So, I went to the DMV to get my Pennsylvania driver's license and they told me I need glasses.  Was not pleased seeing as I stood in line for about 40 minutes and now I have to go back there next week and fill out all the paperwork again.  Bastard DMV is only open one day a week, so there is always a line clear out the door.  WTF?  ARGH.  Even the Goldendale DMV is open two days a week, and this town is at least three times its size.  Am also not pleased that this will lead to even more money leaving my pocketbook.  Anyway, I went to the optometrist yesterday and had the exam (it's just my distance vision that's a bit wonky), got the prescription and picked out some shiny new frames.  Shiny $220 frames.  LOL. 

On the plus side?  I think the geek image is now complete.   Now I just need that job. 

Yep, it's snowing here.  It's Sunday, and for the first time in....oh God, five years or so, there is officially absolutely nothing I NEED to do today. No 87 item to-do list on a whiteboard, no stalls to muck, no hay to stack,  no fences to repair, no video to shoot , not enough snow to plow (and someone else does that anyway)...

I am sitting here drinking chai, and being a lazy ass motherfucker.

I should probably love it, but it's sort of making me stir crazy and a bit melancholy.  Fuck.  I'm just not used to this and I'm not sure I like it.  I think I'll go for a run later.  In the meantime, I'm applying for every job I qualify for in a 20 mile radius that doesn't involve wiping someone's ass. 

And, well, everyone.  I'm sure we all have at least one thing to be thankful for today-me, I'm just thankful for all the friends I have, here and elsewhere.  I love you guys.   *sniffle*

I'm also thankful for pumpkin pie, of course.

What about the rest of you?

So, it's my favorite month of the year.  And in 19 days, I'll be 21.  Hallelujah! 

This is supposed to be the last week of nice weather before winter.  It's lovely out, it's my day off, and I'm sitting in a little cafe just trying to enjoy life (or at least this latte) for a moment. 

Anwyay.  I can't wait to get drunk off my ass in a few weeks.  Expect lots of ridiculous, typo-laden posts if I am anywhere near a computer.

<bitch>Look, I'm actually posting something.  You know why?  I ACTUALLY HAVE TIME NOW.  I AM NOT WORKING 18 FUCKING HOURS A DAY!   Why is that?  Because I officially have no job now.  I QUIT! I QUUUUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!  I AM FREEEEEEEEEE!!

Ahem.

So, for the last four years or so, I've been pretty much a slave to my job and a particular person who I thought was a bit obsessive (like me) and certainly a workaholic, but otherwise quite awesome to be around and work for.  I also came to view said person as a family member and close friend, and, even a kind of father figure.  Now I have found out that person is not at all who I thought he was, and is simply an asshole and a sociopath who has manipulated and deceived everyone around him and done some pretty horrible things.  Not horrible as in assault or rape, but damn, it's sort of a close second.  So, long story short-my job and my whole life has come crashing down upon me the last few weeks and I'm sort of sitting here reeling from the shock of it. 

I have a place to stay temporarily, and just enough money to get by for a few months, but I'm going to have to make some serious decisions right now about what I'm going to do with my life (Stay in Nowhere, WA and compete with my co-workers for a job at Subway? Join the Army?  Go back to Alaska and work on the family pig farm?)  Gah.  It just didn't turn out like I thought it would.

I really, really hate people today.  *kicks at things* AGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!</bitch>

It's 111 degrees outside.   HOLY FUCK.  I can't move.  This is why I live in the northwest-so I don't have to deal with extreme heat.  *cries*

That's all.
