I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring

Take any sofa, look for somewhere cheap and hold onto the job.
Keep your chin up too!
Damn. Just damn. I know someone who went through this, it is rough but doable for a time. And from what I heard the VA has programs but as you know it is the VA, so I think you are right on that one. Housing in Denver is still tight. Dang it
I went out to my truck and finally cleared the back out and laid down the back seat. Guess what doesn't go down all the way? For the foreseeable future, I will be sleeping in an inclined position.
I also tried to give the remainder of my food stuffs to a friend but he declined. I'd rather not leave it here a the house for the people kicking me out, but I don't have any way to take it with me. No room for a cooler or anything.
I was just telling my friend, I'd always liked my smaller SUV, but now I'm wishing I had the bigger 4Dr one.
It caught me by surprise. As I'm walking out, saying my goodbyes, he comes up to me and tells me I need to leave the building. I don't.
On the second floor I run across some other employees, those who have been there for years. I told them what happened and they went bonkers. One even tried to catch HR before they left the building. I have an exit interview scheduled for Monday morning with the senior HR person. No promises were made but I got the impression I might have a chance to get re-hired on another team.
I spent the last two nights in church parking lots and was hoping to again this evening but, dammit, whatever these churches are doing, they're doing well into the night.
Went to a homeless Veterans event today. Spoke with some shelters. They don't sound fun. One shelter, the Samaritan House, said they're group style. 80 men sharing a room. I could barely sleep with Rufus breathing in the room, how am i supposed to sleep around 79 other people? Also, since it's a Catholic shelter they require regular counseling sessions and regular mass attendance. And the guy i spoke with admitted, it's not always safe.
There are, of course, other options.
I just need a good night's sleep and a place to prep for interviews. So I can start looking for a place. Is that too much to ask?
