Teh Interwebz, we almost haz 'em

Knology is coming by Monday to hook up dsl. I'm keeping my hopes up that it can happen in one visit.
Instead of being on the internet I've been playing Crash Bandicoot: "Crash of the Titans"... beat the game last night. It's definitely easier than the earlier PS1 Crash games.
I'm at my sister's using her wifi. Walked the dogs earlier, my laptop has been performing a full system scan for over an hour. Want it to be ready for Tuesday. Been trying to use the library wifi and even went to Krystal (all stores have free wifi)... but have been having trouble staying connected. No trouble here at my sisters'... but at the library it's catch as catch can.
Not too much trouble at the main library, just the nearest branch... it's a tiny branch. It's next to the Public Safety Academy which reminds me of Citizen's Police Academy. Which I miss terribly.
I'm on my ninth step .... remembering a lot of people I owe money to. I cant' pay them all back, or any of them at this time, but I can be willing to make amends wherever possible.
Not much motiviation to write much ... but just wanted to post a little bit to remind myself that I did promise myself to document this early sobriety.
Struggling at work... we had a meeting. In the meeting I vocalized my displeasure with not getting any tips from the servers. My boss said something that made me think he was going to make them tip out but.. .it's not happening. It has made me very upset, and I have been working on accepting that which I cannot change. I tried to change it, but since I can't, I have to accept it.
I have an interview at the county jail on Tuesday. For kitchen worker. I'd be very happy to have a county job. I'd like to buy some stuff for my room and try to settle in like a real person. Saw an antique wardrobe at the Salvation Army... it's only ninety bucks, but I can't afford that.
Anyhow, if I do get a real job I'll buy a computer desk and a wardrobe and a nightstand and a side table for the lazy boy.
Maybe some drapes.
And have some of my photos blown up and put on the walls. Perhaps get some art supplies and do some art for my own walls.
I'd like to...like to buy an oxy-act. welding set-up and do some welding. We do have the room for the equipment and a big back yard. I could make a welding stall out of paving stone.
It's a happy thought.
For today, Saturday, I'm tired. Busy as hell at work... and no one tipped me. My back is tired, my legs are tired, and I just want to cry. It's a hell of a hard job for such little pay... but perhaps that will change soon. For now, it is what it is.
I got my hearing tested last week, and the hearing aids will soon be on their way to my place. If I don't get the job with the jail, voc rehab is going to help me get a job at Lowe's or Home Depot or some such.
At any rate I'll have the hearing aids... will be nice to hear again.
Too tired to think.
