Manuel Labor.......Ah Screw It

Yesterday I worked in my parents backyard again. I planted another 200 or so plants, and unloaded another truckload of dirt. Fun, fun, fun.

Last night, the girl I've been dating, my brother, and I went to downtown Ft. Worth and saw Reckless Kelly play. Twas very cool to see them play again. I think it's been over a year since I'd seen them. The cool thing was that it was free. That's right, it was free. Nifty.

I finally got some more veterinary-related work lined up for the rest of the month. Thank God. Now I'll have a grand total of 12 shifts for the month of April (about 2-3 shifts shy of my goal for number of shifts each month) . The first 6 days were from April 1-20, meaning the last 10 days of April are going to be interesting. Here is my schedule, including today.

20th: Work in North Dallas
21st: Off, go to Rangers Game
22nd: Work in SPCA shelter - spays and neuters. about 40 of them.
23rd: off
24th: Work in North Dallas
25th: Drive 350 miles to Beaumont with 2 large dogs.
26-28h: Work in Beaumont. Get off at 5-6 PM and drive the 6 hours back home.
29th: Get up and work in Arlington, after sleeping about 6 hours and being tired hell from the Friday extravaganza.

Gonna be interesting.

Today my agent called me with work for May. I got a few more days booked, but here is the kicker. Every day that I'll be in Oregon helping Cameltoes move, I could have had shifts to work. EVERY DAY. Here I've spent the first 20 days of April with little work, and the first full week in May is WIDE OPEN, and I get offered work when I won't even be in the same state. It's unbelievable. Really. Thanks a lot Murphy's Law.

I still haven't played poker in quite a while. I'm not even really going through withdrawals pangs either. Odd, I know. I really need to buckle down and grind some more crypto bonuses out before the month ends. I'm a bit worried about the Sun Poker site, as I still haven't received my PIN number from them, and I even emailed them about the problem. They told me that they'd mail it out and I'd get it shortly. I still don't have it, and I'm a bit concerned because you can't take out any $ without it. Not cool.

Keep on keepin' on. And keep on rockin' in a free world, and all that jazz.
