Yes, but try telling that to the electric company.

Heh.

Well, I have managed to get health insurace, at the cost of over half of my paycheck from the school. Since I'm only teaching one class, this is not as bad as it sounds; since I haven't found another job yet, this is very very bad.

I have applied for at least 14 jobs, and have been contacted by nobody. I have inadvertently memorized all of my employment history, references' information, and drivers license number. While I'm enjoying the free time (the time not spent searching out and uselessly applying for jobs), the anxiety of unemployment is taking its toll. A couple nights ago, for example, I had a dream that blocks of the world were falling to the floor and I could see the nothingness behind them. Also, I seem to be grinding my teeth in my sleep, which seems like a suitable reaction to the world falling apart, but it leaves my teeth twanging and my jaw aching. I'm pretty calm about all this during daylight hours, so it's gotta go somewhere else.

We ran out of shower soap and bought some "Relaxing" stuff, but unless popping the little tiny "hydrating beads" is relaxing and not insanely neurotic, it's not working.
