livin' on the dole
The reality of my current situation finally set in on Tuesday when I visited the DC Dept. of 'Employment' Services for my unemployment compensation. While they aren't as bad as the City Paper depicts them, they deliver their services in the typical DC style. I realized that it no longer bothers me, however. Last year I got my checks on time without problem, and they were generally helpful.
Needless to say, I was noticeably distracted at rugby practice last night. My mind was definitely elsewhere. I'm going to continue my COBRA through October, which will allow me to play until the end of the season. However, at $397.28 a month, I'll probably just play it safe for the rest of the year. Last year's attempt at short term health insurance was a crock of shit, costing me more than the actual cost of their 'coverage'. With the amount of injuries going on, it looks like I'll have a busy season playing, as a lot of guys have some pretty bad injuries.
From Stebbins: WOOOOOF! Finally, the normally twink-dominated 'Coverboy Confidential' of DC's weekly bar rag Metro Weekly features not just chest hair, but facial hair! Mine.
Speaking of twinks, my roomate cut his long hair and looks like 10 years younger. Tonight he has a makeover debut at a party. Go gurl!
Today I saw my career counselor for a couple of hours, and got a lot of ideas, leads and a review of my resume. I'll be building her website as an exchange, which works out nicely. I definitely couldn't afford paying out of pocket for one at the moment. No current leads resulting from the past month of job searching from the office, but sometimes things take a while. It's nice to see that temp agencies are branching out into more technical and creative placement as well.

He's very sexy, and trimmed too.

What's the level of hurricane terror in DC?

Yeah, I've always been kind of creeped out by the Nightlife Coveryboy twinkfest. Usually they look like they've only passed through puberty long enough to tweeze their eyebrows. This one is hot!
