Oh Joy Almost April

It's almost April. Why is that good? Well, soon I'll be able to turn off the heat which is prohibitively expensive. For most of the winter I've kept the temperature around 61 degrees. It's cold in here. In fact I'm sitting in front of a space heater now. My sharper image gadget clock tells me the temp is 60. Too bad about Sharper Image and a lot of other stores. Too bad about my job.

I'm out of work like lots of other people. And almost out of savings. I took a chance and quit a job I hated at a company where my coworker poured salt in my coffee creamer. My boss them made that person my supervisor after saying that such juvenile actions warranted immediate termination. Uh huh.

Anyway I had a second job with people I knew and liked. Unfortunately, that company fell pretty flat and I was laid off. I've never applied for unemployment because I didn't think I qualified. Besides I think I was too proud. Kept thinking the second company would win a contract and I'd be called back. I was called back for 2 weeks in October and for one day in February. But things look bad now.

Time to call a temporary agency. And hope.
