Another day, another job rejection in Colorado Springs. But the over-the-phone interview I had on Monday with a Randstad recruiter in Missouri has led to another appointment in Austin, TX next Wednesday. At this point I have to move- even if the Texas offer wasn't valid, I don't have enough money or unemployment to keep residing in that motel on the west side of Colorado Springs. So much for attempt #4 to live here. I should know by the middle of next week where I might be working or living. When I do figure out when the Sandy evacuation odyssey from Rockaway ends, I'll resume posting here.

And it's Lent now, which means I had no food on Wednesday and must abstain from meat every Friday until after Easter. I wonder if giving up life in your hometown qualifies as giving up something for Lent? But then 2000 years ago, people were giving up their livelihoods, their families, their homes for something greater- and got ridiculed, arrested, tortured, beheaded, and crucified for it.

As of later this afternoon, the home office for this blog (and this blogger) will be in Sheephead Bay, Brooklyn. Considering most of the novel I'm writing takes place in that part of Brooklyn, maybe I can get more inspiration in my bigger residence and finish the damn thing.

But now, I'm going to be closer to 2 major supermarkets (and my former parish of St. Mark's) than I will be to a non-street cleaning block. But the car finally got inspected yesterday, so now I can spend the rest of this day moving and running up the fuel bill and EZ-Pass.
