The Murky Leap

I am in the full transitional phase, and it isn't pretty.

Yesterday, SS offered me a job. It is assiting him in a class he is teaching on Wednesday nights. He is actually going to pay me.

The good thing is, he is paying me about what I would make at the restaurant, so no trouble in taking the time off. However, in taking the time off, I will lose hours, and that will mean losing my health insurance eligibility.

That sucks.

Especially now, when I am starting to train for a marathon and everyone I talk to says just to prepare for the injury that will surely happen. Everyone gets injured. It's ok, and you will still run, but get ready.

So, I kind of need my insurance.

I know, I know, I could pick up a shift at the restaurant. Probably a day shift, which I just let go, because they suck and they suck, but it would keep my hours.

Grrr.

I want to keep my Fridays free, just so I have one day a week with nothing. So, that means either doing a double on Mondays, or picking up Wed or Thurs during the day and then rushing over to the studio to assist for the night.

They say that you should take the leap, and the bridge will appear. The thing is, it never actually looks like a bridge, so how do you know if it is the bridge or not.

It reminds me of a joke.

A town floods, and a man climbs onto his roof. He calls out to God for God to save him. He is positive God will save him.

I guy comes by rowing a boat, and asks if the guy would like to get in, but the guy says no. God will save him.

The water rises.

A helicopter swoops down, and the pilot asks if the guy wants a rope lowered to him. He says no. God will save him.

The water rises, and the guy drowns.

In heaven, he meets God, and he says, "God, I called out to you. Why didn't you save me?"

God says, " What? I sent a boat, I sent a helicopter, what do you want?"
