My day so far has sort of been like Dr. Who and a Dalek---bit of zap and a bang.

The zap: my electric installment plan is reinstated...I'll owe on 7th of October, 89 dollars as opposed to 724 dollars.

Couldn't get my cheque or the food or anything, because the boss isn't in today, like she'd said she'd be. Try again tommorrow, I guess.

And for the bang: the hotel job may have been a bit of a bust---I apply for a full-time position, get offered (MAYBE) a part-time position, a few days a week--not good. Will know more tommorrrow afternoon, but I'd say Hamption Inn for me, is likely a Hampton Out. Not many places left to apply to, now the season's nearly done. I'm going to try just two more places--tried everyone else.

So, while the Dalek of life that was menacing my electrical service got zapped...

...yours truly is about to get sucked into the big old VOID of unemployment and homelessness...and there's no Doctor or Pete or anti-gravity thingys to grab onto...just have to bow my head down and hope for the best...keep slugging away with the applications and hope for an honest-to-God miracle...and, as I've mentioned previously..I don't believe in miracles.

Sooo--anyhow, think I need some more fresh air. I believe in a little while, I'll head down to the cruise boat dock down to town and go for a walk along the waterfront...they've a nice little garden all tucked away near there, quiet spot, where I can go and look at the flowers and maybe forget my troubles for a bit...the healing power of nature is a very real and tangible thing, you know...even if it's only for a little bit. Between my new-found friends, nature and Dr. Who, maybe I can find a way of wading throught the quicksand that's my life.
