    NB>> Yup, seems to be...  now, I just have to get myself caught up   
    NB>> again...    
    DAG> Ah, the alternating tribulation.  ;)   
      
   Yup...  ;)   
      
    NB>> Water under the bridge and all that... ;)  We probably rehash stuff   
    NB>> enough as it is...     
    DAG> Yeah it seems like we're getting around to the same sorts of   
    DAG> subjects pretty regularly regardless.  :)   
      
   After all, life tends to be somewhat repetitious, or at least cyclic... ;)   
       
    NB>> Yeah, to actually try it out, assuming it comes through...  ;)  It   
    NB>> probably wouldn't be any worse than that job at the airport cafe...   
    NB>> but you wouldn't know unless you tried...   
    DAG> Oh for sure it couldn't be any worse than that.  I mean hopefully   
    DAG> I'm not jinxing myself but that store was in a _really_ horrible state   
    DAG> due to the reason that it was new, and the kinks hadn't been ironed out   
    DAG> yet.  Plus it was almost a half hour commute, which is too much in a   
    DAG> vehicle that needs to be used as little as possible to keep it viable   
    DAG> as an emergency escape route, should that be necessary in the future.    
      
   Yeah, that was a bad scene all around...   
      
    DAG> If anything, my guess is that it would at least be somewhat better due   
    DAG> to the proximity of it.  Got that 2nd job referral just a little bit   
    DAG> farther away in the other direction now, too.  I'm gonna try to get to   
    DAG> at least one of the places today to drop off my infoz.   
      
   Proximity would certainly make things easier, for sure..  :)  Anything   
   come of those yet...?   
      
    DAG> Anyway about that emergency escape route bit...  It probably sounds a   
    DAG> little premature at this point, but my roomie is having the same sort of   
    DAG> issues and is considering moving back to the east coast as a potential   
    DAG> way to stay off of the street, as well.  So I'm basically planning to   
    DAG> try to head to Arizona, if my invite is still open there, should that   
    DAG> happen here.  I really hope it doesn't come to that, and I'm going to   
    DAG> do everything in my power to keep it from happening, but 50% of it is   
    DAG> kind of out of my hands at this point.    
      
   Hopefully things can work out at your end, and you won't need to make   
   the emergency escape...    
      
    DAG> No hours in sight till December-February on the contract   
    DAG> work, either. As it stands right now I actually don't even have enough   
    DAG> to cover rent & utilities at the end of this month.  Things have not   
    DAG> gone very well.    
      
   Ouch.   
      
    DAG>> I was finally able to re-find my son's phone now, too.  Which   
    DAG>> definitely helps for security if he's going to be out and about.   
    NB>> But that's very good... ;)   
    DAG> Yeah it should help him get out for things like basketball practice   
    DAG> on the days that I don't do it with him.  That's really about all he   
    DAG> gets out for right now, there's just not enough other regular kids   
    DAG> around to be able to give him much of an incentive to want to roam and   
    DAG> do his free range thing.    
      
   At least he has a friend now... :)   
      
    NB>> Friends are a good thing...  ;)  Probably would save some money on the   
    NB>> phone if they were spending more time physically together...  ;)  I   
    NB>> suspect the kids wouldn't even notice if things were messy in the   
    NB>> apartment...   
    DAG> I don't think they care, but the other kid's mother has a habit of   
    DAG> coming in and wanting to talk and stuff.  Kind of makes me pretty   
    DAG> ashamed of the quarters we're living in, but what can I really do?    
    DAG> Three people, three _lives_ worth of stuff all packed into a 1 bedroom   
    DAG> apartment tends to make it a bit difficult to keep up.   
      
   Maybe she doesn't mind about it either...  My house has been a real mess   
   for ages now... I just tell people that if they want to see me, that's   
   fine, but if they are going to be fussed about the house, not to   
   bother.. ;)   Some years ago, I was apologizing to the mother of one of   
   my piano students about the mess, and she, quite graciously, reminded me   
   that the important thing to her was that I was teaching her kids piano,   
   not my housekeeping...  ;)   
      
    DAG> I've got a whirlwind planned for sometime this weekend in order to   
    DAG> try to make it a bit farther through some of the cleaning tasks and   
    DAG> everything, but it needs to be when I can focus a day on that and that   
    DAG> alone.  I think one day this weekend will probably be filled with that.   
      
   And, did it accomplish...?   ;)   
      
   ttyl        neb   
      
   ... Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow.
