Today's Word
Grand Guignol \grahng-gheen-YAWL (the "ng" is not pronounced, but the vowel is nasalized)\ • noun : dramatic entertainment featuring the gruesome or horrible .
Today I had my first work in months. The act of going to work in and of itself made me feel much better. Just getting up and getting dressed, having a purpose for my day was meaningful and special. Unfortunately, the temporary assignment got finished today. Perhaps I'm too good at work. Maybe I should have slacked, but thats not in my ethic. I have to uphold my honor and public respect of the people who made this lifeline possible. I have to bust my ass. Just a few minutes earlier, I was given an entire week assignment on the 3-11 shift for next week. The hours are odd, but perfectly accommodate my interview schedule.
Last night after getting out of the shower, I was drying off and I used the corner of the towel to dry my ears. Afterwards, I went to bed and my ear drained a hell of a lot of water.....it actually was this bloody puss (sorry about that visual; not quite grand guignol and definately NOT entertainment, but gruesome enough for the medically weak at heart to appreciate). I now have a serious and very painful ear infection.
I had to ask my best friend in the world for a favor and it is excruciatingly painful and hurts my pride. Hurts! Hurts ASS! It breaks my pride into a million sharp shards. My spirit stands here looking at the million pieces laying on the ground; each mirrorized piece, a tiny representation of Maarten and his essence. I wonder if the reason the King's men couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again was because of the large number of small pieces?
Today I'm Grateful for: The rainy drive over to AU Park this morning to do this 2-day temporary assignment.

Work! Hurray! Good for you.
Personally, I wish I had a little bit less.
This business of arriving home from work after 9 PM day after day, and particularly on a Friday, is a bit bothersome.
I congratulate you on your upcoming huge successes with the results of your interviews and new work experience. I'm sure you'll show them what a real work ethic is all about.
Joe
