still haven't found what i'm looking for
life has generally been all right lately. if you'd have asked me a week ago when i planned on getting that new car i was always talking about i would have told you probably sometime in october. but as it turn out, here i sit in harrison with the dodge caliber waiting for me out in the driveway. last weekend mom and i saw a sign at harold zeigler saying 0% financing for 72 months, so we stopped in (that's an awesome deal after all) but it turns out the caliber wasn't one of the vehicles that applied. but we were there and of course got to thinking about it. i took the D in the next day for appraisal and ended up making a deposit. they found me a car with the options i needed and at a reasonable price and with only a few minor setbacks, i was in my new car (sans D, *tear*) by Wednesday of this past week. i was TRYING to keep it a secret of sorts but it turned out i mostly told everybody by now in some form or another. ica was there when i bought it and she was the first to get to go for a ride. we got dinner after (no movies though, we just ate instead cuz it was pretty late by then) and headed home.
i almost feel though like some people think i'm, i don't really know... maybe flaunting it? this could be my usual paranoia of course, but i'm not though. it does seem odd that a 22 year old just-out-of-college girl can afford a brand spanking new car, but i can. i wouldn't have done it if i couldn't. the payments are reasonable and for only 5 years (which is something a lot of people have to deal with anyways) and although i did have to get a little loan from mom and dad (i still owe them but at least its interest free!) i'm not worried. mostly its cuz when i told angie she looked at me like i'm nuts. i hate it when she does that. i'm not stupid, you'd think she'd have figured that out by now. and what's better is that i practically filled up my gas tank for $32 last night. just about double that in the durango and you'd have about the same percent of the tank filled up. mileage is AWESOME.
but anyways, enough abuot that. work's all right, boring but okay, and i'm home this weekend working at putt-r-golf. got TONS of hours yesterday and with the weather being just about the same, i'm likely to have another 10 hour day on my hands. its all right though, brandon is still there and i LOVE working with him, and bernard and linda are still awesome so yeah, the usual. the living situation was generally fine, until i found out thursday afternoon that kristin got fired again. i can't believe it but what in the hell can i do? i'm lucky she just paid me back or i'd be likely never to see that money again. its not okay cuz she has debt up to her eyes and i'm so low in the bank account now that i'm unlikely to be able (or willing at this point) to help her out. jessica will have to float her some money cuz i can't do it anymore. its not good, that's all i can say, considering her attitude is she's "too good" for the easy-to-get jobs, no food service for her. if she doesn't have something in two weeks (it took her over a month last time) i'm gonna have to suck it up and talk to her about it because its just ridiculous.
but aside from that crap, life isn't so bad. i hung out with alan all day on friday and we had dinner and when down to eben's for a bit that night. something to do, so that's cool. petey came home and got his balls chopped off friday too, and y ou would NEVER know that cat just had surgery. from the second we picked him up the only difference from his usual self was his shaved butt. at least he's feeling good (*rolls eyes*). tongiht after work i'm going bowling with some people and tomorrow i get to go to the employee breakfast for PRG and other than that i'm not suer what's going on. well, other than heading back to GR to have to face my jobless roommate (*rolls eyes again*). back next weekend to work again but this time i'm doing the photo thing. OH and that reminds me, wendy heinig asked me to do timm's wedding on the 15th but continues to leave me in the dark to all the details (aside from the fact that they want my biggest package which means i can finally replenish my bank account and maybe even pay mom and dad back some already! *sigh of relief*) so yeah, updates later i'm sure. but my omlet it ready so i'm OUT
