Sailor Steve

Well, it finally happened: my lousy luck with jobs crossed paths with my apartment rent. I thought I would get a last minute reprieve when I lined up a job driving deliveries for a bakery, but when I went to get a copy of my driving record I found my license had been suspended. They sent me letters saying they needed paperwork from the Veterans' Administration, but they sent them to my old address.

I spent a lonely, boring frustrating day yesterday walking around town doing nothing, since everything was closed but Wal-Mart. I even spent a few hours there just hanging out.

For the time being I'm staying at the local Rescue Mission. The good news is there are day-labor places close by, where you work for a day and get paid the same day. The bad news is I couldn't work yesterday because they too were closed, I couldn't work today because I still had paperwork to take care of and Friday I have to go to the VA for a checkup to see if I can get my license back. Tomorrow I get to work and earn money, and hopefully Saturday as well.

The worst part in all this is that I can't play SHIII for the forseeable future.
