The best times in my life either started off with me being angry, me getting angry in the middle or me blowing my anger wad right at the end of the adventure. I just can't get angry these days. I think I'm just too lethargic. Like this morning, it was 2 pm. I was waking up. I went back to sleep because I don't wake up until 3 pm. Isn't that kind of activity illegal?
This afternoon, somepoint in there. I dunno. It happened. My life is starting to get really hazy. So, this afternoon, this lady called. She was calling from this temp agency that I had sent my resume to about three weeks ago. So I get really pumped. I'm all like, "Hell yeah, I now have independent confirmation that other humans are reading my resume. Not those damned computer things." So she asks me if I'm looking for a technical position. Now I'm a computer engineer so that's a big yes. She then says that they don't get many technical positions and she was just calling me because she wanted me to know that she had read my resume and would prolly never be calling me again.
I got a little peeved. Back in the day I would have flown off the handle and gotten some serious rant time in about how it sure was great that someone called me and let me know they were never going to do anything productive for me. They just wanted to make sure I knew that they were doing a good job of nothing for me. I can barely keep it up now. I'm slowly becoming a shell of my former self.
Soon I'll cut my hair, go back to school for an MBA, get a middle management position shuffling papers and saying things like, "So you want me to make this my primary action object?" And meaning it with all my heart and soul. Yeup, crazy pat is making way for succesful pat.
*shudder*
I'll prolly get a car now too. Or maybe I'll clean up my room.
