... don't ever think you're the only one when times are tough in your new age.

It's been a while since I posted, so I guess I should post a bit of an update. Although it's not like anyone really reads this thing anyway besides Jeff, and I talk to him every day, so he knows all this anyway. It feels good to write though...

Old Navy isn't too bad, I guess. It's still retail hell, but it's not awful. I'm working 40 hours a week there, which is more exhausting than working at Eckerd, for some reason. I think part of the reason is that the store's open later than Eckerd was, so some days I don't get out until 11 or so. I dunno. I'll be pretty happy to get my first paycheck from there, it'll help out with bills and such. I'm also too tired to really go out and such after work, so that helps me save money cause I don't have time to spend it. I'm just trying to stop myself from spending money on clothes at work.

I did have an interview last week at Infinite Media Corp. It went really well, I think. They gave me a page with 3 different html tables and told me to draw what they would look like, and they said I did the best out of anyone they had interviewed. That's a good sign. :) I'll know by the end of the week. I really hope this works out finally... that would be the best Christmas present ever.

This week's gonna be busy. I have work today from 1:30-10:30, tomorrow from 9-6, and Wednesday from 1:30-10:30. Then Thursday and Friday OFF! As long as all goes well, Jeff's coming down Wednesday night, then we're going up to New Haven Thursday for the Sister Hazel concert and meeting Kevin there, and then coming back down and chillin' out for Friday. So major yay. :)

This long distance thing is hard. It's not as hard as it was when we started dating though. Then it was simply frustrating, like, "why couldn't this have happened when I was in Worcester full-time still?" (although it probably wouldn't have, based on all events, so whatever). So then I'd stay in Worcester for a week and not wanna ever leave. I've adjusted a bit better to being at home though, I think having high-speed internet definitely helps out a lot... I can keep in touch with everyone much more easily, I get to talk to Jeff every day without fail, and it's helped out with the job search so much. I feel so unsettled though, I haven't been to Worcester in over a month. Again, with the needing a real, 9-5 M-F job, it'll make weekend trips affordable, more frequent and easier. Juggling trips to PA and MA after the end of the semester will be tricky though. The thing that would make me thrilled to death would be if I actually hear about the job by the end of the week, put in my 2 weeks at ON, then I probably wouldn't start the new job till after New Years. Then I could head up to Worcester for one last hurrah after Christmas, for almost a week, through New Years. Yeah. That would be nice. And purple flying pigs will come out of the walls and do a hula dance around a bonfire, because things always work out for me as planned. Okay, no more sarcasm. I gotta say, I'm not that pessimistic, because things do seem to eventually work out for me, just in the most roundabout fashion possible. :)

Yeah. I should really get out of bed and start getting ready for work, and maybe, just maybe I'll go holiday shopping before work. Or maybe I'll just play some poker and go shopping tomorrow. :) Yeah, I think poker might win. And I might win at poker. Yeah. Woo. Bye.

job search, work, relationships
