The koolaid drinkers in the two major parties. I don't see the GOP choosing someone who can actually govern. The Dems don't get that Hillary isn't trusted so won't considered by independents. Bush and Clinton are both party establishment insider candidates who are unattractive to the over-all electorate. The other GOP candidates appear to be simply terrible people. I don't see an optimistic message coming from anybody. This country has a great strength in its diverse people but the two old parties don't mobilize that.

On the other hand, the two parties in Congress FINALLY showed that they can do their jobs by passing a two year budget. It's not the budget I would have made, but at least they came up with it together.

Trying to reorganize 7000+ pictures may be a real chore.
Looks like I had already copied the lion's share of the images on a couple other occasions and I was able to track those copies down from different laptops and external drives. I would up only had to deal with 132 files out of the 6,000 or so that had been recovered and renamed and all jumbled up. So I manually renamed all 132 files to their original names and now have all 6,000 images organized and copied in a few locations.

This has made clear that I need to do some image organization. Haven't done any since 2013. My system had been to create folders for each date that I took pictures and drag those pictures into those folders. But I haven't done that since mid 2013 and all the images since then are scattered all over in folders I've given random names to. I must still have a copy of everything somewhere, but can't be sure until I see it all organized.

Remember when Minifob smashed the shit out of the back of his skull two months ago? Well it's no longer swollen, but when he got a haircut recently we discovered that there is now a bald spot there, though there was never any trauma to the skin. I guess it was swollen for so long the follicles died? I hope they come back, because the dang thing is a full centimeter in diameter.

NO. No centimeter. He's an American, a red white and blue Texan no less.

ouch.

Anyway its out for dinner and music with Pete's work friend and her husband tonight. I want to like humans but I prefer them in their natural environments so everyone knows what role to inhabit. Ah the holidays, so much bullshit. "Smiles everyone."

Interesting, Dan has one as well. I never thought about why. There was no trauma where his is either.

I'm making this anon...in the case of just in cases.

Mostly I need to get this out because I am so nervous I can barely keep from barfing.

I have a job interview today with a place I used to work. A bit 'less' than my old job but better I think in terms of responsibilities. I like both my jobs now but between the two my schedule is crazy and I'm so tired of being tired. And I need health insurance.

So I wonder if they're just giving me a courtesy interview. I left there on good terms so I figure it's either a courtesy interview (like trying to get a significant other to take you back after you left them) or they're happy because there will be so much less training.

I'm trying to just look at it as "I have a job(s) either way" but I'm more nervous than I've been for an interview in a long time. Every detail is making me ill. Even, IF for some reason it worked out, how to tell them here. Because I know of one person who will be pretty darn unhappy with me.

But it's my life right? No one has come forward to share my life and all the expenses and troubles therein...I have to look out for myself. Right?

Good luck, anon. It absolutely is your life and you have to do what you have to do. If your current job needs you that bad, they can pay you to stay.

Your schedule is the crazy right now. And you absolutely need to look out for yourself on this.
