well, i am gainfully employed. it's not the job i wanted (in fact, it's already one i'd turned down), but it is a job nonetheless. on the plus side, it will give me a full time position while still leaving a four day weekend. on the down side, i have to work thirteen hour days the other three. actually, that's fine by me. i won't say that i'm thrilled about the chance to sling java again, but i will admit to having missed the feeling of getting a good rhythym going on an espresso machine. the pay is better than most coffee jobs i've had, and the guy who owns the place understands that i'm not looking to work there forever, just until i get my footing for a job back in the booze biz.
rationalization aside, i need to be working. this nothing to do everyday but go to the park with jack while watching our money slowly dwindle is getting old.
