kyburgDoing the math and realizing that I will have aged out of the China program if I wait for them to send a referral, based on the current rate referrals are being done. They're only getting through one week of LIDs per calendar month - they're over 60 weeks out from our LID. That's over five and a half years to wait - called the agency, and got "well, they can't continue a program that way. It has to start speeding up sometime."
o_O?
Dude, I'm turning 48 this year. They shut the door on me after I turn 50.
How does NEVER sound?
Yeah, I got another call in to the founder of the agency. Time to set some deadlines.
It doesn't help that the department has had three babies this summer - all to wives of guys I work with.
Oh, and the boss got married. She already has a son - so there you go.
I'd like a wife. She could have taken the computer to the shop, and then cleaned up the office so we could both use the other computer in there. (I had to reorganize a bookcase, reshelve books, dust - and redust the desk several times - discover that the circuit breaker had been tripped, fix that....) - and maybe I could actually, I dunno, WRITE DRAW SEW SING something besides trying to figure out how the bleep to get the debt levels under control without living on Costco hot dogs three meals a day.
And keep going in circles. The same circles. Daily.
HELLO HIGH WATER MARK THIS IS IT
No, I really can't think about living child-free the rest of my life. There's no thinking to do. This has BEEN my life so far - and just getting older? Wow. You can hear the boredom now, right? I'd start buying a spot in an assisted living center, except who wants that to look forward to?
No wonder I spend so much time playing Sims. I can at least watch somebody having a life.
