My day has finished up with a quickly scarfed greaseball of a dinner (Krispy Krunchy...uh, Kchicken?) followed by drinking pre-mixed TGI Friday's White Russians straight from the bottle. I am going to regret this in the morning (and probably at about 2am as well).
Good and/or humorous things that happened today. I remembered to make coffee and it was good! I earned $20 in tips from the local cabbies for sending them hotel business. I didn't kill anyone today. My garden seedlings are doing quite well. La Quinta in Slidell had a meth lab blow up in it.
Not so good things that happened today: I forgot to eat. It was extremely busy due to French Quarter Fest, the Ponchatoula Strawberry Festival, and Lady Gaga. The manager (who could give a crap about how well he does at this site and seems perpetually stoned) wandered off leaving me by myself to close. Bleah.
I am currently reworking my resume because my tiny two-week paycheck gets nowhere near to covering even half my expenses. Thus, I sent it to Mike for a second opinion. He noted that as I only had the last five years of job history this could be a potential problem as most employers look for the last ten. I explained that the time missing was hosed due to my ex-leech and I was reluctant to note it. Mike pointed out it was all in how creatively you worded the situation.
"In that case," I said. "I took a four year sabbatical helping at-risk children and the mentally ill."
The more I think about it, the better it sounds. Who's gonna question that?
