I just filled out an application for a job as an engineer of the mechanical flavour for a company in the area, the job notice was sent to me by Monster. After years of emptiness, I’m once again feeling like I can do things of this nature. Like Odysseus, I’m back on the seas heading home to Ithaca after being marooned on the Isle of the Whiskey Peddlers for seven years. I am indeed working on a contract job, and I intend to fulfill my obligations but the timing might be right to apply for this one and others, especially if the current contracting employer has no intention of offering me a full time position.
It feels great to wake up an hour before the alarm clock goes off with creative ideas bubbling to the surface of my brain again. I miss that from working for CyberMotion; it started the day with a great feeling, a feeling of purpose. Checklist: Go mash the coffee maker button; get dressed, put in the contacts; feed the WonderDogs; take meds and eat; prep lunch and pack; hit the road. And when I get to work, top off the coffee flagon and get to work.
I really miss my co-workers, and my peeps at the likker store; but most of my co-workers (and I, when I was there) felt like we were always waiting for Godot, all but Alia, who has plans for her future! Go, woman! Go forth and experience, and excel~! Ah, yout’.
Today is the monthly beer club meeting day. I’m taking corn pudding casserole, a recipe that Trish found on the back of a Jiffy product box and which is MOST EXCELLENT! And store-bought beer, Pecan Harvest Ale, which I read about some time ago and saw last night when I was looking for a ‘host beer’ to take to the meeting. It is “made with real Louisiana pecans that have been toasted to perfection.” Only 5% ABV, a ‘session beer’, but one that I hope will please the palate. And why am I taking store bought beer you ask? Because I have finally consumed or given away the last of my home brew… the last to Cap’n Eddie, of previous Blog fame.
Next week: we brew again!
