New Guy got himself signed up with a temp agency and starts his first job tonight. It’s just a 2-week gig, but hopefully he’ll get more assignments after this one. The main downside is the shift is 4 PM - 2 AM, 7 days per week, so basically I’ll see him weekday mornings when he’s driving me to work, and … in the middle of the night 😉 if I wake up when he gets home, I guess. Fingers crossed that this job goes well, and additional appendages if available for future jobs to come, please. We both need this to work out, for a huge number of reasons. ---

I’ve decided that there is no way in hell I’ll ever be one of those crazy survivalists. If the end of the world comes in a comet or nuclear war or zombies, I’m just going to kill myself. I’ll never stock up on food, never stock up on gas or learn how to use a generator, or buy a gun. I don’t want to live in a world without modern comforts, shitting in a hole and burying it and boiling river water to drink and sleeping with one eye open so that nobody will kill you in your sleep. Civilization or nothing! ---

Nemo, I would be shocked–:eek:_SHOCKED!_:eek:–to learn alcohol had been involved in the bad parking job at your parents’ house. > [@YogSosoth](#): > > Reading the book Lucifer’s Hammer I liked the part where the guy surfed into a skyscraper. Oldest Sister just texted me and said she’d be in town this Friday. We are going to try to meet up somewhere. I think I may have committed to A Charity Event after irk that day, but it shouldn’t take too long. I think I’m going to write another story tonight. I’ve got one rattling around my braincase that wants to come out. ---

Dindin is ingested. We also went over to see Barbara for a bit. She, her daughter, and s-i-l are leavin’ tomorrow for Pensacola, where Barbara and Harry are from, and where the funeral will be held on Firday. I plan on makin’ dindin for her when she gets back as that’s when she’d probably appreciate it most. **Yog** , because of you I feel the urge to reread _Lucifer’s Hammer_. > [@anyrose](#): > > I’m with you, all the way.

Last day in FL has been a chilly one, and we’re in the hard freeze zone tonight. Leaving tomorrow will not be particularly pleasant till the car warms up. \*\*FCD \*\*survived his teaching stint in the middle school - they told daughter’s classes that he was her son. 😃 He’s back now, relaxing after a yummy supper of bean soup and peach cobbler. This time tomorrow, we should be home. I hope… Have I mentioned how much I hate I-95??? ---

It’s cold out so Ima go snuggle down under my blanky and watch teevee until sleepy time which, though I know it’s early yet, might not be too far from now. I’s tahrd and feelin’ a little sleepified. Nitey Nite Y’all! ---

Is it just me imagining things, or does it seem like everyone else on this board is better-off than me? So many people have decent jobs and enough money to live on, a really nice house, etc. etc. Too mundane and pointless to start my own thread, so I shared it here. Well, back to whatever it was I was doing. ---

**Emily** , truth be known, there are some well off folks here, but then again, a lot of us are on tight budgets or struggling. Here’s hoping that you find your finances looking up in the coming year. ---
