Birthdays – Page 7 – Dispatches from Blogblivion

To Barbara Alice Kierstead, my first cousin once removed, who is 65 today.

To periodic blogger Donnie, last known to be at Cadillac Tight.

To celevrity and sometime blogger Pat Sajak, whose blog seems to be gone.

To Hillary Clinton, who is 61 today.

To my niece Michelle, who is 16 today. She always seems older to me than she actually is at a given time.

To blogger Denny Wilson, who notes that this is also St. Crispin’s Day.

I got me a job.

I start Tuesday at 1 AM for a seasonal, part time package handler job in a local distribution center. Normally it’ll be 3 AM to 8 AM, peaking starting a little earlier, and usually ending earlier when it’s not peak. Preferably I can stay after 8 AM if there’s an emergency, like a truck delayed by traffic. I’d expect that to be rare, and hope we can handle it by Deb having some flexibility and/or being able to bundle the kids to someone, or have someone run down to watch them for a little while.

Ironically, they called while I was taking the kids to hang out with Sharon and their cousins while I did a one-shot spot of computer work worth about three days of package handling.

It’ll help. Plus the structure, exercise, and if I land something else I may be able to keep it and just be extra busy for the last bit of the year. If it really works out, there’s a chance of it going past the season. We’ll see, as it’s a rough, cannon fodder kind of job. Being slightly less worried about money for a while will help. It’s incredibly annoying to be in situations like right now, where I can afford $29 to have the car inspected, but that leaves a buck to buy and mount the two 14″ tires it needs.

Kids are making unpromising sounds in the other room. Off I go…
