First Few Days of Unemployment

Well, Thursday was wierd, just hanging out playing x-box and watching T.V. On Friday I had to go downtown so I stopped by Monorail Espresso and hung out with my friends. Everyone commented on how strange it was to se me in street clothes, as opposed to my biking gear. I think that is one thing I will enjoy about not riding for work anymore: that is, not having to wear 'gear' anymore. I was never one of those guys who rode around all winter long in cotton, just to look punk-rock. But now I get to wear regular clothes.

Jessica and I are moving this month so being unemployed is actually good 'cause I can do a lot of the moving a day at a time, and I won't get bored. But I think next month may be a different story.

We're moving north to the Lake City area and this will be the first time in 13 years I will be living out of the city. I'm a little nervous about living so far out of the city because I think I'll feel cut-off. But I can ride to Greenlake and the U District is just a ride up Roosevelt Way. Plus, I'll be closer to Rick's, which may or may not be a good thing.

Bob Newhart - Comic Genius Passes Away

 A true comic genius has passed away today. One of the first comedy albums I remember listening to as a child is "The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart." His most famous shtick was the telephone conversation where the audience hears only his end of the call. The most famous and best of this is the " Introducing Tobacco to Civilization " skit.

Math Anxiety

I don't normally blog my school experiences, but I just found out today that I have to take more math. I thought I was done with math, but now I find out I have two more classes to take. I am so upset I can't hardly breath. I am so math phobic it's not funny. No, really, it's not funny. I have anxiety attacks in math class. I start to sweat and sometimes I literally start to shake. Years ago when working on my philosophy degree, I had to take logic and did relatively well. And I get so tired of having people tell me that since I did well in logic, I should do well in math. Well, it doesn't work that way, at least not for me. Otherwise (meaning except for the math) things go well. I am actually ahead in my Cisco class, primarily because I didn't take any math this quarter, and my Net Security class is a breeze. Fucking math! Whose ideas is/was it that one has to be a math whiz in order to work with computers?!
