Ok, im bored. I'll update. And boy is there a lot of shit to say.
So I got the job. It's an avian (and some mammal) zookeeping position at the Palm Beach Zoo in Florida.
The last couple of weeks have been incredibly stressful.
First off, I found a roommate (thank you rent.com). She seems really nice, doesnt mind my kitties, and has lived there most of her life and has friends I can tag along with (meah). So that ended stressor #1.
I've been trying to find an apartment in West Palm Beach and there pretty much arent any (that arent in the exact center of a ghetto). So we went with one called Turtle Cove (I love Florida by the way) that is I think only 3 miles from my work. Hells yeah. And it's in a good area, and my roommate's friends live in the complex, so it should be all good. So that ended stressor #2, but added a stressor #3 because I cannot move in until March 8th....and my boss wants me to start working before then (which is understandable because they've been wanting help since like October).
Sooo...I magically found out that an aquaintence from highschool (Jimmy) is living down there. He just moved down there for work. He offered that I could stay with him until I am able to move into my apartment! Holy crap. He doesnt really have many friends yet, so he's excited for me to come down there. So I'm like the luckiest person ever...I get friends the moment I arrive in West Palm Beach. Stressor #3 eliminated.
There are really only 2 other stressors....my cats and my crap. I guess when I get down there I'm going to put a bunch of furniture and stuff on layaway (most importantly a BED), so by march or april I can have some stuff in the apartment. Luckily though, my boss said she will give me an extra day or 2 off once I get my apartment to make a trip back here to pick up my cats (so I dont have to keep them at Jimmys, hes allergic) and bring another car-load of my crap down.
All stress has been eliminated. I just need to get my stinky ass down to warm, sunny, Florida! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I am leaving February 6th (as of today, my plans have changed a thousand times so who really knows when). I cannot wait to get started with my life as a career woman. Yeah buddy.
Other than moving....hmm...I've been working at Inland Aquatics. It's pretty cool. My hands are all fucked up from being stung by anemones and corals and being bitten my crazy ass fish. But I get to play with an octopus and fish that dont bite me. Ummmm....yep that is all thats going on. The end.
Oh wait...2 weeks ago I had my feet kissed and my toes sucked on. Thats the most action I;ve had in a long fucking time. Thank you Ramzi.
