Tuesday. Yay.

My cats are driving me nuts. Right now Sammy is on my lap licking one of my hands so I have to type one-handed. Now... if I was working I'd push him off — but it hardly seems warranted for more effective blogging. He's so sweet, but, damn... if I wanted a super-needy little creature I'd get a dog. Or have a baby.

Bea, too. Earlier I had to battle it out with her to stop head-butting my screen. Before that, I fought with her to stay off the kitchen counter, and before that, out of the plants. You'd think my being home so much would lead to less attention-hungry cats, but it seems the opposite is true.

If I put up a Christmas tree I might have to shoot a cat.

In other news, I've contacted a few more people about work, done some more name change stuff, some laundry and some organizational stuff. Bo-ring.

I do have an interview tomorrow. Wish me luck. Then therapy, then on Thursday I'm attending the Thanksgiving Feast at my old job. Not the most recent job, obviously.

Still looking for a roomie, damn.

Saw Marie Antoinette this weekend. Purty. Shallow, but very lovely. Like some rococo acid trip.

Um, that's all. Kisses!

More bored

L left the rest of her bottle of wine here the other night. I had pasta tonight, and thought... hey, wine!

Then I had a bottle of Bailey's here from the brownies I made, and I thought... hey, I'll have some of that Bailey's! It's just like dessert!

Well, now I'm watching the last part of the Greatest Songs of the 80s on VH1. What a fabulous show! Like, the best ever!

Maybe it's the booze.

Probably why I avoid drinking at home.

Details of the Bored

What I did today:

1) Woke up to an ant infestation emanating from a plant I brought in the other day (um, how do you get ants out of a potted plant?) and leading straight to the cat food bowl, which explains why the cats were frantically trying to wake me up ("MeOW!"). Waged a little genocide before breakfast with Clorox Clean-Up, which I've found from prior experience is a really excellent ant killer should you ever find yourself without any Raid. Drowned the rest of the motherfuckers.

2) Voted.

3) Went to the DMV, or as it's now known in Georgia: the DDS (which: annoying), to change my name (yay!) and address (about two and a half years late). Didn't expect they'd take my picture as they didn't last address change... so OF COURSE they did. No makeup, Brooklyn t-shirt and raincoat. Stylin'!

4) Looked at job boards. Cussed.

5) Wrote an email.

6) Talked to my sister, who locked herself in her room to talk to me without interruptions from my increasingly-frantic-from-being-ignored nephews. We talked until my youngest nephew started slipping notes under the door, which... hee. Especially as he is in preschool and can't write yet. I imagine the note going: M-O-M. T-R-G-S-F-M-E-P. T-R-A-C-E.

7) Talked to H, who had dental surgery today. Like $9000 worth. His problems come from knocking his teeth out in a motorcycle accident when he was 16, but even so: brush and floss, bitches. $9000? Ouch. And I was bitching about paying $250 after insurance for my gum treatment this past summer.

Um, that's really it. I am THAT boring.

checking in

It's been noted by my reader (singular) that I'm not blogging. Well, that's mostly true: I've been writing, but not posting. I know, right? But everything I've written has been so maudlin and self-pitying.

Unemployment sucks, and I'm working through it at the speed of sloth. Had two interviews last week that I thought went well -- they asked salary ranges, both of 'em -- but I haven't heard shit from either this week. So I'm loitering by the computer hitting 'Get mail' frequently, and jumping every time my cell phone rings between the hours of 9:00 and 6:00, which is not doing me a bit of good. I know it can take weeks even after you get the nibble, so I need to calm the fuck down.

I just need to work again. Amazing, it's the bane of your existence until it ain't there anymore. Meetings! Conference calls! Business trips! Deadlines! Presentations! Revisions!

Remind me of this when I'm working again.

It's beautiful outside and I think I need to take advantage of it. Hopefully I'll be stuck in an office very soon and moaning that I didn't take advantage of not working. One can only hope. :)
