before officially losing my 'unemployed' status.
Wish me luck; I start this coming monday, and I'm the entire user support team!
