Doh, She's a Sneaky One!

If you're thinking, "Wha-- where'd dem posts go?" then you have a keen eye, Grasshopper.

I've sanitized the last couple of posts, where I've been bitching about work. Why? I let slip that I'm running one of the top 9,000 blogs in the world, according to the goodly folks at Technorati, out of, oh, say, 49 million. Naturally, they were curious, and since I have no shame, in the morning, I'll pass along the URL.

Like I say, everyone I know knows I write this shit. I have a big mouth. :)

I have good news, though. I'm out of my jam for yet another two weeks -- my old employers have some work available. Then I have to decide whether to put my eggs in that basket, or in the basket of the temp agency who possibly will have work once they test and assess me on Monday.

You know, if there's any one thing I've learned this past couple years, it's that pride fucks you up. Need help? Ask for it. Don't know where to turn? Admit it. It's amazing where help comes from when you don't expect to find any.

This morning was a fucking dark time for me. It consciously felt like I had hit "bottom" bottom. I don't like knowing how that feels. Naturally, it's not REALLY bottom. I can fall much farther. I simply choose not to. I can't. Must keep upward. So, we're back on the up.

And tonight I took receipt of my recording gear. I have one of the coolest fucking mics in the world, baby. And headphones. Tonight, before bed, I lie in bed with the iPOD and listen to some music on my real expensive studio headphones, not those cheap fucking fraying Sony plastic ones I've got.

Nice to have my day ending far better than it began. It's funny, now and then I decide the price of earning money is too high for what the real / physical / emotional costs are. I cancel an appointment or something, knowing money's too tight to mention, and next thing you know, it appears elsewhere. I guess I always just worry that luck's gonna run out one day.

But, not today. Whew.

Envy me. I have Swiss Steak cooking in the oven. Fuck, it smells good. Man, I rock. Kiss this, Betty Crocker!
