So for those of you that don't know. I recently purchased 55 shares of Starbucks stock for $1000. I doubt many people follow business, but they're stock price was the lowest its been since 2004. The current chairman has regained his position as CEO and is looking to cut costs where the previous CEO did not care much about. So though there has been a slight decrease in the stocks performance these past few months. I see that it will be thriving within the next year. Hopefully this will be advantageous for me (I know this is too short term to say anything about but i gained 80 bucks in a day woot! lol). My IRA has been fluctuating into a negative profit but I'm not really worried since that is such a long term situation that I feel the mutual funds I've invested in will pick up and thrive in the years to come. Work has been work and doesn't pay much. 21st birthday is coming up soon and if any know it, I like to gamble. I've been looking into certain games basic strategies and looking into card counting (though don't tell the casinos ha ha). The lack of sales tax and cheaper rent in Oregon is really appealing to me right now, I'm kinda excited about it. So ya I'm making myself seem like a capitalist pig that only cares about money but hey, I would like some money to actually use for once as I'm sure everyone else would as well. I don't really care about being rich, I just want to live comfortably and be able to fund certain people/organizations/projects.
Alright enough of that junk. So work has been filled with drama lately. Tony hates me as he should because I can make his life miserable if I choose to do so (and gave him a taste of). So we had a chat for like 40 minutes to "clear the air" but I don't feel that actually worked since I heard from other sources that Tony was talking to someone about everything we talked about and criticizing me BIG time. SO I might have to show him what I'm capable of and that he isn't so safe up on his throne. One guy that was supposed to get promoted and had been doing managerial duties lately was just told that he will not be promoted. As of 1/14/08 I will be the only shift leader and 1 of 3 managers.
It's so weird I keep feeling as if I'm leaving tomorrow.
So more stuff that people may not know. I'm moving to Ashland, Oregon and attending South Oregon University. I will be living in an apartment their on my own. I have been accepted already, and my residency has been approved. So technically I'm an Oregon resident and not a California resident. Weird.
Also all my classes transferred over completely without any problems so that was just nice to see =D
Some people are silly and need to stop thinking that people are out to get them.
I've decided that I need to get back on some behavioral experiments. The ones on myself continue as usual to get rid of little habits I have, but I am truly a difficult patient.
THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH TIME IN THE DAY FOR ME TO DO EVERYTHING I'D LIKE TO DO!!! BUH!!!!
Well I could go on and on with random things but I'll save that for later. Hope everyone is enjoying themselves.
(>^.^)> BYE!!!! <(^.^<)
