many short pieces of living

[threeplusfire]

Listening to Remy Zero and licking cake batter off my fork, with all the windows open, and the stereo up to cover the sound of the washing machine, which means I may miss the timer on the stove, so I've got to pay attention, but the sky is beautiful and blue and I can't believe it but I have become the one that's older now...

as the earth swung
this golden hum
seemed to wash over me
as the bells ring
I heard you sing
and call me out to see
and you said how did you know?

you still looking for a job?

I know of one that might interest you, but I'm not sure. It's only about $150 a month.

I am looking for work, desperately. Sadly, I need more money than that. What kind of job is it?

It's basically like my job.

I'm on call for 1 week out of every 3 weeks. I'm back-up on call for the second week, and I'm off for the 3rd. If somebody finds a wild animal in a building at UT, I go try to catch it and release it. These are mostly bats. I get paid a dollar an hour for the week that I'm on call, plus every time I get a call, I'm paid for 3 hours of work at $8 an hour. My boss is pregnant and will probably go on maternity leave in a few months, so it's possible that there will be some extra work. The only time I'm not on-call during the on-call week is when I'm in class. I guess that's what sucks - it's a part-time job that doesn't really allow you to have another job. At least, you have to be able to run go catch an animal whenever you get a page. But it's a great job. And you get FREE rabies shots!
