Better

[susandennis]

I actually feel better tonight than I have in a while. No clue why. But, I'm not arguing.

I got the most hilarious and fun surprise from some LJ friends today. I may be smiling for a while on this one.

I'm reading a book entitled Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers -- by Mary Roach. It's really fascinating.

The Mariners have reverted back to their losing ways - 8th inning, Texas 10 and Mariners 2. Sigh.

And... it's cooling off just a little bit - or I'm getting used to it. Either way is fine.

Was this what the package was about? I note that the post is missing now.

The package was a special surprise package of lip balm from LJ friends.

I had to stop checking the Ms score last night after it was looking bad in the 7th. For real, dudes, you guys rock. How can you suck so much this season?

As to the book, I think I ordered Stiff. I'm not sure when it gets here, but it's good to know someone else is reading it and that it's interesting.

I keep thinking they are going to snap out of it but the snapping out of it window is quickly shutting down. Last night was pure 2004. They couldn't find the ball. They couldn't field the ball. They could hit the ball. I suspect it wasn't even fun for Texas. ARUGH.

But, on the up side... I read some more of Stiff last night and it is GREAT. The author is very clever and witty and it is, indeed, really really intersting. And I generally don't even enjoy non-fiction.

Nice to hear the terrible heat is abating. Here it's weird, at home this morning it's overcast and probable in the 50s or low 60s, an hour later and 50 miles south there's not a cloud in the sky and the temperature is rapidly climbing towards the 80s or 90s. I couldn't live in San Jose.

How's the job market in Seattle?

I moved to San Jose (Morgan Hill, actually) in May. Bought a condo. Did fine until August when it got really hot and I decided to turn on the air conditioner. I looked everywhere and couldn't find the controls. So I called my realtor who was a great guy and a friend. "So... where's the a/c in this place?" He said "A/C? You don't have A/C!" "How in the FUCK could you sell me a whole Freakin condo without AIR CONDITIONING???!!!!" I think he's still laughing at me.

Seattle jobs. Depends on who you ask. We still have a very healthy (maybe the highest) unemployment rate. But, statistics/smastistics. There are jobs available for people with skills. And, even without a whole lotta skills, I've never had a difficult time finding a good sit down job that does not involve a drive thru window.
