Well, Shit.
They've cut the department hours to 35/week. I won't turn down the opportunity to get another hour of sleep every day, but that means I will look for a second job, or a better first job.

Okay, I'll admit it...
The new job is growing on me. The thing I liked about working at Amsterdam Print (besides Francis) was that it was EASY. I've been given a couple more responsibilities, and that prevents boredom.
Not allowed to listen to music, though. It's a small bummer.
The early hours are killing me, but it's soooooooo worth it.

Lame Job
Good grief, it feels like being at Amsterdam Print all over again.
So far, the job is ridiculously easy. My biggest problem is that 85% of the time, they use Quark XPress instead of Adobe InDesign. Having CS4 is pretty nice, though. The place is kind of a hole, now that I've seen more of it.
The people there are nice, but that's really it. There isn't anyone I could see myself hanging out with.
On the plus side, there's a deli/cafe that sells all the great organic & fair trade chocolate bars.

New Job
Some of you already know, but I've neglected the blog. Last Tuesday I had an interview. I must have bullshitted just enough for them to hire me. I start this Tuesday.
It's in a huge printing plant in DUMBO, Brooklyn. The hours are 8 to 4:30. This will probably be the death of me, regarding sleep, but it'll be worth it.
The pay is about the same. There is less vacation time. However, there aren't any pay deductions for health insurance.

Children of Alcoholics Week
From Dr Tian Dayton, c/o Huffington Post:
"It's "Children of Alcoholics Week" so this blog is dedicated to anyone, of any age, who has lived with addiction and the emotional extremes, chaos and dysfunction that it engenders. One of the strange phenomena of living with dysfunction and pain as a child is that the effects of it can surface much later, even in adulthood. This is because of what's known as a post traumatic stress reaction in which long after the stressor is removed, in this case alcoholic or abusive parents, we live with the effects of it in our lives and relationships our relationships, particularly our intimate relationships."

It's the end of my job as we know it...
And I feel fine.
Friday the 30th is my last day, and there's two weeks severance.

Crappy New Year!
I'm re-re-re-installing Windows. Bad net connection, so it's just my phone until the roommie gets back to deal with Time Warner.
Rassafrackin' technology.

15 minutes or less
My therapist ordered that this post be written in that short amount of time without editing, so here goes:
1) Began mending fences with my sister.
2) A girl I had a MAJOR crush on in high school has been in a couple of porn movies. Her implants look awful, but then, they look bad on everyone.
3) Maternal grandmother is going senile. She's 88 and in an assisted living/retirement home.
4) Paternal grandmother isn't that much better at 87.
5) Explaining technology to old people is a waste of time.
6) Sleeping pills are a necessity here.
Yeah. It sucks. Two days left. But at least my phone has better web reception here than it does in NYC.
(14 minutes.)
