New times, old times, yadda yadda

Well, I guess it's been long enough that all one of you might be waiting to see how my dad's doing now. The surgery to get the tumor from his brain was a major success... for the first week or so. Then they ended up finding out they accidentally left an infection behind where the tumor was. So dad ended up going back into the hospital. Fun times. He hasn't come home yet, and he's been gone a week, but it sounds like they got the infection and he should be home very soon. Today I'm guessing, maybe tomorrow. I haven't heard for a couple days. He's been pumped full of antibiotics and should be good. Total surgeries now in the last month: 3. One for the tumor, one for the infection, one to drain some of the extra spinal fluid his body's been making with a tap. I've heard he's got a cute little helmet now, though I don't know if he'll be wearing it when he gets back or not. I think they will put his bone back in his head again. So, he should be good now. FINALLY.
Other note would be me. Still lonely as always, sadly, and thinking about quitting my job. Because my job sucks. There's only really two... three places to work around here. Fast food/restaurant, hotel (cleaning, front desk, the likes), or retail. This place is a dead-end for any sort of technical job. Closest thing to such I've found is maybe data processing and such for like... a law first, or dentists' office. Now that would be nice. Problem though: 0 college thus far. I really need to get into school again. Only other thing I might enjoy is working at Hollywood Video. I dunno. I've applied there once, they gave their basic avoidance of 'We found someone else' and I never saw their Now Hiring sign leave their window. -.- Sooo... life isn't the best. And I want a job that isn't in the food business. I've had three jobs in it now, and I've relatively hated it each time. My first one was all right, I guess, but... I know it isn't for me. And even if I had a driver's license (permit only currently... yeah, I'm that lazy) the closest town that would likely have more technological places to work is an hour and a half away. Gas prices as they are, no thank you for a commute like that. Yeah.

Hope your father makes a speedy recovery. As for the job thing, I can feel for you, My job kind of stinks too, but it does put money in my pocket.
