ugh...work
So... work's going well. Living with Rosemary's awesome (free room and board, plus horse access and good company) but I find myself wanting to get away from the barn more and more just because of social claustrophobia. I really want/need my own place. Just the feeling of sense of ownership. I dont know why it's so important to be, but I feel a pressure and like I owe people something when I'm not entirely self-sufficient. As for work, it's wicked easy. I literally sit at my computer all day, surf the web, listen to music, read if I feel like it, and work on bringing my comp back up to date after its infamous crash. There's also a 32" TV with 200 channels, but I've yet to watch it. I think I'm going to download Tribes, Starcraft and/or Guild Wars and get to playing them on here, because I have that much free time. I know, I'll probably be bored by week 2, at most.
I'm aiming for as many hours as I can. Somewhere around 55 would be nice. Overtime at $9/hr base pay kinda rocks. So far, I've worked 2 days (Sat and today). In those two days, I have worked (or will have worked) 31 hrs. I've calculated it out. Starting at 12:01 am on Sat and ending 11:59 pm Sun, I will have worked 31 hrs, slept for 13 and had 4 hrs TOTAL downtime (including the 30 min each day to get ready and the 40 each day to drive back and forth), adding up to a perfect 48 hrs. That's INSANE. But if I can keep this pace up, I'll make mad money. This week's going to be an extreme case, but if I keep getting these long hours, I'm bound to make about $700-$900 before taxes this week alone. And that's NOT adding on the 40 hrs I get paid for to complete my computer course training. Yowzah. And my parents said I wouldn't be making any money this summer... The only thing I hate is the loneliness of the job. Plus, a dark, big building with lots of machines turning on and off at random tends to put one a little on edge :-p Alright guys, later!
