in which there is considerable grumpiness

dchenesBuying T passes as an individual, instead of automatically giving up a piece of one's paycheck once a month, is a pain in the neck. Everywhere that sells T passes sells them for cash only. What happens if I haven't got enough cash? I end up paying cash to go anywhere for a month, or I do what I've been doing and walk a lot. Grr. Oh well, at least it's decent weather for doing a lot of walking. Speaking of going places, I have to go send HP6 to my parents in CT today.
I did hear from the temp agency yesterday. Basically they called to tell me they hadn't heard anything yet. It seems that the two-person HR department I interviewed with is only in the office on Wednesdays, or something. So no employment this week, and probably not until the end of next week at the earliest. Sigh. I've given up damning MIT for incompetent idiots, because it's not getting me anywhere and it doesn't make me feel better any more either.
This is when I could really stand to be collecting unemployment, but I can't, because I wasn't laid off. I merely impoverished myself by being a grad student and then moving back here, so the government doesn't care. They should, damn it; how am I going to pay back my student loans to them if I don't have any money? Hmm? (Yes, I know the student loans are federal and unemployment is state, but as long as I'm being miffed at the current administration, I might as well lump the current Massachusetts administration in with it.)
I hate the idea, but I should probably figure out what I can sell if it comes to that. Selling my own abilities sure as hell isn't working so well so far.
Right, never mind, I have to go see about T pass and mail and all that good stuff. Maybe the walk will do me some good too.
