I somehow managed to go even longer since the last post than I did before it. Months have gone by. I'm barely the same man. Back in February, I was just talking about my plans for Louisville. I got down here to find almost all of them had fallen through. Jay did come through in the end, though.
I am now officially a boiler room operator. I work at the Hazelwood Center, a local hospital specializing in the long-term care of the mentally and frequently physically disabled. The hospital is run by the State, so I can take advantage of the inherent inefficiency of the government. Evidently they have to fire a lot of people who do this job, but I listened to the reasons why each before me got sacked. I am the ideal candidate for this job. I work first shift, 7-3, but I should be fine. The main reason I couldn't handle first shift in NKY is that my friends kept odd hours. I couldn't go to bed at ten. Not much of a social life here, so I can go to bed when I want. This is good for you guys, though. I can come up early on Fridays and hang out rather than showing up in the early hours of the morning like I did with visits to Sarah.
My job consists of hanging out in the boiler room, which is a separate building on the campus. From what I can tell, I hang out in an air-conditioned office and keep my eye on a large pressure gauge on the wall, occasionally making a tour of inspection around the machinery in the other room to make sure it's working right. If it isn't, I have to get it working. I'm going to spend this week learning to identify and resolve various problems with the boilers and the machines that keep them running. It's definitely something I can handle.
For the time being I'll be crashing at Sarah's. Her mom left her job a while ago and has yet to find another, so she needs help with the rent and bills and I can use the cheap living arrangements. I probably can't have people over until I get a place, however.
Aside from that, I have little to report. Sarah's doing fine. So is the Integra. I'll visit when I can. I was up last weekend and caught Alicia on her way to Texas last week. I wouldn't expect a lot from the blog, though, but you probably figured that out yourselves.
