There are several tests the temp agency wanted me to take online. Unfortunately, all the tests require a connection speed of at least 33,600 bps, and my recent connection speeds have been well below that. I've been trying to take these tests for the last month and have been completely unable to do so. But tonight, I finally reconnected at a decent speed and thought, hey, it's half an hour 'til next month (when all the passwords change), I can at least take the typing test.

Wrong. I'm supposed to have a printed sheet before me so I'll know what to type. Nobody gave me a printed sheet. So it looks like I'll be unable to take any of the tests this month.

Between this whole testing fiasco and the fact that I haven't been able to keep a single appointment with the person at the temp agency with whom I most need to meet, I'm getting more than a little frustrated. No, wait, I passed frustrated somewhere about three weeks ago.

Of course I could probably get to an appointment with the woman this week--I don't seem to be fluish at all, I know where my Social Security card is, and I don't know of anything else that could stop me... aside from the fact that I don't have enough money to ride the subway at the moment. Am currently waiting to get some money the former housemates owed me, but not sure the landlord will give it to me out of their security deposits because I owe him so much more. Yet if he doesn't give it to me, the electric bill won't get paid.

In other news, I'm trying to become more cheerful and optimistic. Maybe I should just give it up and go to bed... for about the next ten years.
