So........ since January 1st:
- 01.01.07, Mon: Started packing to move to Houston.
- 01.03.07, Wed: Started new job in Houston that is appx. 5 blocks away from the new apartment. It's a small web design company and it seems nice, but there's weird random little things that make me have that icky back-of-my-mind feeling. Oh well. I'm getting paid well.
Throughout this time, I am staying at the College Station apt. and commuting 2 hours every morning to get to work by 9am.
- 01.06.07, Sat: Finally finish all the moving, and have first weekend in new apartment.
- 01.09.07, Tue: Officially get electricity in the new apt, all taking so long due to poor planning skills on both myself and my roomie's.
- 01.10.07, Wed: Get a promotion at the new job. Move up from data entry/clerical to HR assistant. Still have icky feeling, but I make a wonderful paycheck.
- 01.13.07, Sat: Go home for the weekend to see Mommy and work at my old restaurant just for shits and giggles. Damn, I missed those guys.
- 01.16.07, Tue: Go into work and start off that morning doing HR asst., get back from a lunch break being told I'm going to do accounting, and by the time 5 o'clock rolls around, my boss is wanting to make me in charge of hiring/firing/keeping track of all the at-home web designers that are employed w/ the company. Weird feelings all around, but till I get internet hooked up, I don't really have a way for looking for a new job. Damn, I'm gonna miss the pay.
- 01.17.07, Wed: My job fired 3 people, found out that they are negative in the bank of appx. 13,000. After I got home, I broke my fucking toe by accidently slamming into the coffee table. *grrr*
- 01.18.07, Thu: I wake up late and have to call my boss. Not a big deal, since almost everyone is late everyday. By the time I walk out to my truck, I see that someone broke into my truck. My driver side window is smashed to hell with the results shattered out in the parking area and across my front seats. Nice. I call my job again, to tell them that I cannot come in, since dealing with a broken window in this shitty neighborhood, with the 3rd day of rain in a row is now my main priority. Cable guy comes at about 11:30am to hook up cable/internet. I get a call around 1pm from my job saying I'm fired. Around 1:30pm, my roommate gets home, and now the cable isn't working. And I need to buy a router for the internet to work. Around 5pm, I talk to the girl from the accounting department at my now old job. She says that I was fired because "I put the company at an inconvenience by now showing up". Whatever. I knew I should have trusted that creepy gut feeling.
- 01.19.07, Fri: I enjoyed my day off. I got my window fixed for all of $75, spent some time with a friend, and then took a 4 hour nap in the middle of the afternoon. 'twas great.
Shit happens. Life happens. A lot has gone on in the last three weeks, but ya' know, it's not all that bad. Sure, I could have gotten pissed off about quite a few things in that time frame. Just for the simple fact that within 24 hours I managed to break my toe, have my truck broken into, lost my job and the cable went out. Who. cares. I got the window fixed. I'm calling a person who offered me a job last week. Tomorrow, the cable guy comes out to fix the TV so that I can once again veg to re-runs of CSI: Miami and Las Vegas. I'm going home this weekend for a friend's 21st b-day party and spending time w/ my mom.
*smile*
So, how have you been?
