Well, where do I start. Let's start with last night. Bean and I went to the Rangers/Twins game last night. So I bust my arse to get home, change clothes, and eat, so we can hopefully make it to the game on time. We hit the road and it's looking like we just might make it for the 1st pitch. And then Murphy's Law struck. I locked my keys in my truck.
I thought about my options. I could call the locksmith now, and probably miss most, if not all of the game. Or I could watch the game and call the locksmith after the game, and wait forever for them to get there.
I chose Door #1. The dude got there pretty quickly, and over an hour later and my wallet $50 lighter, we went to the game. I bought the cheap seats at $6 each, since the stadium was about 1/3 full. We managed to sit in the upper deck, right behind home plate (which are about $17 seats, I think). We missed 4.5 innings of the game, and we got to see Johan Santana work his magic on the Rangers by only allowing 1 ER, and striking out 13. Needless to say, he made the Rangers look retarded.
On the working man front, things are going pretty well. They are a heckuva lot better than a couple of weeks ago. I've got a large chunk of the computer software down, and on Friday, I've got an over-the-phone training session with the software people. It should be just swell.
Business remains remarkably slow. We are seeing about an average of 1.35 patients/day. Or something like that, since I haven't actually calculated out the number. I mainly just sit here in front of the computer, answer the phones, and try to get as much of the software stuff done as I can.
This morning, I had a bit of a rush when 2 people came in about 15 minutes apart! I was sweating, let me tell ya. But, I can't complain, I guess. At least I'm not the actual owner of this here joint, so I ain't sweatin' it. I'm also trying to get my contract finalized, after working here for about 3.5 weeks.
I also just found out that I have to work from 1-6 on Memorial Day. Major bummer. No es bueno.
I'm still a homeless man, for those of you that were wondering. I'm gonna look at an apartment that sits right smack dab in the middle of Whitetrashville. Hey, it's cheap, so don't knock a brotha. I hope that it works out because it will save me about $150-$200/month in rent. Not bad. Plus it's only about 20 minutes to work, and about 15-20 minutes from my beloved Bean.
Keep on keepin' on.
