back where i started AGAIN

well, the living in van buren has been an abject failure. i
don't blame john or me. we TRIED to find jobs, and the
local employers weren't cooperating. interviewers seethed
with jealousy when they learned of our qualifications. the
ASSumed we'd be bored or quit the jobs -- like high school
dropouts don't quit jobs.

linda has just about moved us back into her house before
john and i discussed it. i still have a bad taste in my
mouth from webb city. linda said and did some hateful shit.
maybe she's easily led; she said ashley and lester
complained about us. well, they're no picnic either. i
don't want our possessions around lester either. he has no
respect for anyone and that includes himself. now poteau,
fort smith and fayetteville are an hour away. i must drive
two hours if i'm to work a decent job. maybe i'll find
something in clarksville or russellville. i hope i do.
anyway, i'm grateful that willie and linda so graciously
opened their doors to us. i can't depend on my relatives
for shit. i truly detest them at times.
