As I mentioned this past Monday, I was offered a postion but turned it down. It wasn’t the right opportunity for me. Accepting it would have prevented me from pursuing the opportunity that I feel IS right for me.

Now, because of that, my unemployment payments will be stopped “until they determine how the refusal of the opportunity affects my benefits”. I am SO SCREWED now. As things were WITH the unemployment payments, I was having issues paying my bills. Now I’m completely screwed. If this other opportunity falls through, I just don’t know what I’m going to do. No other company is gonna hire me ‘cuz they’re gonna be able to tell from my resume that I’m looking for work in another field and probably won’t stick around if I find it. Unless I can get some temp data entry work, I am so screwed. I just don’t know what to do. I just don’t know …

My god! NBC/TNT usually shows a ton of commercials, but it’s getting riduculous today. I swear … I’ve seen more commercials than I have race today. This is TALLADEGA, for crying out loud. I wanna see the damn race. Thank goodness the race is on the radio, ‘cuz I’m getting more info from that than from the TV. I’m half tempted to leave the TV on mute for the entire race and just listen to the radio.

I know that I’m not the only fan who feels this way. Over on the PitBoard, they feel the same.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Dale Jr has a flat tire. Damn! And he was running so good today.

UPDATE - 3:17pm
I think I panicked too early. The rest of the field pitted not too long after Dale Jr had to come in for the tire. Maybe everything will be okay.

UPDATE - 3:35pm
Dale Jr ended up going a lap down due to the flat tire, but not any more. Debris caution just came out and Dale Jr is back on the lead lap. Lucky Dog baby!! The rest of the field better look out. Dale Jr’s got a pretty stout car today. Hopefully no more tire issues for the rest of the race (or any other mechanical issues).

Mood: bitchy   NASCAR race at Talladega

Today’s race is at Talladega. That is good news for my boyz …

The only thing I’m worried about is “The Big One“. I don’t wanna see ANY cars upsidedown … even the drives that I don’t like. It’s not good when cars go upside down. I’m hoping for a clean race … a good race … and one where my boyz finish 1 - 2- 3!!

Gotta go. Green flag. Boogity, boogity, boogity!!!!
