Renewal

     I probably shouldn't talk about money as much as I do but it's been on my mind a lot lately, and it's not like I have work stories to post about.

     My work is always ebb and flow, feast and famine, but I think this is the worst famine I've been through. I had to get and overdraft to pay my rent. I went on my road trip which was amazing and theoretically affordable, however my city was struck with a bit of a "natural disaster" and sex seemed to be the last thing on everyone's mind. Things from that have settled down but now we are having our annual summer festival, and you would think that business would pick up with the increase in tourism, but with that comes an influx of co-workers. More competition. Less work. Almost no work.

     I was also informed that my license expires in a week. I carry the thing with me but I never look at it. Totally forgot about having to renew it. So that's what I'm doing now. I think it will cost $200. I hope to god they'll just hand me a new one and there doesn't have to be another back ground check. That can take up to five weeks. If I have to go five weeks without working, I'll be sunk!!! Oh the suspense!

     Other than that things are good. Like I say things have been rather unexciting. I had a client this morning, he was an outta-towner which was good. That means more money. He was so coked out. He referred to coke as yale. Is that a thing? I've never heard that before. He reminded me why I quit coke. His eyes are all squirrelly and jaw all chewey. In my six years of casual coke use, I don't think I've ever been like that, but seeing it is such a turn off.

     Further to being in line. I don't think I'm the only one with an expired license. Is it terrible that I think every stylish attractive female is here for the same reason I am? Not very feminist of me. Maybe they need a permit for the new deck they're building. Could be anything. I doubt it. Summer has been beautiful and I'm wearing a strapless dress. If I have to get a new photo taken for my license I'll look topless. So classy
