Job update

For those that care, Heres an update.

I went for my interview yesterday at Comcast, and looks like I'll get the job. It's not 100% yet, they said they'd call be within the next week after they go over my test scores and get the drug screen. If I get the job, it will start in April, on the 26th, so I may have to collect a few weeks of unemployment (last layoff date is May 2nd). All depends on when they pull my number, and they are laying off by seniority of current position. Sucks, I been here a year and a half, but only this position for 6 months. Anyway... The job starts at $12.06 a hour, a drop from my current $13.13 an hour (and that still creeps me out). But thats more than I started with here, and there are gonna be raises and such. In addition, I will get free Digital Cable (2 boxes), free Internet, and even free phone service! That's (goes to check)... WOW! $200 a month!! Thats a serious savings. Not that I'd normally pay for all that. The most I'd have is about $100 a month if it wasn't free.

Another good thing is, someone offered me a car for $400. It's a fried of my mom's, and Geo Storm. In fact same year as my first car, in the color wanted (blue), instead of the red they gave me. It needs a lil exhaust work, and is a bit beaten up and worn down, but it has a new transmission, and will get my ass to work, so thats all I care about. Now I just gotta wait for more money to arrive.

Thats the real down side. My next check is going entirely to rent, so I'm depending on the money my mom gets in to get the car, furniture and whatever else we need till the following check arrives. But hopefully that will be enough for my new computer, the car and getting things on track.

Whew.. thats alotta "IFs". Everyone wish me luck, and keep fingers, or whatever, crossed!
