Allow Me to Introduce Myself

I am a writer, an artist, a crafter and most importantly, I am the center of the universe. Unfortunately, I've been fighting all my life for the rest of you to acknowledge this simple fact. Honestly, I don't see the problem.

So why am I starting this blog -- aside from my continued campaign for recognition as the COTU? Well, a couple of years ago, I lost my job as a graphic artist. (I didn't really lose it, i mean, I know where I left it...)

I immediately found another job that actually paid more money, but it turned out to be total mistake. Since then, I've been bounced from unemployment to temp jobs to unemployment to Shit Jobs. (A Shit Job is where you do shit, are paid shit and take shit, until you no longer give a shit.) My last SJ was Blockbuster. Oy vey. (No, I'm not Jewish, I just find some Yiddish expressions to be.... expressive.)

I am currently in a temp job that is just slightly above SJ. I'll call it a Crappy Job. For reasons of liability, I can't tell you where I work or what I do. I will just tell you it's clerical, tedious, and, some days, similar enough to hell to make me weep.

Now, the thing is, that due to the nature of the work, there are periods of time in which I have nothing to do. Now, my first thought for using this downtime was to work on my FaceBook Farm Town. I really ought to find a twelve-step program for this game, but I'm too busy planting and harvesting my crops.

But alas, as fate and the Devil himself would have it, I cannot access Farm Town on this computer. So that leaves me with posting status messages on FB every twenty minutes, until my friends there are begging for respite, and play mahjong and Super Text Twist until my eyes cross.

You can only play mahjong for so long. So here I am. Blogging away on my masterplan to force the universe to accept my place smack dab in the center of it.
