I have a job interview at a zoo. I don't go until August 12, so I have plenty of time to prepare for this one. I'm going to buy new interview clothes
(as I said in the other topic) and get another haircut. I got a haircut right after I was laid off from the glass company to look nicer on interviews, but
it's already gotten too long and uncontrollable again. My hair grows really fast.

Damn, I didn't wake up until almost noon today. Part of it might have been the cats waking me up with their vomiting. Also around 3 AM, I woke up feeling
terrible. I think it was too hot in here, so I had to run the A/C for a bit. I also didn't get much sleep the previous night, and I hadn't caught up
(until now).
According to FO, Caramel was with me for a bit when I was sleeping this morning. |

So my mouse hasn't been working quite right. The clicking would seem to be really unreliable and I'd get a lot of false double clicks. So I ordered a
replacement online. But then today the mouse seemed to register the scroll wheel as always rolling, which made the PC almost unusable because everything kept
scrolling to the top of the page. I got a good deal at Radio Shack, but I don't think I can return the one I bought online when it gets here. Anyway,
that's my exciting life.

I thought I was working Sunday and Tuesday this coming week, but I checked the schedule today to see that I have a three day weekend! Awesome!
I never usually have more than a day off at a time because working Saturday gets me a random weekday off.

We hung out with my brother tonight. We brought over Pepper, too. Pepper wasn't too happy in the car (FO took her out of the carrier on the drive, at
least), but she was very good when she got there. She's incredibly well-behaved, and gets along with any other cats, so long as they don't bother her
first.
I also finally got him to watch "A Fistful of Dollars", which is one of my personal favorites, and I thought it'd be right up his alley. I think he liked it.

I got a good deal at Radio Shack, but I don't think I can return the one I bought online when it gets here. Anyway, that's my exciting life. The Radio Shack mouse is already not working right. The scroll wheel is all jittery now. I probably use the scroll wheel more than most, but come on. I doubt that I have the receipt and I know I don't have the box, so I guess I'll just keep that as an emergency mouse. I pity the future me that might have to use a mouse without a proper scroll wheel, though. That poor guy. Damn. So far the replacement is fine. It's identical to the first one that broke last month, so I know I'll probably only get 6 months or so out of it. My options are limited and prices are high because I have to get wireless mice. Otherwise my cat will eat the cord faster than the mouse will naturally wear out.

Hmm. I know those old ball mice wore out, but I haven't had any trouble with optical ones that I can recall. The one I got for my laptop I got at a
University bookstore for less than $10, I think. Then again, I don't use that one that much. I mostly used it when I was playing Desktop Tower Defense,
because using a laptop built-in pad was hell on my hands with that game.
I HOPE our computer cords are safe with cats. I think that the mouse cord goes behind a desk would help with that. I notice, though, that sometimes Mel does bite at some cords when she's actually sitting on top of me. |

I just ate at Wendy's for the first time. Ever.
Yeah, that's pretty weird, isn't it?

Not until recently.
There's always been a McDonald's closer than anything else, and if we wanted slightly better tasting fast food, we'd drive the extra little ways to Burger King. At some point in the past couple years, they built a Wendy's that's just about a half a mile further away from the BK. Curiosity never really won out, though. But Wendy's had some new items on the 99 cent menu, so I decided to check it out. We got Crispy Chicken and Double Stacks. It was pretty decent. Like nearly every food there is, it was better than McDonald's. And while the flame broiled taste of the burgers can be good sometimes, I've kind of grown tired of BK over the years. There's an awesome burger place (I guess Northeast US exclusive?) called Five Guys Burgers and Fries, which I would probably eat every day if not for the fact that I would be dead in weeks, and that it's pretty expensive.

My grandmother lived in a small town, and I think Wendy's might have been the only fast food burger place there for a while. Even that must have been
fairly new (less than 25 years old, maybe); it was off the highway rather than in town. By now I think there's a McDonalds not too far away, but I still
don't think there's a Burger King, or Arbys.
I also think that it's possible it only has local pizza places. Off the top of my head, it had one that was local to the town, and one that is based in this state but has quite a few locations around it, in different cities. On the other hand, where I live now, the pizza market seems oversaturated. I'll bet there are over 30 pizza places here.

I have the sniffles. I hope I'm not coming down with something.

It's been a fairly lame vacation week. Started out okay, but around late Wednesday I started experiencing some major sinus issues that have been coming and
going all week. Also around that day we started getting a series of coastal storms that put half the island underwater and closed one of the two main bridges
out. Yeah, not unlike this pleasant day in 2008. Except for like three
straight days now. I mean I don't exactly go out that much, but this was pretty annoying.

We did an unusually long walk tonight. We even saw the Wanderer wandering about! Plus, we saw a whole bunch of other kitties.
The people in this neighborhood really get into Halloween! I've never seen a neighborhood that decorates much for Halloween before, but some houses here have almost as much stuff as places do for Christmas. One place had two inflatable globes, 4 or 5 feet high, with paper "bats" flying around inside. One had a castle inside. And they had these big spiderwebs around their bushes, with huge inflatable spiders on them. A lot of places around here have mock graveyards. I think those are cool. I wanted to have something like that when I was a kid. I wonder if the people around here really just get into Halloween, or decorating in general, and if around Christmas they'll have a lot of decorations for that. |

FO and I walked around the block after work, before dinner. We saw a toad hopping around in a yard!
