Morning people.
Another morning of waking at 3am... Did the cat loudly ask to be let in, as mine does right before dawn? That was yesterday's 3am wake up call, today it was just "you're done sleeping, wake up!". The bummer is that today is a twelve hour work day due to a special performance tonight at the library.

I think I will give up trying to use color font here (can't get the same hue each time). and the news for Fergus is bad, we have weeks.

I think we're back to the problem created when copyrights continue to be extended beyond their original intended expiration. Superman has long since transcended being a brand name and become a cultural icon; modern day mythology. He's so deeply embedded in our culture (as is Mickey Mouse) that no one should be able to own him and restrict his usage at this late point. If they don't want statues of kids in Halloween costumes, they shouldn't sell Halloween costumes. What's next, banning photographic images of kids in Superman suits? The kid owned that article of clothing, and it's illegal to create an image of the kid in clothes he actually wore?

I am feeling like such a loser. I haven't worked regularly since February, and haven't been on a job at all in about a month. I have no reason to be out of bed before noon except to take my meds. So today I'm up early after five hours sleep and just taking inventory on things. My financial situation, my lack of progress throughout the year, the fact that the most productive thing I'll probably do today is play Call Of Duty better than any employed 34 year old should be able to play. I really REALLY miss work. I'm not sure if I will have the funds to hold out until after my class, but I'm thinking not. When I get back to work my credit cards will be maxed out and my bank account will be empty, just like last year. Pulling myself out of this hole changing careers has thrown me into has been more difficult than I had hoped it would be.

I think I will give up trying to use color font here (can't get the same hue each time). There's a six digit code that appears in the Choose Color Menu labeled Hex: You can copy and paste that code every time. For example basic white is always ffffff and basic black is always 000000.

Thanks. Dupont- Can you go back to driving? Around here, SF Bay area, it is a growing occupation.

It's tough, especially when you like, or liked, what you were doing.
Like Puma had mentioned, if driving is an option, there's always demand for GOOD drivers.
Have you considered something lateral that would kind of go along with building inspector ? Would be an appraiser be similar, or maybe home inspections ?

I can't really drive anymore because of the medications I'm on. If I could I'd surely have a place at my old job. They wish I could come back. I could screw around and get a shady doctor to fill out my medical card. I just chose not to because it becomes an annual problem of hoping you can find a shady doctor, and paying out of pocket because you can't go to the doctor your work does for the DOT stuff. Same reason I'd rather just own a car that can pass smog than worry about finding someone who will make sure it passes every time the DMV requires it.
I tried to get a part time job, but that didn't work out. I could probably get hired at McDonalds, but I don't think I'm going to resort to that until my credit cards are maxed out.

The GCD.... anyone else having trouble with the page tonight? I was using it until about an hour ago, and now it just won't load... -M I've had trouble with the website pretty much since I first encountered it.

Just got home from work and saw that, and was about to past about it. Best wishes to Bernie and his friends and family. My father had a stroke when I was a senior in high school and it can be a long grueling process for all involved through the testing, treatment, physical therapy and recovery, so good wishes to all concerned. -M
