Ground Hog's Day

Day 2

Well today was challenging to say the least. The white ribbon almost bit the dust at about 12:30 or so.

So here I am scanning craiglist for jobs to apply to. See this one receptionist: 17/hr. I'm like fuck yea. I'll send a resume to that one.
Quickly get an email back from the company, saying to go to this website to fill out an application there. Ok, they set up some sort of filter, every time someone sends in an email, send them this form letter with the link and the information. OK, fair enough. Seems good so far.

So I go to the link, and it seemed a bit odd. I type in my information but I dont hit send. I do a google search on the websites title for something simple like the name of the company. Nothing. Do a google search on, the name of the person who responded to my email. Nothing. (which i know isnt that rare). OK now my interest is peaked.. Do a whois search on the website address. Find some interesting information, like the phone number listed is a known spammer/telemarketers and various other not niceties about the company. So yep. I sent my complete resume with phone number and address to a known spammer. Lovely.

I then get a message from Glenn, my ex. Saying, that on his unlisted and voip number and his cell number, that a Mr. SO and SO called me asking for me to call him back. Weird right? Oh yea it gets better. Mr. SO and SO, also calls another friend of mine with the same thing. Have, me call him back at such number. Mr. So and So works at a very aggressive and very lets just say mean, collections agency. Seems someone wants that 24k dollars that I owe. Yep... more lovely.

Thats when I just started breaking down. Head-desk. And i just shook. Not from tears or anything. But just the pure intensity of having two very serious things happen in the space of an hour.

Did get some work done on my dress. Did go to the gym, met with a trainer even. She gave me some good options for me to do while my knee heals. Now if only we had Obama's health care plan I could actually afford to get it checked out.
I even cooked dinner tonight, in the slow cooker even. Pork loin chops with brocoli and stuffing. It sounds weird, but wound up quite good.

Some other good news. A friend bought me a ticket for Seacompression. And my ebay sales are still going well. And on saturday at safeway there is going to be 3# of bacon on sale for 5$. WOO!
