yeah, so, I've gots me a job working at Southeastern Book Company updating their used book prices on Amazon. Wow. I haven't been able to put it that succintly yet. I'll have to remember that. Its a pretty job, just sit around and input ISBN numbers and alter prices according to competition prices. Today was my fourth day working. We work a 9-5 shift, Mon-Fri. Suppose to last 6-8 weeks. I'm hoping for eight, that'd be sweet. Its easy, just gets mindnumblingly dull after a few hours. The two 15 minute breaks help, and lunch is like starting the day fresh, but it still gets old. yeah, wow, I bet that was really boring. I find I actually have a good work ethic once I start working. (assuming I'm being paid) I work as fast as I can to get as much of whatever I've got to do done. I priced around 600 books today, whereas everyone else did around 400, I think. Makes me feel all warm and spiffy inside. (can one feel spiffy?)
On the weird side, the only station that we can get on a radio inside the office is Froggy, a local country station. My cell phone also gets no reception inside the walls, though it works fine outside. It appears to be a normal metal building, though it might be a front for a secret government project for jamming signals....hmm...
I got a flat tire last night on the way home from Draffenville. Had to call my dad to help me change it, I put the jack in the wrong place. But I got new front tires this morning and I know owe my parents around a hundred dollars. Such is life. My fault though, I should have replaced them with one of my checks at Seapac instead of wasting it. I'll be able to repay them by next Friday though, since I'll get a full week's worth of work this week.
On an off note, we need to have another party soon. And play lots of Last Dance with Mary Jane...for certain reasons.If only I could dance. ~evil cackle~
