Will I Make It?

Spoiler: I'm talking about hockey. I know, the title could refer to many other things: Will I make it through unemployment to a new job? Will I make it through the day when these fantastic summer temperatures fade away? Will I make it to the toe of the sock any time soon, or completely derail on the second Wingspan?

But no, I'm talking about hockey. Specifically, tonight's Bruins game, which starts--starts!--at 10:30. These West Coast road trips! Bruins games are generally done by ten (home games start at 7, road games in this time zone sometimes at 7:30), not just getting ready to go.

Complicating the situation is that, first, I was up a bit late last night (went to a friend's stitch and bitch, had a great time, got to hold her four-and-a-half-month-old grandson, it was great), then had to get up this morning to go to an unemployment thing* at the career center, so I'm not starting as well rested as I would like.
*The kind of thing one sometimes has to attend in order to keep getting unemployment.

Aside: It was depressing. The first meeting I had to go to wasn't so bad, but this one didn't strike me as well (and it's the same woman, so it isn't that). I got there early but she was late; she was wearing a chunky bracelet that jangled every time she gestured, which was near-constant; to stress the idea of being organized (and keeping track of where you send resumes, when, to who, when to follow up, and responses received), she mentioned that if you send out 80 resumes in two months, it's hard to remember the details. Eighty resumes?! How many proofreader/editor positions does she think are out there? Not that many, trust me, nothing close. But if she thinks that's a reasonable amount.... jeez. I walked out feeling like I'm never going to get a job.

End aside. Remember, I was talking about hockey! Perhaps I was grumpy because I'm out of the habit of being tired. What do you think: will I make it through the game? It would finish around one, which is later than I usually stay up, but I have done it before ... I just don't know.

Or, if you don't care to theorize on that, what other topics could that title refer to?
