3…2…1…Dr.Tran
It’s that that ladies and gentlemen for the list of bad things that have happened this week. You might ask yourself “How long could this possibly be?”. Well why don’t you pull up a chair, make yourself a hot beverage and listen to the bitching I am about to lay down.
1. Mom had to return to the hospital. You think it is routine to occasionally have to show up there when you are going through Chemo. She was there for about 4 days. Apparently her leg was starting to swell up, and it turned out that she had blood clots in her leg. She will need to take medication for it for the next 9 months. Even with insurance there is a bit of money owed for meds and the hospital stay.
2. Our Television died. It had been acting weird lately and finally it just stopped turning on. My parents decided that another TV is necessary (personally I don’t think we need one) so they put in more money for another television. Another big screen with HD*. More money my family has spent this week.
3. My car battery died. Once again something that has been threatening to happen for some time. The -3 degree weather finally put a nail in that coffin. More money to be spent on replacing it. Plus an entire day wasted at the Wal-Mart waiting for the garage to put in the battery. Wal-Mart is inefficient and the employees are soulless automatons in a machine that has cogs running in opposite directions.
4. My cat has an abscess. It would be a very simple thing (albiet more money) except that during treatment the cat is carcinogenic, so she has to stay at the vet for 4 days (equals even MORE money!)
This has all added up into an expensive headache for my family. We have had enough troubles thank you very much and we would thank to universe to stop taking a dump in our pool. My birthday is in two week and I don’t need anymore reason to dread this time of year than I already have.
On the plus side school is now over. My finals are done. However it appears that the whole school thing was wasted. TMCC no longer offers a certificate program for grant writing. All of the other majors they have available that are worth anything (job wise) require a level of Math so beyond me that I would be in school until I was a little old man. So I will not be continuing on with my school. For the time being I will be concentrating on selling myself in both DJ and gaming projects hopefully making a large enough name for myself that I can get a constant stream of independent contracts. So very soon there will be an info page on this very site letting you know what gigs I am doing and when. Look for it soon! I will be coming to a record store and giving out Hot Dickings!
I’ll just be passing them out.
Hot!….
(screams)
DICKINGS!
* HD is the largest waste of technology I can think of. The only thing that looks good in HD is documentaries about very very pretty countries. Ones with lots of snowy mountains and lush greenery. Otherwise you just see blemishes on actors you may have once thought were attractive.
