You’d think a guy with as much experience at being rejected as I do would be better at it than I am. However, it’s more like being allergic to something. It upsets me more easily sometimes. Yesterday I got my formal rejection email about the job I most recently applied for. And today my co-worker told me he was probably going to take the job that we both applied for and that I actually wanted. He’s being rewarded for doing absolutely nothing for a year while I worked my ass doing things I thought were ridiculous. Life’s fair like that.<\/p>\n

My mom’s leg still hurts and when my sister came over this morning she noticed that the area where she fell on was hard, so I called the doctor again today, a day after I last called him. His medical assistant was an awful shrew, yelling at me, “I TOLD YOU YESTERDAY THAT THE DOCTOR SAID IT WOULD TAKE A LONG TIME TO GET BETTER. ONLY CALL IF IT GETS HOT TO THE TOUCH.” The tenure of a Medical Assistant is usually quite short and I hope she’s gone soon.<\/p>\n

Additionally, I kind of felt like I’m coming down with a cold.<\/p>\n

But I suppose it’s not all bad today. A few months ago my friend Sun sent me some cookies from Amai Tea & Bake House and one of the cans was full of crushed cookies. Well, the owner of Amai, Kelli, saw my comment and sent me a new tin of cookies and they’re fine!<\/p>\n

Also, I got this weird USB microscope when I was in Japan from Thanko, or the Raremono Store<\/a>. I had it out earlier to look in my ear and today I decided I should try getting it running in English instead of Japanese. I haven’t gotten it to work on my Mac yet, but I found the driver on Vimicro’s web site<\/a>. I got it to work by downloading the camera detector<\/a> from the same site. Here’s a video of my teeth<\/a>. It doesn’t seem to work quite right on my Mac and obviously, I need to floss.<\/p>\n

I really need to find a new job.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
