Funny thing. Well, not so much "funny" as "making me want to pull all my hair out," but you know what I mean.
See, I was all prepared to come to write here this evening about me getting a huge lesson in Murphy's Law and keeping my mouth shut. After making that post last night about how my television was now over ten years old and the picture was starting to get blurry, and how I really didn't have the money to get a good replacement for it, last night my television up and died on me. I just came back from Best Buy where I had to get a discounted floor model to replace my old television, and while I can't say that I didn't have the money for a bargain basement television, I'm still kind of loathe to spend much money on anything until I get my job situation finalized here.
That would have been enough to have made the past twenty-four hours or so a real pain in the neck to deal with. Then, however, I got a letter from UT in the mail late this afternoon. Remember that paperwork snafu I mentioned last semester? It may have just come back to bite me in the ass here. I can't be sure because I need to wait for a phone call from the university tomorrow, but needless to say I may about to learn the true meaning of the word "screwed" here.
Here's hoping that this all gets straightened out and I get a good, decent-paying job here soon, because things are looking pretty bleak for me at this point.
