Nugget's Salvage, Inc.

I've got absolutely nothing today. I got up early this morning to go to a job fair. It was a grueling morning of selling myself, sucking up, and being phony. Things weren't altogether bad, but it wasn't exactly the way that I wanted to spend my Saturday morning. You've gotta do what you gotta do.

I was supposed to play poker this afternoon, but I chickened out at the last minute. It was a $50 buy-in so that was a big factor, but the key to my decision was that there were supposed to be 30+ players. The prize breakdown was 50% to the winner and 25% to second place. The money was good, but finishing first or second is a pretty tall order with 30 players, and I didn't feel like throwing away 50 bucks. I'm sure that it would have been a fun afternoon and a great time, but I just didn't feel like I could justify it.

Instead, I had a 2pm breakfast. I was embarrassed by the fact that I had planned to pay with a credit card, but found out that they only accepted cash: Moochy moochy. When I arrived home, I was planning to go upstairs and paint, but instead had a three and a half hour nap. How lazy is that?

I watched the Leafs get stomped out of playoff contention, and now I've decided that the only way that I can really salvage this afternoon and evening is to actually go upstairs and paint for a while. It's not glamourous and it certainly isn’t the best way to spend my last Saturday of unemployment, but that's the way it's got to be.
