Arrgghhhh....

Ok, so the last few weeks have been kinda rough.

I lost my job of 8 years. A job I really loved. A job where I felt that I contributed to the good of the world, where I helped people once in a while. A job that got to my heart and soul.

But its gone and now my focus is on trying to find another job.

(Ok, so I had a meltdown in my previous post. But I wanted that job damnit!)

So today I got up and again went searching through the newspaper classifieds both online and the paper itself. I went to a few other job search engines and searched and searched - and as usual I sent out a few resumes.

Then, I went to visit Mom and my sister. While there I got Mom setup with online banking so we can keep a closer watch on her checking account and I filed for her to possibly get the now infamous stimulus payment! She gets Social Security only, so I went online to the IRS site and got the paperwork - tried to do it online through a couple of the free sites and it was more difficult than filing regular taxes. Sooooo I said screw it and did it the old fashioned way - my hand!

Yes - I used an ink pen!

Now, when I left home this morning I was wearing a white long-sleeved t-shirt with a pretty red hooded sweater and my most favorite pair of jeans. I was looking pretty spiffy if I do say so myself. And, when at Moms I took a trip to the bathroom to do what people do in bathrooms and....

arrrrghhhhhhh.......

the zipper broke!

Not one, but two of the little metal teeth fell out and it can't be fixed.

I think mom and my sister heard me arrrghh because when I came out they asked what was wrong.

My sister giggled.

Mom said I could take them and get a new zipper. Not worth it - they were bought on sale and I only paid about $15 for them.

arrrghhhhh.....

So now not only am I old, ugly and unemployed - I am minus my most favorite jeans.
