It's been a slow day... I worked on updating my personal Website, The Wild World of Jeff, which I've been remiss in updating for about half a year; I continued working on my zine for Comicopia 62; I caught up on new episodes of my favorite Saturday cartoons on the WB, and my Saturday evening shows too. It just hasn't felt like a really inspiring day. I think it's a feeling of ennui striking many; jo the webmistress of the webmistressweblog even stated on her blog today that she was taking a break to do other non-computer related things. I think your US election with the big vote snafu in Florida has just left us all tired. Posted by Jeff Boman on Saturday, November 11, 2000 | link me Seymour!
I'm going Midieval on the government... OK, at least trying to be pro-active in smartening them up:
I composed a letter to send them next week, explaining my financial situation in no uncertain terms, and how it's impossible to pay them their blood money.
If they still want to try hassling me, I'm ready to speak with my MP and/or MNA. With this being a Canadian election year, results will be more forthcoming.
No matter how, the provincial gov won't get blood from this stone!

Finally, something good came my way!
I finally solved my headaches with image files always being broken in the Archives section: I loaded a second copy of my images into that folder. Result: now all the links work, and Archive viewers will finally get to see what things look like. :)

I haven't posted here for 3 days... I'm sorry about that. It's been a helluva few days.
My dad had heart surgery on Monday. That took up a lot of my mindspace... he came out of it, but with infection complications - complications that the cardiac institute medical staff wouldn't deal with. Words can't quite cover how little I feel for them right now.
Thursday I got my paycheque from work. By today, one day later, I'm already reduced to about 12 bucks until next payday. Simple way to be broke: just get a job.
Adding insult to injury, the Quebec government has now given me 15 days to pay them back the remaining $2139 in deferred interest from student loans I got over a decade ago. Said money they only decided I had to pay them - without any notification of the amount in advance - two years after I wiped out my savings paying off the loans. Now, I've been off Welfare since May, and even though I have to start getting food from a food bank to survive week to week, they figure I'll find the funds to pay them.
Sometimes, life really blows.

Another day, another lack of dollars. Same old, same old...
Today is Election Day in the U.S. How will I handle it?
Watching Buffy and Angel on WPIX New York... and waiting for my morning radio news to learn what happened.

I had a message from my mom on my answering machine this afternoon: my dad came through his surgery OK.
I needed good news today. My landlord gave me a rent reminder in the mail today. I can't stress this enough: I NEED TO MAKE MORE MONEY!!!

Posting from the office (again)...
I don't know if it's happening right at this moment, but my dad is having heart surgery today... it's hard for me to think of anything else.
