I interviewed for a part time job today at a place down the pike a piece. It sounds like it's a sure thing, although it's just a temporary job. At least it will help out my resume so it doesn't look like I haven't had a job for 4 years. Well, whatever. I'll look for a job while I work at this new place. I'm not sure exactly what I'll be doing there, yet. This next Wednesday they're making me get a physical and take a drug test. Not sure why they want me to take a physical but whatever, as long as they for it I don't care. I'm the teensiest bit nervous about taking a drug test. I don't know why since I haven't done any drugs other than drunk alcohol for a long time.

I can't remember exactly when I quit smoking weed, but it was many moons ago. So I ought not have anything in my system. Still.... I hate drug tests. I find them demeaning, especially for a pre-employment requirement. Either I do my job or I don't. Oh, and they're doing a criminal background check on me. I answered no to the question regarding whether I have any misdemeanors on my record even though I did get a DUI years ago. It was supposed to be expunged after I went through this stupid-a* drug court program, so I ought to be alright. If it does show up for some reason, I guess I'll just explain to them why I marked *no on the application.

I didn't get much sleep last night, and I've felt depressed all day. But good times. I'm probably going to go for a hike of some sort with my dad this evening. We'll see. If he'd rather do it tomorrow I'd be okay with that. Hiking in the dark with flashlights doesn't sound like too much fun, to me. I'd rather feel the heat of the summer sun. So I might suggest the possibility of us going tomorrow.

I always get depressed when I'm short on sleep. I hate that. This morning I woke up early and started thinking about this and that, my interview, etc. On Sunday I have a meeting scheduled with a dude at my church who is a doctor. I'm going to ask him how I should quit drinking. I've been afraid to cold-turkey it. I may have forgotten to mention that my previous "quitting" lasted about a week before the withdrawal symptoms got bad enough to make me worried. I don't want to talk about drinking, I just wanted to write that for the sake of transparency. If I need to be on any sort of medication, or if it would help to be, I want to know. If the dude tells me how I should taper, or whatever other advice he has, too...

Any who, I guess this is a short entry about next to nothing. I still don't know what to do about my "novel", whether or not I should finish it. It's often on my mind. It nags at me that I need to complete the damn thing. Hope everyone is doing well.
