In other sadness, my career developer called and said that some guys maybe looking to hire have been calling me and I haven't been calling them back, my call records show nothing of this. Dammit, if it's not one thing, it's always another. All I want is a phone with good reception, good speakers so I can hear what they're saying, and won't drop me in the middle of a call for no reason. Every phone in my house only has one of those qualities, and it's maddening that my effort can be blunted by faulty technology so easily.

El cheapo prepaid mobile phone is solution maybe?  I paid 20 bucks for mine, it sux, but I can make and receive calls fine.

Use a Landline?
I have never had a landline drop a call, have resception problems (except when it is their fault of course), and they pretty much all have good speakers.

Magic jack sounds pretty cheap.

Re: not feeling like you fit into society, take up religion.  Follow a trickster deity (there's some in every pantheon, take your pick).  Probably a good half of 'em smile very heavily upon the act of disguising yourself, pulling a fast one on the people around you, by seeming to fit in when you feel like you can't...  If you turn it from "It sucks that I feel this way and have to hide myself," to "I'm awesome because I'm good at hiding myself," your personal outlook can improve while you feel more free to explore who you really want to be.

With luck, you'll find out that you fit in better than you think anyway.  Fake it 'til you make it?  Dunno.  But being a member of society /is/ a learned skill.

Just found out my grandma died earlier today. She's been sick for a long time, so it's not a shock or anything. Just sad.

My last paycheck was for $5. I got admin pay for doing call reports from the week prior, but that's it. ;_;

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Obviously you should have driven there and back. The $5 would help offset about 1.5 gallons of gas.  :P
