Friday I worked eight hours straight without taking a break and spent seven of those hours under various planes, reaching up into their delicate plane guts and playing with the fuses. I came home covered in dirt and grease and dead spiders and what I think may have been an owl pellet, and all I could think was
I really really like my job!
at least until the next day when every muscle in my upper back was screaming in protest. Even then, I'd say my job appreciation was higher than average.
I wish I didn't have to find a new one, but I can't get health insurance through my current job and my choices have been 1) work full time and make enough to pay the bills but not enough to afford insurance (though several preexisting conditions make this a moot point) or 2) work part time so that Medicaid will cover me.
Needless to say I'm very happy about the health care bill passing, even if it won't come into effect soon enough to be helpful with my current situation.
BUT, I think this might be a good thing! I need to meet new people! I really like my current coworkers, but they're all middle-aged men, and I am kind of not a middle-aged man. Also, all of my local friends are married couples, and I am also not a married couple. This isn't anything new, but I've sort of been noticing it more of late. It makes me feel terribly isolated and lonely.
So what do I do when I'm feeling lonely? I post on the internet. But not to Craigslist. Because I still have hope.
