good with the bad

Yesterday was interesting. The day began with hitting a rabbit on my way to work. He started to cross the road, then stopped and turned, so I didn't brake -- then he turned around again and dashed in front of the car. In a split second I thought, "pleasepleasePLEASE just run under the car just like the squirrels do." But nope... I heard the thrump and the crunch, and saw a flat bunny in my mirror. I was highly pissed, and I don't mean in the British way.

Later, I found out I didn't get a job that I applied for two months ago and even had two interviews for. And it was a really good company and would have allowed me to move out on my own and live closer to Cleveland. *sigh* Back to the search...

However, I had an appointment with my oncologist yesterday, and he said my CAT scan from last week is clean and my bloodwork was fine. Hurrah! Incidentally, my last chemo session was just over a year ago.

Guitar Center got a Yamaha S90 ES sooner than expected, so they're ready to exchange it with the floor model they'd loaned me. I thought I would head home after my doctor appointment, load up the keyboard, go get the new one, then go on to meet my friends at Buffalo Wild Wings in Lyndhurst, since I'd already be near I-480. But my appointment was on time for once, and I left the Clinic at 5:15, right in the thick of rush hour. Getting back to I-71, then from 71 to 480 took a good half hour, and I didn't feel like driving another 40 minutes home just to turn around and drive another half hour to Guitar Center and be late for wings. So I just went to BWW early and surfed the 'net on my laptop with the free wireless until my friends showed up. I'll go get the keyboard tonight after I pick up my new suit.

But the important thing is, no more cancer.

Gah! After all that, you didn't get the jaerb? Oh well - they'll probably hire some attractive looking guy/gal who has no clue what the hell they're doing anyways.

Hitting a rabbit sucks. One time the little lady and I were driving a group of students from Toledo to the BGSU Rec Center. Well, as I watched from two cars behind her car, she plowed over a duck and a few of its babies. The guy behind her was driving too close for her to hit the brakes and there was a semi to the right, so she made the right choice, but it made for a fun (i.e. annoying and guilt ridden) next few weeks, as the students all called her a "killer".

Actually, I just recently found out the company instituted a hiring freeze, so the department couldn't hire me even if they had wanted to. So I'll just pretend I would have been offered the job if it weren't for the freeze. I'll keep watching their site to see when they thaw...
