August 14 I'm backDon't know if I said this, but just after we moved in with my mom, The Boy broke her computer. Yes, indeed. Busted the screen on her nice laptop. The computer geeks at Radio Shack said it couldn't be fixed. Broken beyond all repair. Best to just buy a new computer. So, we hooked up my POS for a bit. Good grief!!! Anyway, that sort of explains my long absence. That and the fact that until very recently, I have been fighting with The Boy about his abuse of the fact that my mom has internet. Read this as "I couldn't get him off and it was really starting to make both me and my mom very irritated."
Anyway, I came home from work today and to my surprise (sort of), Mom bought a new Dell. I had to get it set up because...well, let's just say that my mom is not the most computer literate person in the world. Even I had problems with the speakers on it. Did you know that it helps to locate the on/off switch on the speakers themselves to get sound to come out of them? Damn, you learn something new everyday.
 So, I am back and will try to post more often and keep you abreast of what is happening in my life. Right now, there isn't much to tell. I was hired on permanently at the pharmacy where I trained. The pharmacist I trained under passed away just before I completed all of my hours. Luckily, his father and brother are also pharmacists and they helped me finish my training and hired me to work more or less full time. I'm having a tough time finding my own place to live. Housing is tight here and expensive. I thought Salt Lake was expensive, but holy shit. Down the road they have small two bedroom apartments available for rent, but they want $1000.00 a month for them. Believe me I saw these apartments and I wouldn't give them $500.00 a month for them.
I miss Salt Lake terribly. I wish I had never left, but at the time I was desperate and I needed to be with family. I hope that someday I can return and hopefully things will be better. Comments (2)
