An update...
Ahhh.. been awhile, huh? Well, mainly cause I've been BUSY. Working the hotel job and working a little bit at the other job. I was supposed to have off Sunday night, but I got called in. So, anyway, the situation before blew over, I came in the next day and she didn't mention anything about it. Guess maybe we both were a little strung out, so to speak, from this and that.
I tell ya, I like my new job, I like it a lot better than my old job... hell, sometimes when I'm working my old job I think, "I should really freaking quit this place." Granted, maybe some of those thoughts are coming from days when I have to work that job AFTER I've already worked the other one...Ahh, we'll wait and see, for now I can do both.
Well, good news I get PAID tomorrow. It's about time too, we're on a bi-weekly pay scale at the hotel. I'm hoping to have enough money to get my eyes examined and get new glasses. Here's the thing, i have a pair of lenses from an older pair of glasses that are actually BETTER than my current glasses, but the frame on them is broke. So, I'm going to get my eyes examined, see what my vision is at, and then have them scan my old lenses to see how far off they're are, and decide from there whether or not it'd be worth it to get entirely new lenses as well as frames. Sadly, for my prescription, lenses are pretty damn expensive.
So, dunno.. hopefully I'll be able to get something better without breaking my budget too badly.
Let's see.. in other news, stopped by the homeless shelter and visited my friend John. Apparently he's gotten THREE job offers in just one week. Damn.. dunno how he does it. Course, two of the jobs are working with two carnival-type companies (John left town for about six months awhile back, working with a traveling carnival) and another is a management position at a local hotel (that's another of John's many past jobs.) He said the shelter is okay, a bit on the depressing side though. He said of the people there, only about twenty percent really hit in the "down on my luck, but trying my best to change my life" section, and the rest are just kind of sitting around moping about this and that.
Dunno... I guess the saddest part is there's a couple families in the shelter, about twelve or so kids.. my heart really goes out for the little children who have to be in a place like that.
So, hopefully, he'll grab a decent job and starting making some money and whatnot.
In other news, my friend from work Ed is going to be moving back to California at the end of MAY (not August, as he originally thought.) Turns out his roommate doesn't have any money left, and the apartment they're renting at will only let Ed stay on at half the rent for just another month. Man, been trying not to think about it, but I'm really gonna miss him. Ed was a lot of fun to be around, you know? Like me, he's a bit on the nerdy side, and plus he laughs at almost all my jokes (anyone who does that is cool in my book.) Plus him and Matt are like the first two friends I've made in the past.. well, God only knows how long.
(sigh)
Hmm..,maybe if I talked to him a bit, he'll take me with him...
Whoa.. there's a weird idea... I mean, there's not really a hell of a lot to keep me around here. Ahhh, who am I kidding? I mean, yes, I believe I'll have to move eventually to get a decent job in my field, but across the country? As much as this place might bore me at times, it's what I'm familiar with.
Besides, not sure Ed would dig that idea...
Well, I'm getting tired, I'm going to go to bed.
