Schools across Middle Tennessee closed today because someone thought they heard there was snow in Memphis. It was all a big hoax. None of the white stuff is around. They did this because everyone was spooked from the blizzard earlier this year. That type of blizzard only happens once every 10 years. Otherwise snow in the south is just like this: non existant.
Another school day wasted. But what do I care. I’ve been wasting days since September. “Why haven’t you gotten a job yet?” Realistically I probably should have. Realistically I’d probably be digging ditches or something. That’s not something I want to do. Maybe I don’t want to waste my life away in a cubicle working for THE MAN.
Everyone and their brother has my resume. Do I really need to call and bug them for a job?
No call backs. No requests for interviews. Until something turns around in the economy – we have a war or something – I might as well not even bother looking. To those of you who have a job, be thankful.
I delivered food to the shut-ins from church today. Good deed for the day. Maybe it will help me to get into heaven or something.
Things I learned today:

• Old people don’t answer the door. Well, they don’t exactly hear the door sometimes.
• Shut in’s are happy to receive visitors. Hence the name, “shut-in,” which in part has a negative connation to it. Perhaps the less offensive “Homebound” should be used instead. Shut-ins are always happy to see visitors. Sometimes they want you to stay and visit for a while. “Are you still in school?” Nope, been out for 6 years now, but that’s beside the point. If I look younger than I am, I guess that’s a compliment, in some kind of different sort of way.

Speaking of which, I got a Time Magazine offer in the mail. “Senior Citizen’s discount.” Wooohooo! When I’m not trying to fool AOL-Time Warner into thinking I’m someone over 65, I am reading the magazine. Skimming through it at least. Ever since Yahoo Internet Life went away, magazines have been not as good. YIL was good. Introduced me to weblogging. Told me about the wonders of Blogger.com, which in turn introduced me to Movable Type.
Then YIL’s unused subscription turned into Entertainment Weekly….or shall I say “Entertainment Weakly.” Rarely do I get reasonable information out of that rag. Kinda like “Entertainment Tonight” in printed form. Maybe I should subscribe to Wired or some other nerdy magazine.
