Yesterday sounded like it was fun for all of those who lost power… My parents didn’t lose power, but apparently parts of NJ and PA did, so I am not quite sure how they missed out… Did JCP&L actually do something RIGHT? No power loss here at all, but as a token gesture I turned off unnecessary lights and turned the A/C down so it was just keeping the humidity and the killer heat out. That’s my contribution to the grid. As it seemed like the blackout was moving like a wave, I had prepared by making a whole bunch of extra ice in case we needed it, but it’s just chilling now.

I’ve been applying for jobs like crazy, and today I got my first response in ages… From the response I am not entirely sure I am qualified for the job, but I will answer their questions and see what’s what. I also have applied for a few bogus jobs just to pay the bills in the interim. Yesterday I applied at the Kendall Cinema to work as a grunt there… The pay is decent, but I’m not sure if it will be enough for me to pay rent, let alone survive on…

The other day I noticed that CCTV has a posting in their window for an “Intro to OS X” instructor… It pays $15 an hour, obviously only for a few hours a week, but it might be fun.. I need to figure out another job before I apply for that one, though… I need something that I can pay the rent, I don’t want to stiff them without an instructor if I need to move out of here in a hurry.
