The bliss, the agony, the blah blah

Last Friday I said goodbye to yet another job and hello to a month of bumming around. Today is my official fourth day of bummin' and it's been fun my friends. Monday for instance, I took blatant advantage of the fact that I no longer have to get up at the ungodly hour of 8 AM to go to work (my workaholic friends may gasp here at the unbelievable laziness and self-indulgence of author) and I slept in until 11 AM!! Admittedly, this is okay for a day or two, but even I really couldn't justify such waste of time on a daily basis. Today I got up at the more reasonable but still indulgent hour of 9.

And off I packed my booty to the gym for an hour of kickboxing with Seigfred. It was intense. I was drenched, and I mean, sopping wet with sweat just 30 minutes into the class. I had on this tight red jumpsuit of sorts which outlines my skinny silhouette to disturbing precision. I watched myself in the mirror, shaking my ineffectual fists, pumping the air, left hook, right hook, the image of Oliver in all its absurdity comes to mind. If I had a little more meat to my bones, my punches and kicks would look less ridiculous and a little more substantial.

In any case, it was a great workout and I left the class feeling glad to be alive.

Now however, I am stuck in computer troubleshooting hell and it's like an endless loop. All I had to do was install a simple driver for a new hp printer my aunt bought and it sounds simple enough. However a 10 minute routine job turns into a 2 hour ordeal and still counting. I suspect, after the umpteenth time of cursing at the computer screen to no great avail that the usb connection I'm using is a piece of crap and the root of all problems. Either that or HP just makes really crappy drivers.

Ugggh...anyway, this blog is a vain attempt on my end to maintain some semblance of sanity, which is currently being shredded to microscopic threads by good ol' nonfunctional technology.
