Went to the VA today for my hearing aid evaluation. At first they didn't think it would help, but I explained the reason I have difficulty hearing was because the ringing, I call it white noise, distracts my brain. If I talk to someone with an MP3 player playing in the bad ear it is a lot easier to concentrate on the conversation. Otherwise all I hear is static. So one of the evaluators decided to try doing the test by pump words into both ears. The bad ear would have the volume elevated, the good ear's volume would remain normal. Wouldn't you know it, I got a better score, they also tried adjusting background noise to see if that affected the outcome, there was no change. So after a consult with the Eyes, Ears, and Throat doctor, I'll be fitted with a hearing aid.

The plan was to workout and drop off my Job application with military Morale Welfare and Recreation, but after my workout I ate a couple PB&Js and fell asleep. Didn't wake up until 1630. Well to rephrase, my lazy ass didn't get up out of the chair until 1630. After that woke up, then went back to sleep several times. It was until 1630 that I actually put any gumption into rolling out. So now I'll have to take some time to drop off an application tomorrow. There were no Coffee jobs on craigslist this week so I have to apply somewhere if I want to get paid by the state of California.

I tell people when I'm asked what is my job, that my job is looking for a job. The state of CA pays me to find a job, I never thought it would be so hard to find coffee shop job in my life. When I'm not looking for a job I excersize, study my bible, pray, and read. For the longest time I let my brain go to mush just sitting around watching the tube, playing video games, and just existing.
