It's A Sad Day In My World

My trusty iBook is having some problems. The battery won't take a charge, which means that either the battery itself needs to be replaced, or the power adapter is faulty. Since it wouldn't boot up with the battery removed, Kevin is inclined to think that it's the adapter. I don't know what to think. Either way, it's an inconvient expenditure.

I'm trying to find affordable parts on eBay, but most of the adapters are around $30 plus $10-15 in shipping, and batteries are even worse. I'm bidding on an adapter right now, but the auction doesn't end for almost three days. If I knew someone around here with a G3 iBook that I could use for my troubleshooting needs, I would know exactly which part to replace instead of playing roulette and possibly buying an unnecessary accessory

So, on to my second-string news.

The remaining balance on my unemployment is only enough to get me through the next five weeks, so I applied for a job as the fuel station attendant at Safeway. The hiring manager is someone I've known personally and professionally for a few years now, so after a quick ten minute chat this morning about what my hours would be I was asked to undergo drug screening tomorrow morning. Unless someone slipped heroin into my breakfast, I should be fine.

I told her that I was going to take a class in June, but would want to continue working around that schedule, but I didn't mention that I would probably be taking a different job in July. I might decide to keep both jobs for awhile, or I might not even be offered a position with the clinic. The paperwork I signed when I completed my tests indicated that there is no guarantee that all successful graduates will be offered a job.

So, that's what's going on with me. Audioblogger hasn't been posting my clips lately, but I'll try to keep updating at least once a week via the library computers.
