Re-Employed, Pt. 3
After spending most of the morning taking a test for the US Census Bureau (which is enough to make you want to stick that perfectly sharpened No. 2 pencil right in your eyeball), I resigned to my fate, climbed in my Jeep and started to head home. On the way, I stopped and put a resumé in at the local Christian radio station (SHUT UP, DYLAN)… and while I sat in the parking lot I flipped through a local employment newspaper. There in the back, in itty-bitty writing, was an ad for a Production Artist with spot color separation experience.
“I can do that with my eyes closed,” I thought. Just for the hell of it, I called the number. Two hours later I had the job.
Seriously, why do I allow myself fall into these monster panic attacks? D likes to point out that yesterday was a holiday, so all the movers and shakers would be missing. (It’s very annoying how much he’s always right. Now he thinks I might start LISTENING to him or something.) In all honesty, I’ve been very happy to have him around… his calming presence is consistent and comforting. And as much as I hate logic, he keeps shoving it into my life.
Me, not living moment to moment on an emotional roller coaster?
Maybe this could be a GOOD thing.

Honestly, I don’t know you or anything, but, really, the idea of you not living in a panic seems foreign to me.
But, you know, congratulations and all that.
