Good News, Bad News...and just news

Good News: covered me for gas as I tagged along with the Kenosha Garou group who was zipping up to Minneapolis to play Saturday night. I got to see him, Larry, and get some cool roleplaying in.

The Keno group zipped back down early Sunday morning...I got 2 hours of sleep before Mike left to go to his mom's place and woke me up. I spent Sunday afternoon hanging out here and then one of my fellow Twin Cities game player friends who had moved to Schaumburg popped in and we hung out a couple of hours before heading to the Kenosha Game on Sunday evening.

I'm now working at Pizza Hut. I'll be working around 25 hours a week as a cook and filling in as a delivery driver if needed. It's a job, I'm being considered for becoming a part-time shift manager. So the week is somewhat off to a good start. The other upside to this job...I get a free meal when I'm working which takes a little pressure off the food budget in the apartment (see below).

Bad News: I had my 2nd interview early this afternoon for the IT Support job. The interview didn't seem to be going well and the questions they were asking didn't seem to fit with what I knew of the job. A couple of hours later, I got an e-mail confirming that I was no longer being considered for the position.

The household is broke until Friday. We'll be doing the classic "back of the cupboard" cuisine for the week.

The transmission in my van is starting to act up. It likes to slip at speeds near the shift points. Not good at all. It has to live a while longer. It's just started doing it...and it only does it sporadically, but it's still signs of a failing transmission (and with 160,000 miles on it...it's allowed.)

Just News: I updated Stocky Jock to ask for "support" and keeping the site free. Right now, I'm barely going to be able to cover rent or expenses (one or the other right now). I'm frantically trying to nail down a full time job and that financial drive overrides Stocky Jock. If there is a huge outpouring of support, then I can justify spending the time to get updates done and continuing to work on the site rebuild that I have in mind. It would also be nice to see some support from all the people who visit the site (and there are a goodly number based on the site stats).

Overall: I'm frustrated, getting worried about where I'm going to be living after the lease is up on 30 June, and stressing out over the van and money in general. I know I should just let go and let Deity help me along, but I'm merely human and letting life "free fall" is extremely difficult (and very frightening).
