Well, today fucking rocked.


  • I appear to be on the verge of being employed again.

  • The new gig is as a Dispatcher/Reservation Agent for Classic Limousine Service

  • Went in for the interview, and immediately fell in love with the place.

  • They have office dogs.

  • Interview was easy, very informal.

  • After we were done, the owners sent me to the company that handles their payroll.

  • I need to go back tomorrow. I didn't have the right ID for the I-9.

  • Plus I need the information for direct deposit.

  • But yeah, I may well be gainfully employed as of early next week.

  • Originally, my plan after the interview was to roll to Kaiser to pick up some meds.

  • But since I was in the neighborhood, and hadn't been there in a year, I went to Lord & Sons' 7th St warehouse.

  • Caught up with some friends, and one boss who hadn't realized I had been gone. For a year.

  • Things appear to be going well there.

  • I do miss that job, but know that physically, it's not an option.

  • The best thing about the new gig?

  • KAISER!!!!!!

  • I won't need to change doctors.

  • Which, if you have the litany of problems and long history I have, is so important.

  • The starting pay is meh, but there is a raise after the 90-day probationary period.

  • Besides, I get office dogs!

  • Dogs who spent my entire interview on my feet.

  • They know a sucker when they see one.

  • The only drawback is I'll probably be working weekends, so no Baycon for me.

  • I'll live.

  • OFFICE DOGS!!!!!!
