Doing lots accomplishing little:

Had no success getting thru to the MARVIN computer on the Unemployment phone thingy. It kept telling me to check the book to see what day I was supposed to call. Um, today! Then I was on hold for the better part of the afternoon trying to talk to an actual person, but of course my cell phone died before I could reach one. So Fie yet again! I will try again tomorrow, but failing that I guess I will just no tget the damn unemployment because I don't know what else to do. I'm so fucking depressed i can barely get out of bed as it is.

I can honestly tell you that not one single thing has gone right since I lost my job, and I am rapidly losing my ability to deal with it. The only thing I have managed to do right is keep from getting drunk and popping pills or whatever. I could be doing that, but I'm not...and so far that's the best thing I can say about myself right now.

We're getting together Saturday night for Dan Russell's birthday. We're having waffle bar. Do catch up with me if you can bring something.

Is anyone else having trouble with Yahoomail?

I've been there before and you know what? I am glad that you didn't pop a bunch of vicoden and wash it down with a 40. Why? a)you're my friend and that would concern me. b)if you're as depressed as you've been sounding then you have accomplished some logical thinking and self control. It sux that things aren't wroking out for you - from what I hear unemployment and assistance offices tend to involve lots of little stupid annoying steps that take forever. Try calling credit card companies (to repair your credit) from a payphone (it's fun!). It sounds like you're doing the best you can and I do realize it's TOTALLY frustrating to get thru to people. I think the Child Support Enforcemnt Agency of OH is completely run by machines. I've talked with my caseworker four times (lucky for me he stayed for a full year!) and it is damn difficult to get ahold of him. He's good when I can talk to him tho so that's cool. I hope that when you do get ahold of someone you'll be able to show that you're doing the best that you can. It's horrible that all this shit came down on you like this: you guys (Madstoners) were totally caught off guard and it's really messed things up for you. You've totally got positive thoughts coming your way from me.

I always appreciate your encouragement.

I find myself increasingly frustrated with the amount of "businesses" where one can't talk to a person without waiting an hour. and then they have the nerve to pretend it's so we can have better service. Fie!

I'm doing okay though, no need to worry. I just had a ton of venting I needed to get off my chest. Not that there's a lot of extra room on my chest to begin with...

No kidding. With those knockers I don't know how you fit all that venting.

Maybe my advanced Tetris skills make it so I can fit a lot more stuff in a confined space...

and that is a very good best thing to say. i'm proud of you.

Thanks. I was actually being a tad dramatic, as i don't routinely get drunk and pop pills. I think I just need to remind myself of the "fun" things I'm not doing just so i can feel like I'm maintaining some control over my life.

I'm feeling like things are so out of my control right now.
