OMG the photos #1
Jul. 30th, 2008 03:26 pmWe're home! There's good and bad, and I know I'm feeling a little bit of the day after vacation blues. Didn't get a whole lot of drawing done, of course. I'm not sure why I expected otherwise, but I do have a couple small pieces inspired by landscape.
I have to start calling in for possible Jury duty starting August 15th, which messes with the job hunt because I have to be careful scheduling interviews and then if I have to serve just after getting hired... I dunno. I also have a phone call interview with unemployment because I might not be eligible after all, and I'm still honestly not sure what I did wrong. It was an informal, friendly environment and I guess my being informal and friendly rubbed some people the wrong way, but I don't know who, or what I said or did that did it. I also don't know if I'm supposed to go on filing claims until the hearing just in case, or not.
My eml normally gets a little spam, but the filter works pretty well and I probably get about 2 or 3 pieces in my inbox a week. Someone seems to have hijacked my addy to send spam while I was gone, and it's full of delivery failure notices again, which of course meant then legitimate emls couldn't get through. If you sent me something and it bounced, you can try again now. Also my web hosting kept telling me to update my charge information because I was coming up for renewal. I checked, everything was up to date and the current card, and I went off on vacation with lots of money sitting in my account. I actually managed to spend very little of it on vacation. I came home to a notice that it couldn't renew it, and I still had to go in and manually save my domain from vanishing. What the hell did I put my up to date information on there for if they keep trying to charge the older expired card anyway? WTF? Thanks GoDaddy.
The cats and millipede are fine. Squeaks sulked for about ten minutes when we got home and then decided she loved me again. This morning she was out for an hour and left a blood trail on the porch to a dead vole on the front walk. I'm sure the neighbors appreciate her gifts even more than we do...
A picture's worth a thousand words, but I just might get that many words in here anyway. If there's anybody out there besides us on Dialup, beware.
Ridiculously, the first picture on the camera is this. ( Read more... )
We left Bangor for Bar Harbor and two nights in an incredibly expensive seaside hotel, but there's so many pictures from the day and a half there, I'll put them in a separate post. More to come!
