Down On Ferry Farm

This will probably be the least interesting post I’ve done in quite some time. I only say that because there’s really nothing going on. I still haven’t found a job. I still haven’t found love. I don’t even have a good rant to go on. Really, the only thing to complain about is the lack of TV. We should be knee-deep into the second half of the season and there is nothing but reality and reruns on. Daytime TV is terrible unless you like talk shows, soap operas, infomercials or Lifetime television movies. I am in none of these categories. I told you this would be bad. I tried to warn you.

Makes me laugh just looking at it:

I feel like I’m getting closer to a job. I got a call from a potential employer today. My sleep pattern was totally blown and they called while I was napping. Not to sound mean but I could barely understand the guy who was asking me the questions. From his accent I would say he was Spanish or Portuguese. Some of the questions were a little redundant, too. The reason I don’t like getting these calls is that I immediately start imagining I have the job. I start picturing in my head the things I’m going to do once I’m hired. The problem is that I’ve done this with ‘nibbles’ before and get a bit of an empty feeling when they don’t come through. Such is my lot in life, I suppose. I hate getting those stereotypical questions, “why did you leave your last job?” (Especially since I was let-go), “What are your strengths?”, “What are your weaknesses?” etc. I have my ‘pat’ answers ready to go so the trick is trying to sound sincere. I’m starving so I’m going to eat something now.

I have recently begun to question some of my long-held beliefs. For years I thought something was true and it turns out now I was wrong all these years. I don’t need to get into specifics; I just wanted to relay that concept to you. I begin to question my own sanity. How could I have missed the signals that – whatever it was – is now true? Why didn’t anyone point out the fact that I was wrong all this time? These are not opinions of mine, but facts. I just don’t understand. It’s also interesting to me to see someone’s opinion questioned. They are so sure their opinion is the correct one they can’t stand it when someone says something contradictory. “I think blue widgets are the greatest widgets ever made”, someone will say. “Well, I think that green widgets are the best ever”, another will admit. You know what? It’s an opinion – don’t treat it like it’s a fact that no one can dispute. It’s just how we feel – it’s not real. In fact, opinions can change. It’s okay if your opinion about s

I happened to check the last blog posting I had done and I was positive I had written one in the New Year. This was not the case, so here goes: Well, it’s a different year and things are starting to pick up on the job front. I seem to be getting more calls. All of them have been the “getting more information” type calls. They usually end with the caller either saying “this job is not for you” or “we’ll get back to you in the next couple of days”. At the same time it is both encouraging and disheartening. DubDub and I went on a ‘date’ this evening. We went do a very nice seafood place with absolutely incredible food. She got the stuffed flounder and I had the rockfish. I don’t recall if I’ve ever had rockfish or if it’s just been a long time. Either way, I liked it. While we were waiting for our table (about 20 minutes – well worth the wait) there was a little drama at the bar. There were three young ladies sitting at the end of the bar that ‘appeared’ to be paying their tab and leaving
