lots o'changes
Eric has moved in with us at my MOM'S house... yes a shock but his roommate he was living with in Lockport away was lying to him, and their electric got shut off and he had to be out within 4 days... it was just a weird situation and honestly, its for the best that that skeevy weird roommate is out of his life. Well he moved HERE to Rochester, but he is A) broke and B) needs to find a job. Its crazy tho that he moved here really cuz of me, haha step up in the relationship or what? My mom has been incredibly nice and supportive with it all. Eric might have a job coming his way though actually, he has an interview on Tuesday, so fingers crossed. We havent been sharing my room/bed because thats just disrespectful in my mom's house and believe it or not i can be a bit old fashioned sometimes... we set him up out on our back "porch" altho as u may know, its not really a porch but a room thats surrounded in windows that runs the length of our house.
Our plan is to move out into our own place as soon as possible... saving money is HARD tho and apparently the real estate prices are a lot higher here in Rochester than where he was living. He had a 2 bedroom apt for $350/month including utilities where he was... a 1 bedroom here is gonna be like $600/month, although we are finding some smaller ones for $450. Anyway, thats the latest with that, and it is pretty worrisome sometimes cuz everything is just so up in the air! Eric has been really helpful around my house though so my mom is loving that!
I've been moved departments at work and tomorrow is my first day in the new area, I'm getting trained for like a week or two. I got moved to Tax Sale, which is when people's houses are about to be sold at auction (i work for a company called First American, they do proptery tax reporting, but CitiMortgage and PHH outsource through them to pay people's property taxes who have loans with them... i work for CitiMortgage.) I'm nervous cuz it's a lot more stressful of a position and it's harder work for now more raise in pay. And get this... the other day I found out that cashier's at Aldi's (grocery) make more money than I do!!! Thats RIDICULOUS, i knew i was underpaid but i didn't think it was that bad. I actually have an application for there, cuz well, I need a part-time job anyways when I go back to school to get my Master's and i could work part-time there without taking a pay cut for normal hourly wage. I'm not going back to school till Fall '08, but hey if I got hired there fulltime now, i'd go. I know it doesn't seem glamorous but eff it, i'd be making more money than at my "fortune 500" job, I wouldn't be so stressed over a stupid job all the time, and it'd give me the flexibility to work part-time when the time came for it. Its not like either job is the "career" i will have... I'm just biding my time right now, saving up money, and waiting till i can get my Master's to do what i REALLY want to do (teacher).
Well, I need to go shower and spend some time worrying about work tomorrow before I go to bed.
