Jan 15 - The Ides Are Out To Get Me

From my current Twitter stream:

  • 07:39 the street outside is white with salt and it's 12. Welcome to February? #
  • 08:09 Er... make that January. Though we've hit the Ides, so I suppose I can claim to be rounding up. #
  • 08:52 is contemplating applying for a Census job. #
  • 09:47 wonders how to celebrate More Joy Day #
  • 10:32 Expected wait on hold for Unemployment Services: 32 minutes. #
  • 10:33 This is still better than when they told you to call back the next day, as they were doing a couple weeks ago.... #
  • 11:03 Unemployment update: am now on hold for another department, expected wait is... 23 minutes! #
  • 11:40 more hold time at Unemployment #
  • 11:45 Finally got to leave a message for someone. Who is supposed to get back to me. #
  • 12:59 Unemployment guy is supposed to make a determination by tomorrow? SIGH #
  • 14:17 made followup appt with PCP next Thursday. Go me! #
  • 16:22 @chickwriter -- from the pictures of people standing on the wings, here's hoping there's little loss of life! #
  • 17:48 is so glad to hear that the first reports are correct and everyone on the plane in the Hudson got out OK! Congrats to the pilots! #
  • 19:35 reading through Census employment practice test #


Oy, dealing with capital-B Bureaucracy is so tough for me, especially when you can only call in on two days a week, since I've been out of town and rather ::koff:: preocuppied with holiday, family, and sickness issues. So taking up the struggle again, because my eligibility is STILL not cleared up, the Section 30 extension needs some sort of sign-off and its still.dragging.on.

On the brighter side, I'm seriously considering trying out for a Census Taker job, which would get me out into the neighborhoods. Although, I'm expecting competition will be fierce this year....

They only take phone calls two days a week? That would make things difficult.

FYI, I'm thinking about going to Arisia on Saturday, but since there's apparently a good chance of them hitting their membership cap, I'm not sure what that means for the Saturday-only membership that I haven't bought yet.
