Reality, what a concept

jcollie719I had a great time at RMFC! Here's the abridged version of my activities:
FRIDAY: Arrived at the hotel around 11:30 and met the roommates just before noon. Attended the singles meet and greet. Took a couple of walks: one to a nearby cafe for lunch and another to an ATM a few blocks over. Attended the Guest of Honor dinner, but missed the greymuzzle meet since both overlapped. Danced for a little bit.
SATURDAY: Marched in the fursuit parade, which had a shorter route this year. Spent $14 ($17 with tip) on a pancake breakfast. Went with a group to the Hard Rock Cafe in downtown Denver. Missed Casino Night.
SUNDAY: Had a huge lunch since I didn't want to be hungry during Free Can Cook. I missed that panel anyway because my nap lasted longer than expected. Attended closing ceremonies. Karaoke only had a few people when I arrived at the start, so I went to the dance for a while. I returned to karaoke toward the end and sang "Bohemian Rhapsody" with a large group.
I saved more money than expected because one of my roommates bought lunch and snack items to share. I budgeted $20 per night for drinks, but I only had one drink the whole con while at the Hard Rock Cafe. I spent more time relaxing/napping in the hotel room because I couldn't get as much sleep at night.
I know I say this every year, but I really want to be hired at either a full-time job or a part-time weekday-only job (to supplement my KRCC work) or find a successful home business. I figured "be hired" is a more-specific goal than "finding" a job. I find lots of jobs every day, but the ones I apply for haven't hired me.
I heard tonight that Robin Williams died. Rest In Peace to a brilliant comedian and actor. I loved most of his movies, whether they made me laugh, cry or both.
