I get good news and bad news all in th'same day...
I took another look at the paper that me and m'mom used ('fore we got ahold of the apartment finder) and saw that there actually was an efficiency available in Belville...so i called th'guy and it turns out that th'one in th'paper was taken, but he had others...it'll cost 600 dollars a month..but that covers everything...power, water, rent, and somethin' else he said that i can't remember...it sounded like "ac", but it coulda been something else i guess...newayz...when i added up what i make vs. what i already pay out (Insurance, Gas for car, Cellie bill, a food budget, savings, etc) it came up to about 685 left over a month...which i'll admit is cuttin' it kinda close...but some tidbits t'know:
1) I averaged my budget based on a 32 hour work week....a bare minimum workweek for me is 36 hours, and i average 40...so in that respect i'm already comin' out a lil' better off anyway
2) true i'm workin' at one of the lowest payin' (if not THE lowest) jobs at th'plant, however i'm still makin' minimum pay 'for said position since i've only been on th'clock for about a month...i'm due one of my raises, and top pay for this position is 11...something....my point is, within a few days, i'll be makin' more money, which is an even larger safety-net...
3) if i decide i don't like it here, i can always keep an eye out in th'paper and find a real apartment once one's available...
newayz, nothin's in stone yet....i still gotta look at th'place...which i plan to do sunday...i may even be able t'drive m'self considerin' that Elton's informed me my car should be ready tonight...he's just goin' over everything with a fine-tooth comb to make SURE it's runnin' when i get it back, so i don't have t'do this over again...now on to the bad-news...
i apparently was wrong in my calculations of my on/off days at work...i was under the impression i was off the day before, of, and after My Night (aka "Halloween")...which meant i'd promised everybody in SC i'd be back on said night...but upon rechecking it, i'm in fact working the day before, of, and after halloween (*insert loud obnoxious crying*)...but i am off work the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday before hand (Halloween's on a Monday)...maybe some gathering of some kind could be arranged in SC? Or...an even crazier idea...maybe some of you folks could actually come to ME?...i'd most likely have m'own place by then....c'mon, SOMEBODY at least consider it....i'm goin' through a lot of trouble for this Anakin costume and would hate to think it was for nothing.....
oh well...i'm done now...
-Just a lil' trip inside my head...hope you enjoyed the ride...
