Take this job and shove it up your candy ass!

The enemy can be in front of you in various lengths of time and you don't notice it until its too late. My enemy, my boss. I need a new job. The thought has been with me for sometime but in these days of uncertainty job-hunting isn't exactly the wisest things to do. Why do I need a new job? Mainly I'm bored and secondly I'm tired of having my worked picked apart and scrutinized under a microscope. I will admit that there have been delays in sending correspondence out to people but they have been small and overall my rate for sending things out is very good. That doesn't seem to matter too much though. All I'm trying to do is keep my head above water. Do the 9 to 5 thing til I can get my writing published and find an opportunity to work in fiction. My 3 year mark is coming up in June and I had thought of quitting in august to just spend the rest of the year writing and maybe going back to school for a few classes. I even worked out a financial plan with prepaying all my utilities and a weekly budget. I put it away and decided to give the matter more thought. I think I should pull it back out again.

I'm still working on getting my getting my editing credentials and perhaps that will help me clear up what my next move should be. Right now I'm just having a bad day and wish I could call my mom who I know will listen except my boss might hear me talking about. I seriously have to get out of here.

The Healing power of books

Books are very comforting. I spent my lunch hour at Border’s surrounded by books. I feel so much better. Call me crazy but the idea that I can be surrounded by stories and information available at my finger tips for my mind to drink in peace in quiet or accompanied by music is just calming to me. I brought some magazines and a few books and even got a 10 % coupon that I can use the last week of the month. Nothing makes me happier then affordable books.

Sunday, I went to a Henry Rollins spoken word show. It’s the second spoken word show of his that I’ve been to. 3 hours of him on stage just being amazing; it even made up for the fact that I got turned around 3 different times before I got to the venue. The worst part is I did a practice run the week before and that went fine. But I got there, had a kick ass time, and got home without a problem. So I’m going to veg out on spoken word CD’s until I can get home and watch Buffy, Smallville then Kingpin.

Doesn’t he just look like a Hot Animal Machine?
