the inevitable good news
so I just got back from the gig with the Hired Guns…it was a fair amount of fun, and I made a bunch of money–which I need…AND (almost a Month ago!) I got the food stamps back, a MONTH ago…but I didn’t know it…well I know it NOW…AND I might be working on election day as an election “judge”–I believe it pays $180 bucks…it may take awhile to actually GET the money, but I’ll get it eventually…I’ve done it before, it was grueling then but I THINK I can still do it…
the “roomie ” and I went to a yard sale (uh oh)…For $25 *I* got a “new” boxspring and mattress, financed by the roomie of course…I paid her back already; the gig paid $100 and I earned every dollar…a complete stranger helped me tie the boxspring to the roomie’s vehicle (and it was his rope) and in fact the sellers threw in the boxspring for free–I wasn’t sure I needed it, but I think it IS a bit studier than the one I’ve been using all these years…his name was Brian I believe; he was/is a Musician…he bought the keyboard that was for sale…after the yard sale, the roomie and I went to Poolesville–it was Poolesville Day…I ran into two friends people I used to hang out with…She was nice, he not all that much–very weird, and I’m having trouble letting go of that…but for now Life is Good…I don’t yet know if my job situation has changed; I didn’t hear from anybody…oh well…I doubt if I’m gonna last NINE hours today…I might have to take a long Lunch and/or a lotta breaks to be able to say I was there for more than five hours…my Boss sez 9…I MIGHT be able to stay for 7…but I will feel guilty about “exaggerating” how long I was there today–another reason to dislike working on Sundays…still, Life is Good…
ADDENDUM–put in six and a half hours at work–kinda surprised I’m not dead yet…didn’t make it to 7…didn’t “exaggerate” how long I was there either…I’m OFF next Sunday and my Boss is gonna work it for me…I have a gig with MSR…(whispers) it’s a “tip jar gig” but the “roomie” doesn’t know that…a guy I knew and played in a band with back in the early 70s requested my “friendship” on Facebook…dunno why he did, but I said “yes”…to be honest, I don’t expect anything to happen, but who knows?
yay!:)
