The Spiderweb of Fate

That's how life is at the moment. It's a spiderweb of fate just spinning every which way, and I'm not sure where it's gonna end up. I've had interviews, more job postings, and I'm still posting, looking for something. I haven't heard anything back from the EPA, which is starting to make me wonder what's going on with them. I need to contact Joyce Bender and find out what happened to that as well as Marcie work that end. As far as the room is concerned, I finally moved into my place and that's been an epic battle since I've been here. Turns out the place is totally inaccessible. It's 10 inches off the ground, in the basement, it floods, there's bugs everywhere and to top it off, it's 2 miles from the Metro. But. I've managed to work most of that out. My dad built a makeshift ramp over the weekend with Julia so that fixes that problem. But they were seriously irking my nerve. I wanted them to come down and have a good time and the whole time my mom was complaining about the area, about the people, and everything in between. Granted, we did see a woman holding out her breast on the street for passersby, but still. She acts like she's never been around black folk before. It's just been a long time since she's been in that situation. Anyway, I'm here now and as long as I can make it work, it should be okay. In other news, I have to get rid of that scooter. It's just way too big. I took it to work yesterday, and that was a mistake. I couldn't get in my cubicle, or the bathroom. Not resturant or anything. It's annoying the crap out of me. But...I found a way out of that dilemma. Turns out my co-worker Mario Damiani who's also in a power wheelchair, wants my scooter to do outside ventures and in return he has a three wheel scooter that's brand new that he's never used. So it's practically an equal trade. That will be awesome to get a smaller scooter, then I could do all the sight seeing I wanted without having to worry about the size, or at least not as much. But anyway, yeah that was good. I managed to get the lights, water, and gas together, and they're turning that on tomorrow. It'll be good to cook. Then my place will be complete. Now, I just need someone to come visit...lol.
