dum de dum. so as i approach the end of my second week of re-employment i sit and wonder how long this one's gonna last. have a few doubts, i'll admit, but i'm gonna give it the old college try. the most disturbing thing i've noticed of late, short of a persistent cough that won't seem to go away, is that my enthusiasm for the pit is waning. possibly from the lack of daily mutual interest in my exploits, or from a drastically reduced schedule, or from not having anything really kewl to go to ... but somethin's killin' the buzz. and that sucks. i'd hate to think i was growing up again finally. in the meantime, i'm still learning spanish, practicing a little more diligently, and still driving a rental car while the jeep has its rear end replaced. miss the cd player something fierece. i'm a little concerned about next week as i transfer to the swing shift and what that will all entail, but i'm at least a lot more confident about it than i was a week ago. two months ... promised myself to stick it out that long and see what happens.  at least if i leave or and asked to leave, this time there'll be no sad feelings, lol. 

was listening to al sharpton on the way home tonight and his speech at the dnc. gotta say i was impressed. odd after thinking he was such a jerk all these years. go figure. and bush keeps looking worse and worse and worse and worse, but for some reason some people still love him. that deserves a bigger go figure.
