13 September 2006

Ooooh! Aaaah! Wonderful! Just a little update, since I'm not in front of a computer all day anymore.[More:]

So, after I quit my job I went on a couple weekend vacas, one to Virginia to visit my nephew (and his parents), and one to visit a friend in Massachusetts' lovely Berkshires, while my temp firm cast about for new positions for me.

Of course, they haven't come through yet, and it's a little frustrating to have left a dozen messages for my coordinator without being responded to. But the job is another one in the same field, which would, even with a high rate of pay, be impermanent in any case (I wanna be a LION TAMER!).

I guess they think I'm more dependent on them than I am.

I spent the past weekend in New Jersey doing some accounting work for a friend, who then hooked me up with a home restoration job later in the month, and some landscaping work as well. I spent the past couple days tooling around Brooklyn and Midtown, assisting my friend the location scout (for commercials/TV shows). Made next month's rent and then some.

I'm meeting my landlady in a bit to talk about work with her; a web design job needs doing and she could use some light warehouse organization. Bingo!

So being unemployed is a pretty busy time, plus I've been reading stacks'o'books, including Silence, by Shusaku Endo.

Had a great time last week at Gaspode's party, and I hope to get together with my favorite mechanisms soon.

Rock on!
Rock on, indeed.

Oddly enough, I had a dream the other day that all the pictures of you in meetups were of an impersonator and the real you looked and behaved entirely different from the flickred photo you. Your real identity was revealed on a school bus, fyi. What the dream was trying to instruct me on, I suppose, is that a Hugh Janus is a metaphor for modern life.

Keep up the good (non) work!

See, Hugh, even when you're away you're still the most-dreamed-about MeChazen.

What are you, man?

And what's happening with the love interest?

Hey Hugh. Glad you are doing well, thanks for the update.

Meant to comment yesterday, but the screen went white, with a zillion Xs. It was a very scary time...

No dust mites settlin' on you, my friend. During my rather extended unemployment sprees, I liked to take long walks to the cemetery. Nothing like visiting the dead to make ya feel alive.

Come shoot pigeons with us soon! : )

(Pigeons, dammit.)
