Endings...kinda

I can't believe it's August, and not only that but the 9th of August. School kids have to head back to school in less than 2 weeks. Where did summer disappear to? I know I risk dating myself, but when I was in school, especially elementary school, the summer days stretched forever. You were somewhat prepared for the end of Summer as well because the days actually got cooler, the leaves began to turn, and you were into September before you actually had to start wearing shoes again to trudge up the steps to the school. With the changes in school start dates, the kids today have to start back when it's still over a hundred degrees outside. Of course, all the schools are air conditioned and the kids can wear shorts and tee shirts now. Enough of that; I find myself reminiscing like this every August when school starts back up, so just ignore me. I guess the old saying 'Time speeds up the older you get' is true. Jeez. I'm old.

I think my job with the Census is over. Notice the 'I think'. They won't tell us if it is or not. The best we can get is 'There's currently no more work.' Currently. As in, 'maybe at some point in time there will be something to do'. So we're sort of in limbo. In limbo with no money coming in. I've tried to pick up the pace with my applications, but am still having no luck. I think I will start revisiting all the stores I've been to and applied with and see what happens. As I told one of my friends - I'll just keep flinging applications against the employment wall and see if something will stick. If I could just figure out a way to smear some superglue on one of the applications......
