Deep thoughts or something

I just realized a few minutes ago that since I've been back in the gym I've had exactly one minor gout flair up. Normally I'd get hit pretty hard every 2-3 weeks. When it flairs up I get it either in my instep or my ankle, or in worst case scenarios both places. Last March I got hit with it in both feet and I had to break out the crutches for a few days. I take Allopurinol daily to help combat the flair ups, so even when I got hit hard it could have been worse. But now I'm wondering if I'll even need to continue taking it. I'm due back at the doc's for labs in January, and thats about when my current prescription runs out, so I'll see what he thinks. But anyway, yay...the gout is gone. And of course having typed that, just watch....

I've also been mulling it over and I think I'm going to go ahead and get MW3. I've always preferred the IW versions to Treyarch's and I'm not so big on the shooters that I have to buy the latest version every year, so I still have yet to even touch BLOPS. But from what I've seen this looks fun; the campaign looks interesting (albeit short, as usual) and maybe I can tag along with enough folks here online that they'll be able to cover for my lack of skills in the online portion of CoD games.

I'm still stressing over something involving my son, but it won't be resolved until this weekend so I don't want to discuss it just yet. Its nothing life threatening or horrifying like when his mom abandoned him earlier in the year, but its some bullshit nonetheless. Its one of those situations where you want to get involved but know its best that you don't and let him either try to confront the issue himself or just ride it out and support him while he does. But like I said it should be done with after this weekend so once the smoke clears and I have a better assessment of what happened I'll post something on it.

Also waiting to hear on yet another supervisor position I was contacted about. I've lost count of how many times this has happened, where I get a call or an email from an agency that found my resume on one of the job sites and has this terrific position I'd be perfect for. And then they tell me they're going to present me to the client immediately, and they'll get back to me right away. And then of course a few days go by so I call back and am told they are still waiting to hear something. A few more days go by, a week, whatever, and then I call back again and am told that the position was filled internally. Mmmhm. The best one yet was when after 3 weeks the agency told me "Well, we don't actually have a contract with this company to provide labor...". The first couple times I was naive enough to get excited by the initial prospect of the whole thing, but now I've learned not to get my hopes up. I contacted this most recent agency again this morning and was told they wouldn't know anything until Wednesday, as the facility manager had a family emergency and wouldn't be back until then. At least thats a new one. The thing is though these hours and days for this position are so whacked that I may actually have a shot. Like I told the woman at the agency, all I need is an interview. If she gets me the interview the company will hire me, I have no doubt of this. Ah but there I go getting my hopes up again...
