Wow, I didn't do a whole lot today but I didn't just sit around, either. I got the car completely clean after church...which was quite a task. I had really let it go too long. I vacuumed it, cleaned the windows, cleaned anything that wasn't fabric, then armour-alled anything that wasn't fabric. I got all the garbage taken out also. I got all the car CDs organized and they are ready to return to the car.
After all the car stuff (over an hour!), I came in and played SimCity on the comupter. Then I chatted a bit and eventually ate pork and beans and watched QaF. I chatted with Diane, of course, who is working on a million projects down at school. She didn't work on them much today, it sounds like, but she is still busy with them! I chatted with Allen, who works at a Rite Aid in Redmond. He called in sick today and was all worried about it. He made me sort of mad (not like screaming) because he went out last night even though he was feeling sick and was tired...he was supposed to work at 10 this morning and yet stayed out until 2. I told him that he shouldn't have done that...he might have felt fine this morning if he would have chilled out last night. So we chatted quite a bit. I think he's pretty nice, but obviously not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I talked to another guy that lives in Seattle and is anxious to meet me. He wants to do 'coffee' sometime. We'll see...he sounds very nice but he is older and is a business man, sort of. I think he is in his lower 30s.
I can't wait to move...have I mentioned that? I would go into details about the challenges of where I am, but instead I will look forward to leaving here at the end of the month. The new place is very nice compared to here, but it is in a pretty big complex. I have never been one for big complexes. It has a washer/dryer in the unit, fireplace, lots of closets. It has a deck or patio (depending on if I choose an upstairs or downstairs) and will let Dingo live there too. It is larger than the place I have now and is newer (yay!). Like I care, but it also has a pool. I will be dropping off the application tomorrow and I hope to hear back from them Tuesday or Wednesday.
I am back to Rite Aid tomorrow (yippie). I am not scheduled to sub tomorrow, but you never know what will happen between now and then. I am scheduled on Wednesday and I am off from Rite Aid on Tuesday and Thursday so maybe I will pick a couple days up then. I'm not sure what to do about White River...I need to get my namebadge back before i can sub there. I have still been too busy out at FP anyway, though. I need to apply for a couple of jobs...I guess I will hit those up on Tuesday. There is a position at Washington High School called 'language arts' but it says that an English endorsement is OK. At FP they are hiring for a Language Arts/Drama position...but I don't know what you have to have to teach drama. I was really hoping they'd post a simple English position and then I could be a shoe in. Shonda came over and gave me some tips on updating my portfolio for if I ever get an interview. I need to update the resume' for the new jobs, but other than that, they should be easy to submit (they already have a file on me since I sub out there). I should write an E-mail to the English department chair at FP and see what is up with that drama stuff. Good thing I rehashed this otherwise I wouldn't have remembered!
OK ... time to watch TV or do something else. I am getting computered out.
