That stupid former supervisor of mine called again this morning. He didn't leave a message, but I know what he wants because he left a message on Marcus' phone on Friday. Their stupid Filemaker server crashed last week and he expects me to help them fix it. Screw that. I don't work for you anymore. You saw to that. I'm not doing you any favors. Either the owner can fix it (he's somewhat computer literate) or you can pay a professional. Even if I wanted to help them (which I don't), I would have to drive down there to fix it. Like I remember anything I did with Filemaker over 3 months ago. I want to send him an email telling him that unless he's offering a full-time job, quit calling me. I won't, though. Creep.

I made a decision this morning that was really hard. See, I have an obsessive compulsive personality (it's why I don't let myself go gambling). You should see all of these lists I made for this stupid puzzle trying to find all the pieces. Well, this morning I'm walking away. I still had 14 pieces to find, people had found 8 more than I, I don't know where else to look and it quit being fun two days ago. I stopped. It's tempting to open the searches and start again, but I've wasted too much on this already. I think that's why I'm a little sad and a lot angry. Not because I didn't win, but because I let myself get sucked into this. I've gained a couple of pounds this week because I haven't moved from in front of this computer between both job and puzzle hunting. I'll continue the job hunt, but I need to quit wasting my time on this. My house is a mess. I'm a mess. Congratulations to whoever wins it.

I've been in a current events deprivation mode since I've been unemployed. If it hasn't had to do with the weather outside or current job openings, I really haven't paid much attention. It's been strange since I used to get constant news while driving around in my car or at the pizza job. I was not really surprised that I hadn't heard about an unidentified amnesia victim found here in Denver when I read an entry on a
fellow Colorado blogger's site yesterday. I was surprised at how long ago the story happened—September 10th. I've definitely been living under a rock, lately.
Anyway, I just got an 850koa news alert in my inbox that said the man has been identified and a news conference has been scheduled for this afternoon. According to the
Channel 7 web site:
DENVER -- A man who doctors say has amnesia has been identified, Denver police said.
Police said the man's name is Jeffrey Ingram. He was previously being called "Al" until police could identify him.
Ingram, 40, said he found himself Sept. 10 in front of Denver's World Trade Center.
He eventually found his way to Denver Health Medical Center.
Ingram's fingerprints are not in any database, so police were unable to immediately identify him.
Several television stations aired his picture in hopes of identifying him. As a result of the media coverage, family and friends recognized Ingram and called police Sunday morning.
Ingram remains in the hospital and said he is grateful for the media's assistance in getting his story out.
Ingram's fiancee, Penny Hansen, reported him missing Sept. 14 from Thurston County, WA. She said she had not seen Ingram since Sept. 6 when he supposedly left to Alberta Canada to visit relatives. He never arrived and his family and friends said they had not seen him since then.
A missing persons flier reported that in 1995 Ingram experienced an episode of amnesia during a routine trip to the grocery store. He was located nine months later at a hospital in Seattle, WA.
It's a great thing that somebody identified him. How scary must that be that this is not the first time this has happened to that poor guy?
