And started today at the new job.
Went fine. Sushi place, 20 yards from home. Keep it close.
Shadowed, opening, etc, nothing new, I know this all, the waiter I'm shadowing, super personable, my role here still undetermined, they're hiring for the spring, the uptick in business, but - as of the moment it's still dead. A few tables.
And so finish the training shift, no schedule as of yet, no guarantee of hours, tips, bills, and it's just another escalation in financial misfortune that when remedied will be sudden, all at once, like a flash of lightning, or diamond in the hand and scintillating, but - until then, that paraliminal stress that this has gone on just a little too long and it's time to get moving...
I've a feeling the gold will work out before this does...

Sunday, out and about. The car, still parked where I left it, no new tickets, the daughter rejoiced in my trauma and made me track it down and verify it was still there.
And so off and about, near destinations as I can't afford the gas.
A river. Gold. No pans, no shovel, but I know it's there and I'm gonna go back.
A couple of higher altitude destinations, finds, some lamproite (I think) - crystals, up to a cm long. I don't know what they are. I have to ask some questions.
And, breaking rocks, breaking rocks, and another crystal, too small to tell by looking, and my USB microscope fails, there's no "in-between" magnification, you're either too close or too far away and so...
I have to get this checked. My imagination runs rampant.
You know. Why not?
Home, find on my sweater a tick.
And then another on my neck the next day.
Bloody hell. I'm going to have to slather the Off, Deet, switch to white linens, but I've discovered a couple of new localities, of necessity close by, and - by Jove, my fortune will soon be made...

And tonight, just after I write this, crawling upon my wall:
FML. Bloody hell, must have latched on to my moccasins. I hate these buggers.

And this, because why-not, a Rom-Com entirely written and generated by AI.
Now, Rom-Coms (Romantic Comedies), they're not my thing. Although I did like "4 Weddings and a Funeral" and "Groundhog Day" - which until this day is still a 5 star movie, regardless of what anyone says.
But this, which bills itself as entirely written by AI and the film *(??? Code?) as well - well, ...
God damn. A hard genre to fail in, but if this trailer doesn't hit all the bases...

This is one of those cases where you should be damn grateful I didn't embed the trailer (because I can't, I upgraded to an unstable version of Joomla!), but - even if I could I'd want you doing that away from here. It looks like fucking hell. You're gonna love it.
