work
So I am currently employed. I got a job offer at the end of August, so I put in a 2 week notice at the toll bridge where I was working. Then, on the last day of the 2 weeks, the company (Sanford) called and took back the job offer. Plus the bridge was already in the process of hiring someone to replace me, so I couldn't go back there. I've been putting out job apps, and had an interview at one so far, but nothing has come up yet. I also filed for unemployment, but because I "resigned" from the bridge I have so far not qualified. This is crazy and not fun. This is nearing the end of 2 weeks without a job now. Pray for me and wish me luck!

dream last night
Normally my dreams are cool, and I write them down. They involve things like flying and magic and vampires and childhood places and sometimes even take place in historical times. Last night's dream was nothing like those. In fact, this one was a bit creepy, which is odd as I haven't had nightmares since I was a kid.
In my dream last night, I was in my chilhood hometown playing on the road near my old house. Normally it's sides go down into something like a marsh, but this time the bottoms were full of water, enough to swim in. I was swimming on one side with some little girl when we came across a type of shrine. There were sseverral dozen little figures, maybe real maybe not that were only a few inches high and almost looked mummified but a bit evil. There was also a full-sized mummy of a man sitting down. Beads were around his neck to his waist and there was money scattered around him (bills mostly). Also near the bottom of this shrine were hundreds of what looked like black dull rocks that were flat and thin. The little girl and I took some out and made a game of trying to break them in half.
Suddenly the ground began to shake. The sky started to get dark, and everyone began running for shelter. I got seperated from my family and the little girl and ended up in someone's house with 8 strangers. We were sitting at a table and there was a cross on the wall behing me. Someone started passing out small glasses with random colored drinks in them. Small bottles indicated some of the flavors: strawberry, lemon, peach. The drinks were lit on fire and when the fire went out, each of us drank our glass. Then as a group we all began to sing "The Lord's Prayer." Our voices blended pretty well and it sounded really nice. But we were all sad and happy at the same time as the world was ending.

end of the work week
Today, thursday, marks the end of another work week. The end of a crazy week. Besides being more clumsy and dropping things, tonight I managed to break my right flip-flop while at work. This does require talent, although maybe not the kind of talent I would wish to have. To make this even better, it happened around 4 maybe 4:30 ish and my shift didn't end until 10pm. My solution? A mini stapler and some pieces of tape. And no, it wasn't duct tape which can fix anything. It was just plain old scotch tape, which did work its wonders and kept my shoe together until I got home.
Also as part of my crazy week. Last night a friend dropped off a large chcolate cookie dough DQ blizzard at work for me. These are my absolute fave!!!!! Anyway, he brought it by around 9:30pm so I was working on getting my stuff done for the end of my shift. I got a few bites in before I had to leave. It sat with me in the car, looking all delicious but melting. When I got home, around nearly 10:30, I set it on the trunk of my car so I could grab my backpack and bag in my backseat. I closed my car door and reached for the delicious chocolateness and the worst thing possible happened. The outside was wet from melting. It slipped from my hand and exploded all over the outside of my car and my legs and my flip-flops (which if you read earlier are now dead anyway). My chocolatey goodness was all over the car and pavement and me but not in my tummy. Such a cruddy way to end the night. And I will admit, I was tempted to grab some of the cookie dough pieces off the pavement, but I managed to resist. Barely.
Long story short: I NEED chocolate cookie dough blizzards from DQ!!!!

tv shows (spoilers possible!)
Ok, so since I don't have cable at home anymore, I've been watching them at work, although there's no cable there so it's just the basic channels, but still it's tv. Anyway, so I saw the results for America's Got Talent tonight. I so wanted the guy at the end to win over the girl who did impersonations. His juggling acts were so cool!!! The acts were on last night but I was busy watching other shows so I only caught maybe 3 acts, but his was definiately awesome to watch!
Tonight I also watched America's Next Top Model. Since thie season they're showing has already finished, who was the winner?" I know Brittany and Molly were still around in the top 5, but who won? Does anyone know?
Also Love in the Wild tonight was crazy! They were right in saying the end of this episode was a must-see! Who'd have thought 2 couples would go home because none of them wanted to be with any of the others? At least Sam and her partner (what's his name?) were still together. They are so cute!!!
And last night I saw the premier of Take the Money and Run. The 2 brothers tried so hard and made it through over half the 48 hour period. Dang those detectives grilling them did their job well. I felt so bad when the brother Paul finally gave in to their pressure. Also I completely missed Master Chef to watch this show, so I'll have to go online and see if I can find it somewhere and see what happened between Christian and the blond girl. I find he's gotten very annoying and arrogant, so I hope he got eliminated. And Combat Hospital was interesting as well. Who'd have thought the gay female pilot would have been married before and been straight or at least secretly bi and then got stuck being sick with her ex-husband? Cool plot twist if very small. And yay for the secret service guy for coming back again for a bit!

tuesday 10pm
Today is a huge day! The reason why? I have cancelled my cable. It's more than I can afford right now. But the big thing is that I've had cable tv my whole life except 1 year at my first apt. And that was about 8 years ago. Ah cable, how I will miss you!! The shows and the background noise since I live alone and it makes me feel more homey. I shall have to either watch more movies or figure out how to get the basic channels like 4, 6 and 11. Thus begins day 1 of being cable-less.
In other news, at my work there are once again our evil annual flying bugs. We call them fish flies although none of us are really sure what they are. Their white-ish and fly with what looks like 2 antannea coming from their back ends like a "v". Plus they fly a bit then land and it looks like their butts explode as they stick to things. Then they flap around on the ground in a circle for awhile then die and really smell. And there's not just a few, oh no. There are 100s. And what's really gross is when they fall in where the money goes. That makes us have to sift them out to get to the money at the end of each shift. Ewwwwww!!!!! I might invest in some rubber gloves for the next few weeks. Or wish for rain on my overnight shift.

Does anyone else ever wish they got more mail that wasn't just bills and junk mail? Since it's just me, that's all there ever seems to be. Every once in awhile I get something new like a card or magazine with coupons for local shops. There's got to be ways to get more interesting mail. Like a friend of mine who used to participate in surveys and got to try things at home, like food or perfume, etc. How do I get in on this? Maybe I should get a penpal. Or take some sort of correspondence class, once I figure out how to find something like that. Any suggestions?
Once again Facebook is sucking me back in. I was addicted (yes, i admit it) for several months then got sidetracked by playing WOW (world of warcraft to the uninformed). I'm still playing WOW but not every day, more like every other day or every few days. But Facebook is starting to get fun again. Especially since I finally got my game requests list back under 100 (it's around 40 right now).
Their games are mind-numbing and help pass the time, but more often than not the time gets away from me way too much. You sit to play for a few minutes and then suddenly.... it's 3 hours later!!! How do they do? I must learn to tear myself away more and do more productive things. Although isn't growing crops on Farmville or cooking food in Cafeworld a totally worthwhile waste of time? Hmmmm, something for me to ponder as I play Mafia Wars.
