escape to insanity

Ok… so… it's past three o'clock in the morning, and I'm dead tired. I've been awake since about 8am. That would be eight o'clock in the morning, yesterday. I'm only marginally awake. Believe me, when I say marginally awake, I mean it. Look at that over there. I'm fighting to keep my eyes open, and there's your proof. Ain't I a looker at 3:46 in the AM? I'm about to crash into my bed and lose consciousness for a few hours of sweet sweet sleep, but I figured I may as well post some updates while I'm here.

Because I know you care.

First up, the reason I'm still awake at this ungodly hour after being awake since early yesterday. I just got back from… drumroll please… Spider-Man 3. And holy crap. Holy… freakin'… crap. Fantastic. I've still got goosebumps after that one; the midnight showing was definitely worth it. Venom, Sandman, the second Green Goblin, and Spidey. What a fantastic movie… I won't spill any and ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it. I've just still got the picture of Venom in my head. Ok, enough rambling about that. More later, maybe.

Make that probably.

The other recent development came earlier in the evening. As evidenced by a previous post, I've been unemployed since early in March. March 9th, if I recall correctly. Today is now technically May 4th, I think. I'm pretty sure. I interviewed earlier for a job with a very prestigious company… I wasn't sure how it went at first, and was ready to put it out of my mind if needed.

That wasn't needed.

At about 9pm, shortly before we were about to head out for a night that culminated in Spider-Man bliss, my cellphone rang. I recognized the number — it was the staffing recruiter that had scrounged up the interview for me. I couldn't fathom why he would be calling me at nine o'clock at night; the only thing I could come up with was that I probably hadn't gotten the job and he was calling to break the news.

How wrong I was.

So now… as of this coming Monday the 7th, I'll be rejoining the workforce. I'll be making my semi-triumphant return to the ranks of the employed after a two-month hiatus. Sweet! I'll be doing the long daily commute again, but that'll only be for a few weeks until I move much closer more permanently. Then it'll be only about a twenty-minute drive, which will be nice now that gas is up to $3.29 a gallon. I was thinking about pre-emptively selling off my first-born child just to make sure I can fill up my tank next week. The joke'll be on them when they realize I don't plan on having kids… whatever will they do then? Bwahahahaha.

Ok, I can tell it's time for me to go to bed when I start using 'Bwahahahahaha' in posts. So au revoir, g'night, sweet dreams, whatever you want to hear. It's been a long day, but it's been good. Finally, things are starting to come around.
