I Only Appear Lazy.

It's 11:30 in the morning, and I'm still drinking coffee. I was thinking of going to the driving range today, but it rained for a number of hours last night and it's still gloomy outside.

I think I have a job, but I haven't received a formal offer. I found out yesterday that I can barely afford to take the job, so I might still be unemployed. See, the job is in a city that takes me almost two hours to get to, and relocation is a necessity anyway because I have to take call once or twice a month. Problem is, I don't know how to relocate and be my family's sole provider for $15K less than my last job.

This gets me thinking about what I should have done and didn't do. I should have finished an engineering degree and stayed in Colorado. I think of reasons every day why we should have stayed. Today's reason: "There are no mosquitoes on the golf courses in Colorado." This probably isn't very accurate, but there are certainly fewer mosquitoes and other creatures on the courses there than there are here. I can't think of why Augusta is so popular other than its scenery in the fall.

So I'm making no plans for my every day, other than playing Halo (trying to finish under normal difficulty) and hitting practice balls in the yard. I'm lazy, and I really don't want to go to work, but I don't want to sit around all day, either. I've really got to get out and do something, but I must wait on people to get around to looking at my resume and qualifications. I think that's about all I can do right now.

This is still more fun than working for FLDoE.
