It’s a shame the radio didn’t come through.. It really sounded like “the station Billy Crystal uses for all his movie sound tracks.” Later it became some real good bluesy rock.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI just spent an enormous amount of time retyping my resume into a “text only” version for a company that doesn’t like the word format. However, now that it is done, it will be easy to maintain.
Time for snack break and to rest my eyes from this monitor. When I come back, quickly copy a cover letter and shoot it off along with this text only resume.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeToday’s listening for productivity is “The Very Best Of Todd Rundgren.” When I was gandering the CDs I saw “Al Green Greatest Hits” and could not hold back a chuckle because I read it as “Al Greenspan’s Greatest Hits” and parody and music titles like “Easy Money” “Money for Nothing” “The Rates Are Going Up” “Under Wallstreet (to the tune of Under the Boardwalk)” etc came to mind.

Here’s a concept I missed June 29, 2004 11:14 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeUsually my good friend and I are exceptional at predicting trends in technology. I completely missed this one! Your retail stores like Home Depot, Target etc go through such turnover that they are now require applicants to sit a terminal to apply. The interesting thing is this terminal simply goes to an Internet job site so you no longer have to get dressed to apply for minimum wage jobs because you can do it from the convenience of your house!

This picture better shows the depth of the trench. I should have taken a picture of the stuck Jeep but my mind was a little focused on wenching it out. Ropes can be seen on the hood of the green car in the first picture. Click on the pictures for a larger view.

You might be a redneck post sorta implied that I got the Jeep stuck in my own backyard. Well… I might have been driving it through a spot that I’ve planned to put a gray water discharge so there is an L shaped trench and two deep holes. The arrows show the intended path of the Jeep. The circles show the 4 axle deep holes that the 4 cooresponding wheels of the Jeep ended up in. Ooops. (really 2 holes and a trench)

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeA New Day!
Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:
This Morning
I want to go back into the warm bed. My mind is racing because there is so much I need to be doing. It’s hard to be calm when it feels like all the walls are crumbling around you. I need to spend 2 hours at a temporary agency to get a job that won’t pay my bills and will get in the way of me making sales calls but .. oh I don’t know.
Tonight I deal craps at a mock casino although what I will get paid will probably just cover gas with a little let over.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI took Tommy to play D&D at his friend’s house. I really appreciate the guy that is DM’ing. He has gone out of his way to really help these kids have some normal social time and he is being extremely patient. Tommy is having a tough time staying under control but so far has not been unbearable. Despite my constant reeling Tommy back in the game is very fun and relaxing for me too. I needed the break.
add a commentTommy’s appointment June 28, 2004 4:34 pm
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI took Tommy to his doctor’s appointment and the doc took some time to let me know Tommy is feeling more depressed than usual because of my job searching. (there was a lot more to it than that but in summary – and it was good conversation). He recounted a story of a very successful friend of his that ended up as a cashier. Many people have suggested that I will end up in retail at minimum wage. Is this a polite way of telling me that I’m not as good as I think I am? They nicen it with “this market just doesn’t support you” but do they really mean “your fire burned out buddy! your horse died! Get off the traiL! Yer in the way!”

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeA couple of kind souls have donated today and I understand deeply what it means when a poet says something has “warmed his heart!” I have felt so terribly beat down recently that this act of kindness actually created a physical warmth inside my chest! I’m not ashamed to say I started to tear up.
Thank you!
