I don’t know if we are still doing freewrite friday anymore. Looks like we all took a break from it last week. But I am going to continue to do it in case others are still doing it as well.
We write for five minutes as free association, or stream of consciousness. For those of you who have trouble finding a timer, I have been using this timer for a long time for many different things. It’s totally web-based, and will count up or down, with a ding at the end. I love it!
—————————————————-FREEWRITE ON—————————————————-
So I am sitting here having a twit conversation with Jester. He’s out of work. I am out of work. I went on an interview that has three parts to it; I can do it, I just don’t know if I WANT to do it. My family is from Beaumont, TX. It’s right near Vidor, the US KKK headquarters, where that guy James whatever got dragged behind a car and was beheaded. Anyhoo, that’s where all the oil companies are, and of course, they are doing well. I have always gravitated toward industries that are doing well; I like to take advantage of that. I work in business intelligence, which really means taking data and making it available to executives in pretty formats like colored charts and stuff. That way they can make decisions. Every large organization has one of these types of departments. I am going to go to Houston for a KBR (Kellog Brown and Root) job fair. My brother works for KBR again. They are looking for PMs, but I don’t want to be a PM. I am hoping to convince them that they need to hire me for their BI environment. I am also working with Exxon. I sent them a bunch of questions on their data warehouse consolidation endeavors, so that I odn’t have to take that fucking job writing business objects reports. That would be like, ten steps down from where I am, and I would ahve to move for relatively little money to the hell pit called Houston. I guess I am ready for a change again. I swore I would never want to move again, but the thought of going to a smaller town, albeit Beaumont from hell, would be a good change. Smaller town, full of rednecks AND and it’s FUCKING EAST TEXAS. I dont’ know if you guys know how much I HATE east texas. I mean, I HATE IT. I want to give it to Louisiana, but they won’t take it. Go figure, with all the Katrina fucking victims.
Anyhoo, am feeling better. Doctor put me on a second anti-depressant to compensate for the lack of working on the other part. Bad Grammar. Sorry. Anyway, I still think it is due to this birth control thing. Some people thought it was a bad idea to go that route right now, but it wasn’t for birth control. My hormones are totally out of whack, and I am not ready to get the full uterine ablation right now. So the implant makes my life easier. Plus, it’s not like depoprovera where I can’t take it out if it causes problems. It’s this little three inch plastic thing that sticks in my arm. It lasts for three years. Cool, huh? I am hoping the depression is from no job and that fucking bastard Edward, or wahtever his name is. I proimsed Avi I would tell him the story. I know others want to know too, so I am going to put the story in the comments on my last post about my depression.
AND WHEN IS CNN HN GOING TO GO HIGH DEF? IT PISSES ME OFF!

Hey now — I did Freewrite Friday last week! I was looking around for anyone else who did it — and couldn’t find anyone. I gave props to you for at least mentioning that you were preempting it. It’s like it just got up one morning and skipped town…
I think the Norplant (I think that’s what it’s called?) is a better direction than Depo shots because of the reversibility. My wife had discussions with her doctor about the hormonal balance issues with certain types of birth control, and that was the main issue with Depo, as it stays within your system for a while. I really hope this works out for you.
As for the job thing: It looks like you’re hyper-qualified in a job market that’s affected by the economy. I hope something agreeable works out for you soon.
As for CNN HD? The notion of seeing every single brown spot on Larry King’s face and head kind of frightens me…

Shiny:
Thanks for the props and the compliment on the skills. I appreciate it. Yeah, the economy sucks here in Dallas. Looks like I am going to have to move for a job YET again. But I am resigned to this and have come to terms with it. Maybe it’s good; maybe I need another break. I am just so tired of moving. Maybe I will take a vacation. I think I really need one; kinda like “How Stella got her groove back.”
Fab:
Yeah. I do. I am tired of HN not being in Hi-Def. They should have been the FIRST to go that route. Bastards!
Robin:
Yup, I am master of the intellect universe. Second only to Stephen Hawkings. Nah, I just know my particular industry. Jack of all trades, master of none.

As a resident of Central Louisiana, I would like to go on record as being totally against you giving us any part of Texas.
LOL!

DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT. And LA is so much like East Texas. Think of all the land and the expansion of KKK members you would get.
Come on man. You know you want to say something!
