Dogs And Cats Living Together......Mass Hysteria!!!

Ten bucks if you can name the film that the quote is from.*

My life has been that as of late. My living situation is really no further along than it was a week ago. Although, I am gonna look at another trailer house tomorrow, so things are looking up (pink flamingos here I come!!!).

I also talked to my future boss on Monday. We were supposed to talk about my contract and other assorted issues related to my employment. Basically I got nowhere. We interviewed a technician, and then spent a grand total of about 20 minutes going over a couple of issues of the clinic. He told me that he wants to discuss my contract in the next "week or so." The clinic is gonna open in about 5-6 weeks, so methinks it's a bit late for that.

So now I'm in the process of writing an email going over my take on the situation. He is planning on paying me a salary that we decided on about a year and a half ago. Well, that salary would entail me in taking a $25,000 pay cut from what I'm making now. I will get the opportunity to make a bonus in the long run, and I think that the bonus will be quite substantial in the future. But for now, that doesn't do me any good. If I take the package as is, then I will be in the red about $800-$1200 each month. Not a good way to prosper in this here world.

Many thanks to those of you out there that have/are helping me in this endeavor.

As I once told Annie when we first started dating, "I'm not boring, just so you know." Neither is my life. Is that supposed to be a good thing?

Now I have multiple options for living, and also employment. If I piss off "The Man With The Plan" (i.e. my future boss) then I can continue doing relief work and not skip a beat. Or I can take one of the 2 offers that I have for other full-time work.

Ch-ch-changes.

So, to sum up:

I still don't have .....
1) a place to live, even though I've spent about 4 days total over the last week looking at places
2) a contract that I can go by for my future employment
3) a 100% guarantee of full-time employment at the place that I have thought I would work at for the last year and a half.
4) a clue as to why I'm such a tall drink of water.

But, I do have......
1) a "horse-like" appendage (Just in case you were wondering.)

Keep on keepin' on.


* I won't actually give anybody $10, but the answer is "Ghostbusters."
