A month in the life

Whew! It's been quite a month. I moved from the temp position at Amerigroup to one at United Way. It pays less, and the job is terribly boring, but a paycheck is a paycheck. I've just been going and doing it and then I go home. It's steady work until April, so whatever.

There was a job opening there for a full time position as an administrative assistant. I put in my resume, but haven't heard anything yet. More on that as it develops.

In case you haven't noticed, we've gotten a new president, and while the first 2+ weeks haven't been sterling, I've been very impressed with the guy I voted for.
  • Guantanamo Bay? Yeah, it's a legal limbo and an abortion of justice. Let's shut that place down, see who's actually there and do something good and fair with them.
  • Speaking of which, America does not torture. No we fucking don't.
  • If you've gotten a bunch of money from the American people, you're going to have to make sacrifices.
There have been some hiccups with some of his prospective appointees (for fuck's sake, pay your fucking taxes), but it'll work out, and he's taken responsibility for his mistakes. Good for him.

I'm so unused to my president living in the same reality I do, that I don't know what to do when I hear about what's happening. Government spending on... weatherizing homes? I... think that's a great idea. Come weatherize my home!

Eric Young is the most underrated pro-wrestler working today.

I don't believe that Jesus was the son of God. I'm not doubting his goodness, nor his ideals, just his divinity. Which is a fair thing to doubt for everyone else. I've scrutinized his claims and I just can't get behind the idea. I also don't think that the Bible is more than a book. I'm also skeptical about the rest of the organizations.

Miranda's birthday was on the 31st, and for the most part, the party went very well. She got some fun stuff. One of the well-wishers made a bad decision and we're all paying for that.

Also, we're getting a few Gs from our tax returns. I'm THRILLED!
