anutter day, hay hay!!
well! howdee do!! i started this diatribe earlier this morning, at the employment office, where you can get an hour of free innernet, but the servers there kept throwing us off!! so i left, now, im at the library!!

i got my associates guide that tells all about how to work at macy's, and its a rather big book, with lotsa pictures and illustrations!! hehee!! good stuff there!! my laundry is going at connections, so, im back pack free this morning, which is great; and yesterday, i made an appointment to see my case manager at connections for alternative housing. i dunno what is in store for that, i will find out this afternoon. it probabaly will be a waste of time.

meanwhile, life at the mission continues, with a bomb being dropped by the mission at dawns early light!

when they turned the lights on at the usual time, 5:15 AM, (known as the ass-crack of dawn) IMMEDIATELY IT WAS ANNOUNCED, as we were crawling up off the mats on the floor, that unless YOU HAD A JOB AND CAN PROVE IT, (a) you will have to wait until 6 AM to sign up for a mat, and (b) if you DONT have a job, you might not be able to sign up for a mat at all!!! there was a lot of cussing and grumbling going on, I was able to sign up for a mat without waiting til 6 am, cause i have a job! but they guy gave me an employment verification sheet to have my boss fill out; fat chance on that, im NOT letting ANYONE at macys know im staying at the mission!!! fuk dat! so i just filled it out myself with the pertinent details, and put the HR asst. name and telephone number on it so when i turn it in later on, they can call, and she will tell them that yes im employed there, but she (the HR gal) wont be able to put a face with the name) and thats that! i will still be able to sign up for a mat BEFORE 6 am! the line was like it is at night waiting for dinner, down the side of the building, and around the corner! some folks will not be able to get in tonight! if it aint one thing, its another! if i had the $5 a night to spend for an actual bed at the better mission down the block, the one that gives you an actual bed, and feeds much better, i would gladly stay there, so i have to make do with what i got!

i met up with john, my coffee drinking pal who stays at the better mission, and he was wondering where everyone was, and i told him of the bomb the mission dropped this morning, they didnt say anything last night at the chapel service, but thats how they operate; everything is said and done at the last second! sheesh!

things are getting done albeit slowly, but i believe that within a month, i will have the $350 bux ready (i hope) to rent a sleeping room i seen an ad for in the weekly, room no cooking, bath down the hall, $350 a month.

i got money coming in, NEXT WEEK; i got money from the hot dog gig at the stadium thats about 20-50 bux, depending upon what the check will be and the tips this coming sunday; then next friday will be my 1st macys check about 70 bux or so, but thats just for starters, im gonna have to rustle up at least close to 40 hours if i can, to get enough money together to get a room, AND if there is a room to rent by the time i get the cash, in that price range!

if ya havent noticed, i have some new widgets under Elvis here on the right hand side; theres a dealie that tells you how many folks are reading and one where it tells you where folks are coming from; theres a digital clock showing the time, its a lil hard to see, its in black, but if you scroll the page you will see it, then at the bottom right of the page is coffee news, called coffeelicious! all the widgets are clickable, and will take ya to where they came from, so you can get your own widgets if ya wanna!! they are free, and its an easy copy the code and paste it into your page!

i got my 1st christmas card from my pal, Gianna Razi!!! (waves hiya!!!!) she sent it to me snail mail, and it was uplifting, and homemade!! thanks, sweety, i appreciate it!!! wheeeee!!!

if ya feel the holiday spirit, and wanna send me some cards, email me like she did, and i will tell ya the snail mail goodness!!!

well, thats all the crap i have from here!! what say ye? comment linky at the bottom here, as usual!!! hava toasty roasty day!! and just 8 daze til turkey day!! wheeeeeee!!
