lately i've been under a concerted attack from insomnia. it's not that i'm not tired, it's just that my bed sucks. there's never a comfortable position and although i wake up refreshed, i never have a continuous night of sleep. i once welcomed sleep as a relief from the day but now i dread hours of struggle. of course my first instinct is to lj about it.
i don't know how many of you know, but i've had my new car for a week now. i got it last week and there's already almost 400 miles on it. so yeah, i can hang out with you all now. work is going well. i got my first paycheck friday and i made $220 for a few days of computer training and mostly standing around and shooting the shit with the dudes i work with. i'm getting $8/hr for training right now, and i start selling on this upcoming sunday. i'm nervous for my first sale, i hope it's good. after training is over my salary will go from an hourly rate of $8 to 4% commission on every fridge and 6% on every freezer. i will have no base pay, so my paychecks will all depend on how good i am at selling stuff. the guitar lessons i teach are going well, too. the kids are learning a lot and one of them is getting really good, he's naturally talented. it's awesome to see how much progress these kids have made over the past few weeks; almost as awesome as it is to get $30 cash after i teach a half hour lesson every monday. i'm going to teach the kids their first song tomorrow, i'll see which song they want to learn.
so yeah, that's what's going on in my life. things are generally good; the summer is exactly how i want it to be. my mom is still in india, she won't be back for another four weeks. my dad and i are faring pretty well right now. i'll see what this upcoming week holds in store for me, him, and us.
