I can't stand working at the club anymore.  I'm surrounded by idiots, loathsome hunks of flesh, senile elderly, and young pisants.  ----- and ----- always want to tell me all their problems.  ----- and ----- are losing their marbles and becoming intolerable.  Most of the sane and intelligent people there are simply rude as hell.  How have I gotten along all this time?  It feels like The Matrix, waking up in a tank of fluid connected to loathsome tubing that sucks the life out of you slowly, when all along you thought you were in a big city, a real planet.  I feel stressed constantly.  I can't get any relaxation or relief.  Something has snapped inside of me.  I gotta get out of there.

----- got a job, a big job, with Maxis - the Sim company.  He says he could arrange for an interview for me there, has faith I could do it even as a beginner.  I am so, so tempted.
But alas, it seems like I hit the middle of a book and all of a sudden I have no clue what's going on.  Am I just pissy 'cause I quit drinking and don't know how to de-stress otherwise?  Whatever's going on, I don't like it.  I'm burning rubber here.  It's a high octane headache.

Tonight as I was closing up the nightmare of some evil presence in the club came to mind and I got suddenly very creeped out.  Paranoia, haven't felt it in so long... even the subway seemed lightly menacing.
