I can has job!
Hooray! I have a well-paying, weekday job! I am officially a cleaning lady. The profession seems to run in the family; my grandma and aunt run a franchise of Maid Brigade, and my brother has been working as a janitor in a hospital for the past year. I find it amusing. Anyway, the company I'm working for (not going to name names, just in case something happens and I feel the need to bitch about them, which I don't foresee happening anytime soon) caters mostly to businesses, and I'm cleaning one office building five nights a week, another two nights a week (which I'm hoping to drop soon because I don't get home until nearly midnight and that's exhausting) and another on Sundays. It's not too hard, I mean cleaning is pretty self-explanatory, but it's taking a bit of getting used to, especially the physical aspect of it; my feet are getting used to holding my weight for an extended period of time again and my muscles are sore from moving around and bending and wearing the backpack vacuum! Backpack vacuum is actually pretty nifty. Wouldn't call it comfortable, but it sure beats pushing around a fifteen-pound block of metal and plastic. So anyway, I enjoy it.
Anyway, moving on. Happy Winter-een-mas, everyone! As I have said before, my goal was (is, I suppose) to beat FFIX before the holiday is up. I have become distracted. Distraction comes in the form of big, spiky ball that rolls stuff up. That's right. Katamari Damacy. Why do I love this game so much? Don't even bother asking me, I have no idea. But I do love it. So much, even, that I have already made a crochet version of the Prince of all Cosmos, who just so happens to be my favorite "cousin" in the games thus far. Yup, Prince all the way. I've actually made two versions of him, without a pattern, and am working on a Dipp for my buddy's birthday (shh!). I hope to find sequins for her, because that would kick ass.
So... Josh keeps bugging me to play FFIX, but I got so sidetracked from the storyline playing with my chocobo (whom I believe I have told you is now capable of flight and can hang out in Paradise, which is one thing I don't believe my brother ever did, pwned!) and now just don't feel like playing it. I do still want to beat it, though, so perhaps I can fit in some time to make Josh come over and force me to play until I'm into it again. I'm almost done with the third disk! But that means I have the whole fourth disk to go through, which isn't that bad, though, because last disks are always shorter than all the others. I don't know when I'll be able to play, though, between work and school and school work I should be doing... The job I'm doing today in an hour shouldn't take more than three hours, so I should be home by five or six, but then I have to (really should) do some homework, especially study French from some of the classes I missed last week because I slept through them. I'm going to talk to my boss about not doing the airport job because it keeps me out until nearly midnight on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Perhaps I can compensate by taking this Sunday job. I'm sure she'll understand, she's awesome like that.
I'm just happy I have a real job again. $9/hour starting, $9.50 at 90 days and $10 at six months. I'm pumped. Also, I donated to BioLife for the first time last Wednesday, and plan to go again tomorrow. It's nice being able to buy things like milk and bread without paying $40 dollars for them in overdraft fees. Yay for money!
