Wonderful Days!


Yesterday I wrote a thing that seemed pretty negative for the way I'm overall feeling. While my nights might not be so interesting, my days have been some of the most awesome days of my late life.

Plus, my nights have been pretty awesome, if not somewhat out of control.

I've been going to my usual coffeeshop in the morning and doing my work for my two teaching jobs. This has been par for the course for several years now. The difference is that some of the work has dried up a bit, so, at times, there is not so much work to do.

Then, as soon as I'm done, I head over to my new job. I can't remember if I ever got a chance to complain or whine here before that I thought, awhile back, that if my schoolwork didn't pick up, I was going to have to find some other line of work. Believe me, I do not know how to find work, and I can prove it. I joined Linkedin.

I worked on my resume with my buddy Joel's help. And then, when I finally got it all down to where, at least, it was readable, Joel offered me a job, or some work with his company. Computer Writing Manuals People Inc. Have I talked about Joel? How he's always either saving my life, lending me money, feeding me, driving me around, reading my manuscripts, giving me guitarist/singer/trumpeter jobs in his band, and just all-around bucking me the fuck up? I think I've mentioned him before, or, if you're local, you may know him. He's a legend.

Anyway, this job. I go to work just a few blocks from my house. It's in a beautiful part of my beautiful neighborhood. The weather is always magnificent where I work. The people are always friendly. The office is sweet, and incredibly quiet! Everybody wears giant headphones! They seems to be filmmakers and writers. I know some of them are filmmakers and writers. Me and Joel are computer writing manuals people.

The thing is, I am having a good time having something to do all day. The job is challenging, but I think I can fit myself into it. Joel is helpful. We go to wonderful, relaxed and sometimes work oriented lunches. I can work off of my own schedule, basically. As long as I'm putting in the hours and getting some tasty results. I walk to and from work and I am happy to be going there. It is just a wicky weird feeling.

Did I mention that the Computers Manuals People pay me money as if I worked for them? I hope to use this money (however long it lasts) to buy some sort of vehicle. Like either a motorcycle or an airplane. Or a boogie board!

Anyway: work at the moment: awesome. Which, from what I hear, can make a huge difference in your outlook.


And that really is all I got to say about trees.


Wait! I make music! And that's been pretty good, too.

  1. Yea, great music--about important things like pork sandwiches and underwear--that causes new moms to go out to bars alone on Sunday nights!
