Thursday Night

Well today marks one week in Key West for me. Still no job.. lol.

I’m going into the south florida workforce offices tomorrow to have a meeting with a “career advisor”. Maybe he can tell me what I want to be when I grow up, and then find me an appropriate job. He’d better or I’ll have Christina fire his ass.

Tonight we went to the laundromat a couple blocks away. I sat there with my vodka tonic and my kindle iphone app reading ‘dead until dark’ and chilled for an hour and a half. Some drunk tourists wandered in and wanted to know where Duvall st was, we told them it was 3 blocks away. They then proceeded to call a cab to take them there. Are you fucking kidding me?

Another couple of girls, one of them seriously overweight, the other skinny and tattooed, both of them drunker than shit, stood by the door and argued about who had the business card for the cab service in their purse. Unable to solve their quandary of their own accord, they asked me what the number was, and I had to admit that I bike everywhere and have no use for cabs. They proceeded to jibber jabber in drunkan-ese to one another, and the skinny one dumped the better part of the contents of her purse on the sidewalk to show the fat one that she didn’t have the card. Of course, she did. They called a cab, it showed up mercifully fast, and took them away. They probably were only going a block or two. I’ve been here only one week and I’ve come to the conclusion that tourists are dumb.

iPhone OS 3 came out today, and I loaded that shit on my phone so fast it made my computer beg for mercy. Of course the one big feature I’d waited for all these years.. MMS texting, apparently only works on the newer model of iPhone. Fuck you apple! I mean, I love you..
