life. ick.
Went through all the effort to get this up, then realized it was hard to keep my focus on a blog when I was working on so many other cool things. That said, I figure its time for an update and hopefully more frequent ones from now on.
My life has been slowly spiraling out of control this past month or so; both of my cattes got very ill, one of my teeth cracked pretty hardcore on a carrot and I have no dental insurance, and MD decided to totally fuck me on my car registrations and suspended it. My one skinny catte, Pipper, has kidney disease which requires this awful process of giving her fluids twice a week + other meds. The other catte (Pudge) got a clot in his front foot which led to xrays (which showed possible lung cancer) and an ultrasound of his heart (which is healthy). $1000 and 6 hours later we were told ‘good luck’ and he is now on blood thinner meds and still needs to get checked out about his lungs. I love them to death and have had them since they where a few days old. I cannot imagine what it will be like to not have them around. This next year (if that) is going to be emotionally brutal.
All of this shit was all followed by a giant chunk of my tooth just cracking off on a Friday night eating a carrot. Needless to say this pretty much puts me in a super shitty position of having to take a job simply to get dental insurance. I cannot afford to get it fixed any other way, and after two weeks of living with it, I’m starting to really freak out about it… wish things didn’t always cost so much money.
I’m still “funemployed” after being turned down for the only job I really wanted because of computer stuff I did a long time ago. Got back in touch with the jobs I turned down earlier this year and I’m now slowly working my way through the process of figuring out which one I’ll be happiest at. I just need to take one and get back on my feet. Hopefully it wont be so bad and I’ll enjoy the work I’m doing. It’s truly amazing to me that I cannot find a job doing security (it would appear that without a clearance this is impossible) or some awesome development position. At this point I figure i’ve got something good comming my way in the near future. Life cant possibly continue to shit on me after this, can it? Wish me luck.
I’ve got a couple projects in the pipe that I’m going to talk about this week and maybe a presentation or two to give in the near future. Time will tell.
