So, today was supposed to be my first day of work. I got up around 5:40. Left around 6:15. I got there right at 7:00, so I should probably leave before 6:15 from now on. Geez, that place is exactly in the middle of nowhere. If it was any farther from nowhere, it would actually be somewhere. So, I had to stop at the security gate again, and they had to write down all the information on my driver's liscence, then they had to call up to Human Resources to make sure I was really supposed to be there. Then I had to go up to Human Resources to check in. Then she just told me that she didn't have clearances for me yet, so I had to go back home. Geez, all that for nothing. :-(
Now I have a couple of things I have to do. I have to go by the leasing office to get some general information like phone numbers and when trash pickup is. I have to get them to fix my porch light cause it's dark and scary at my from door. My air conditioning doesn't work on auto. And my pantry door doesn't stay on it's track and there's no doorknob. So, yeah, that all needs to be fixed. You're probably thinking my apartment is some hole-in-the-wall, but I promise it's not. It's really nice. The appliances are kinda old, but they're fine, and they're really nice compared to the ones in my ATL apartment. AND OMG, THERE'S SO MUCH FREAKING COUNTER SPACE AND CABINET SPACE!!!!! :-D And I have my own bathroom connected to my bedroom (something I've ALWAYS wanted but never had)! And I have a walk-in-closet that's about 3x the size of my closet in ATL. And the best part - there's no stairs!! Lol, for those of you who don't know, my apartment is ATL is 3 stories. You go in on the bottom level and go straight up the stairs. On the second floor is the living room, dining room, kitchen, and half bath. Then you go up another flight of stairs, and our bedrooms and a full bath is on the third floor. So I could get used to this no stairs thing.
Then I have to go to the bank to get some cash and quarters. And I need to get some information about a student credit card and a Roth IRA. I'm planning on putting about $1000 into retirement this summer. :-D GO ME! Did I ever mention that I love this job?
Then I have to go by the furniture rental store and order my furniture. So, maybe I'll have a couch by tonight.
Then I have to figure out how to get a phone book without buying phone service.
Things to do when I get money:
~Go grocery shopping
~Go to the Human Society to get a cat
~Go join the YMCA
Woo!! I'm so excited!! :-D
