Ahhh...
I finally got some sleep! I have been behind for so long. I guess I will start with that and backtrack. Last night I went to bed around 12:30, which is pretty normal. I didn't know if I'd be subbing today, but, as it turned out I didn't. I could have, but none of the jobs were worth getting up for :) So I slept until 5 a.m. and then there were calls from the sub line. It called until around 7 so I didn't get much sleep for those two hours. I fell back asleep. When I work up, I figured it was almost 9 a.m. Little did I know it was nearly 11 a.m.! Amazing. I must have really needed some sleep. I haven't been doing anything this morning...just sitting around. I am off to Rite Aid in a bit and I will run some errands on the way. Diane wants me to go to 'burg tomorrow but I don't think I will, I think I will finish unpacking the house. I will shoot to visit 'burg next week.
OK, now the backtracking. I don't even remember when I wrote in the journal last, but I will take it from moving. Everything went fine with that, but I have been going non-stop since then. Any days I have had 'off' I have been unpacking. I am down to only a few things left to truly unpack (bedroom and pictures, mostly). Since moving I have been subbing all the time, basically, and working at Rite Aid 26 hours a week. On top of that there is a lot of stuff going on at church that I am very involved with (we are looking for a new pastor, and that is more challenging than it sounds). There is also full time job hunting going on. I turned in an appliction for two different open positions in the Federal Way district. Shonda is dying for me to get on there. One of the jobs is at her school. We'll see. I should have applied for a job open in Sumner and one in Auburn, but I just haven't had time. I need to buckle down and keep my eyes peeled now that I think things are starting to slow down. Oh, and there is also the fact that the French/English teacher at FP interviewed for a position in Bellevue on Monday and I'd love to take her place if she leaves. I really do hope she gets a job for various reasons. That would be my dream job for sure.
I've also been talking with a few guys...as if I've had time for that. One has seemingly vanished off the face of the earth, but he doesn't have 'net access so it's tough for him to keep up. I hope he's online soon and maybe things will work out. If not, oh well (yeah, right, as if I ever give up that easily). The other guy is older so I'm not sure he's my cup of tea, but I will write him some mail today or tomorrow. There are others too...my how popular I have become...and no time to be popular with!
I'm still thinking about the big trip to NO to get Diane moved back. I have done some research on $$ and it is a pretty penny, to say the least, but I almost think it's worth it because if I don't use this as a vacation I probably won't do anything 'vacation-y' and that would be bad. I need a break...and more than just not working. I need to see how the money works out at the end of the month and see if my dad needs some dough back that I borrowed. With all this subbing I ought to be able to get ahead...you'd think.
So what else to talk about? I got my full deposit back on my last apartment and I will use that toward the deposit for Dingo at this apartment. She is adjusting quite nicely. She doesn't really like going outside, which is fine, but sometimes she does get on my nerves she is inside so much! I still really like it here, but the person above me just moved out and I hope I don't get a noisy person upstairs now. It is just night and day compared to the old place. I got my deposit check--like I said--and they just threw it in an envelope and sent it...no note...and they didn't even write the address right on it! The post office corrected it and it finally got to me...7 days after they sent it. AT least I did get it. I am so glad to be moved from there.
I'd say things are looking up. I've been a wreck (it seems like) for the past few weeks because it just didn't seem like I was going to be able to keep up. I did, and now I am finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Things are still a little tenuous at Rite Aid since the other shift supervisor quit/got fired. She got hired over at Safeway, so I am happy about that. I talked with the manager yesterday about her vacation check and he is going to check on it today. They are such slackers when they owe pay. I should call her today and give her an update. I hope they find a new SS soon for us...it's very stressful out there when there are only three members of management and I'm only part time!
So I better get to it...E-mail writing, picking things up, and heading off to work. It sure has been a restful morning. Yay!
