Programming Job

I shouldn't have said I had the contract job until the contract was signed. They need to move me on to a different project, one which starts next week. They decided it was crucial to have my first project done a few days ago, so they had someone else throw it together while I was still reading up on how APIs work.

Road Report 4

I'm home now. I spent yesterday on Greyhound buses between Philadelphia and Detroit. When passengers asked if we had the much-vaunted outlets and Wifi, the driver said "no". Ours was just about the last trip on this route not to use the refurbished buses. All the same, I really like bus travel.

While in Philadelphia, I commented that I wished I had known in advance so I could see a friend there. Andy made some comment about me knowing somebody in every city.

During a layover, I texted to infowidget: "It will amuse you to learn I find myself unexpectedly in Cleveland!" If I had realized earlier, she may have stopped by the bus station for a chat.

I only desire an increased income for one thing. Well, one thing other than the basic necessities of life's infrastructure (shelter, food, mobility, communication). Other things I don't need money for, because they are given to me as birthday/Christmas gifts (such as games). Then there are things that are given to me as hand-me-downs (clothes, computers).

There is one thing for which I need a well-paying job: traveling to other people. That was given to me this week by someone else, but I've realized that doesn't happen often enough. That's what my career holds out to me-- the ability to travel. Not to travel to a place for the sake of that place. Places don't interest me much. I mean traveling to other people. There are so many.
