Saturday... not in a park....

Today.. the trackball on my Blackberry decided it didn't want to work when I rolled it to the right. I fiddle with it. I used a can of air to see there was just a bit of dirt. No luck.

I went to the Verizon store and lady laughed when I said I was hoping for some Blackberry first aid. She magically popped the trackball out, slapped in a new one and handed it back to me. I thought they'd grumble about warranty or cost or something, but no.. just a five second fix.

Plan B seems to be taking shape. I am not at all sure about if I want to do it. The pros are simple... it's basically something I've done before and the pay is much more consistent with upside. The con is.. well, it's still a ton of stuff to learn. I mean, a disturbing amount of miscellaneous info to learn.

I imagine I'll do it.

The twist in all of this.. is that I'm suddenly looking to be on target for my numbers at my current job. A total twist of fate.. and not at all due to my own prospecting. That's really the rub with the job... one must always be digging for someone to talk to and I just don't like that. Just not my style. But being on track makes me wonder if I could somehow do it.. make it work out. Then I remember.. that being on track for my numbers is really their goal for what I need to do, not my goal for what I'd need to pay my bills and well, that's kind of that. Still, the pros to job are many. Work when you want... as much as you want.. it really is running your own business.

There's an appeal there, but... I just don't think it's a fit. I really just don't have the activity needed for the gig. Perhaps if I were ten years younger...

I switched foods for Kali and Loca and I think I've been feeding them too much.. Kali is like 10lbs now, which isn't fat, but well.. she's noticeably bigger. I like small cats. Loca's like 7 pounds. The worry with feeding less is that Kali will simply eat Loca's share.

I'm still seeing M even I muddle through what to do work-wise. We are both basically broke, so there's not much in the way of doing things. And, on that note, I really need to re-review expenses if I don't go with Plan B. Cuts will need to be made, cuts I don't want to do.

While my brother was deployed, we were trading sporadic emails.. he's been home for a few weeks and nothing. I guess we are back to not talking.

It's little wonder I have issues with relationships!
