Your Day

innerspaceboy · 05-07-2023, 09:15 AM

It's a good day. I took myself out antiquing twice and at each event found extra special items for friends and family. One of my oldest friend from back in my home town's wife has a Ghostbusters shrine in their home, and I spotted 1/6 scale replica figures of all four at a comics show, and he was wondering what to get her for her 40th birthday next week so it was a perfect find. He drove out to my city to pick them up and we went out to brunch.

Then antiquing this morning I found a Lucy Show Barbie mint in box that my mother was hunting for, so that came home as well.

I tried attending a regional meetup event last night, but it was in a really loud concert space with 10 live heavy metal bands - not my forte so I headed home early. But the event was a fundraiser for the homeless so at least I could contribute to the cause.

Tomorrow is an appointment to fill my scripts. The doc doesn't accept Medicaid so each 8-minute session costs me several hundred dollars plus the cost of my 3-month supplies. But at least it's not an unexpected event so I've been planning for it.

Writing that music article the other day was the highlight of my week - surprise inspiration is always welcome.

I'm puttering around the home quietly to finish out the weekend, hoping my background check at the VA passes and they offer me the job real soon.

Wait a min. Will you be working at Castle Point VA or Montrose? You don't have to answer publicly you can shoot me a DM.

I'm in so much pain at the moment with a severe toothache. I tried to see my dentist Friday but he called out and I have an appointment Tuesday. I was in so much pain Saturday that I went to the VA urgent care to get some stuff for pain management to hold me over until it's time.

If an alien race were to ever capture me and demand I take them to The King of Nerds, I will direct them immediately to you.

I'm bored so I just Googled news for human cloning and the first article I saw was titled, Harvesting Clones to Live Forever Is Monstrous, and I'm like, brave stance, guys. But the very next article was, Human CLONES purposely grown to give people 'spare parts' like hearts, lungs and livers could be the key to living forever, expert claims, so I guess I forgot what ****ing species I was talking about.

Friends, I'm pleased to share that I have really good news for a change on my career front.

I've just received confirmation that I've been hired as a Federal employee for the position I'd applied for back on Jan 20 to work as a Claims Examiner for the Veterans Benefits Administration.

My start date is June 5. (The day my benefits expire!)

It will be challenging, but I'm going to do my very best to master the new role.

Great, ISB, we're all rooting for you

Good luck in your new job! Being out of work when you still need a steady income can be a nerve-wracking experience. Glad you found employment.

I forget if I've mentioned this here, but Andrew Lincoln has been filming the new Waking Dead spin-off in the area for the last few months and has been coming in during his free time and buying some records. He's probably been in close to ten times.

Anyway, he was in today and hung out for about 45 minutes and not even five minutes after he left, a dude comes in that I know and starts talking to me about TV and movies. He's telling me how he can't commit to these long ass shows anymore since he got sucked into The Walking Dead and it turned into a piece of sh*t towards the end.

I was like, "Dude, do you realize how f*cking close you were to trash talking The Walking Dead wilt LITERALLY RICK GRIMES IN THE F*CKING STORE!?"

We were dying. Imagine if that happened?
