The Killers!
Muahahaha I now have The Killers tickets!! Ok, well I don't have them ON me... but they're being mailed to me! I'm excited. Shannon and I will go, and we will have fun! The concert is on Thursday October 13th. The seats are Section H row 9 at the Coliseum. Thanks again Dustin, for ordering the tickets. I really need to get myself a credit card sometime soon. And when I do... don't let me buy random crap I don't need off the internet! (I know I will be tempted to do so)
So I finally signed myself up for driving lessons. Damn it's expensive... $745 for the ICBC approved course. Luckily my Papa and Nana, and my Dad are pitching in a bit, so I don't have to pay it ALL myself. My first lesson is on Friday September 9th, so please stay off the road. I don't want to kill anyone. After driving school is done, I'll be eligible for my N at the end of February, and hopefully I'll have found a car I want around then, or shortly thereafter.
I also finally called in about my missing pharmacare. They don't know what happened, or why I didn't have it, but someting is being mailed to me so that I can resign up. That will be nice, you know, so I can actually get back my 80% that work covers. Kinda pointless in having benefits when you can't use them. Speaking or work, I also signed up for the work stock purchasing plan. 10% of my paycheck will be used to buy EA stock, at 15% off the regular cost. So as long as the stock doesn't go down *crosses fingers* I automatically gain 15%. I think that I'll keep the stock until I decided to buy a house, in which I will sell the stock to pay for the down payment, plus any other money I have happened to save up. I know I'm only 20, but I've been really thinking about these tings lately. I figure the earlier I start planning for my future, the better. My boss figures he's saved up about $30,000 in stock over the last 3 years, so I'm hoping I can do the same. At the moment I'm pretty sure I'll still be working at EA, and hopefully I'll be more than just a tester.
I really want a place to call my own. Mostly so that I can get a puppy, but also because I find that living with my parents is starting to annoy me. I don't have a curfew, I bairly pay rent, so I really shouldn't complain.. but lately I've been noticing that my room, really isn't mine. No one asks before they go in there, my brother just takes things, as does my mom. Both my mom and dad bitch about clothes on my floor... what does it matter if there are clothes on the floor, it's MY room, and you don't have to see it, because the door is never open enough. The rent that I do pay should mean that the room is mine, and the people in my family should at least respect me enough to ask me before they do in there, or take things from me. Ok, now I'm just bitching... I'll stop now.
