Still here

Well.  I had no idea I did not post at all in October.  Since my last post,  I still did not get a job, the hated Phillies won the World Series and we have a new President all set to go.  And he looks like he might be a good one.  

That’s right, people, I am still unemployed.  I am starting to think there is something really wrong with me and/or my resume.   My last interview seemed to go well but I didn’t get the job.   All the HR person would say was that he chose someone else, no feedback, no nothing.   I am with a new temp agency who seem to be lively so maybe something will come up there.

I did the unbearable and took some money from my IRA.  I don’t care what Suze with the bad haircut says… when you have to live today, you can’t worry about 20 years from now.   Out of options and out of money.  No one to  borrow from and while my mother would be thrilled to have me move back home my sanity would not survive.  I love her dearly but she is hard to live with.   For one thing she complains about my BIL a lot, how my sister raises the Crown Prince, etc, etc.  What she expects me to do about any of it is not clear.  They seem pretty happy to me.

The boyfriend — my sweet sweet baboo — is coming for Thanksgiving dinner.  He has resisted meeting my family for 2 years but the time has come. He will be meeting 16 relatives.  He is feeling faint already.  I can hardly blame him.  I am looking forward to it though.  He is such a wonderful guy and I am very proud of him so it will be nice to share him with my family.   He will get some extra good nookie out of the deal later on.  It’s a win-win thing.  

I am super glad that this election is over and that the President Elect is being all presidential like already.  I am not sure about Hil for Secy of State.  Oh,  I think she is more than qualified.  But Bill, God love him, sometimes has connections and dealings that while certainly not seemingly illegal don’t come across well.  And does the new president need some Clinton poop backing up on him later?   And you know when you get one you get the other.   And they do add their own special drama to any occasion.  

Politics has certainly become more fun.

And politicians will become more fun when they get some of us back to work.

The baseball off season has been a snoozer so far.  My Mets have not done anything yet.  I suppose the action will really start at the winter meetings.   The needs list is long.  It would be a shame to go to our new baseball palace with the same stinking bullpen…. 

I am looking forward to Thanksgiving.  Aside from the boyfriend coming, it is my favorite holiday.  I get to see people, eat some of my favorite foods and not have to shop for anything.   What is better?

This year went by fast.   It has not been a good one for a lot of people.  Many people are in worse shape than me.  We can only hope that next year brings better things to light.

Happy Thanksgiving!
