Interesting week ahoy

Yes, it should be interesting (pink really doesn’t work well with this background, Laura)

Anyway, enough of that. I called back the place I interviewed with last week to let them know I was going to be out of town this week. They let me know that “we’re still not really sure what we’re going to do, but you’ll be the first to know when we do.” Blah. Since I was going to be taking over the job of a guy who was leaving, it may be possible that he decided to stick around. Or something. Who really knows? I figure once I get back from this week’s silliness, I’ll try and apply for jobs again.

So, this week. Tuesday night – hockey playoff game. The Lightning are 1-1 right now, and this will be their first game at home. I’m excited, even though we’re up in the cheapest possible seats. Hey, what can you do?

Wednesday morning I’m shipping off to Nashville until Friday evening. That’s right, my job is sending me out of town. My temporary, no-benefits, won’t hire me because they can’t convince anyone that I’m necessary job is flying me out of town to do consulting work for the Nashville office. Why? Because nobody at the Nashville office has my experience doing the work that I do. They have at least 4 people with job titles and descriptions that, at least when put together, match what they want me to do, but they can’t manage. And of course I’ve neglected to ask for any extra money or anything, as I’m just a big walking vagina. I’m going to try to man up and grab my scrotum enough tomorrow to talk to the director about it – my last attempt to talk to him about money got me nowhere, really, so I’m not really that sure anything will come of it. But hopefully I’ll at least try.
What I didn’t know when I agreed to go to Nashville was that Mikey would be coming home on Wednesday. Having not seen the kid for more than 5 months, I’m really pissed that when he finally gets out I won’t even be around to hang out with him until Sunday at the earliest. Regret.

So I get back Friday night at like 9. Since I’m helping with some moving on Saturday, I won’t even be able to go back home. Moving Saturday morning/afternoon, then off to an indoor football game Saturday night.

Wake up Sunday (hopefully pretty early – because….) and drive back to Sarasota to go to the pig roast/kickball tournament. Gin and Tonic is apparently coming back to life, so I figure I should go out there and do my part for drinking and running. Come home, take a nap, and perhaps finally get to see Mikey again.

Then work till Wednesday and off to Key West for a 4-day weekend (including Cinco de Mayo AND Derby Day).

Interesting and full – yes.
