just hang on...
Today was my last day at k0hlb0rg. It went pretty smoothly. I was hoping to score some credit and get extra ca$$$h on my final paycheck, but it was not written in the stars for me. Credit is mostly luck and I think I just don't have any luck. The guy who does stuff (my now-ex boss-type person, or one of them) was always having pep talks with me about credit and how important it is and I'm all, "Yes, sir! I understand b0rg policy, but I fail at attracting people to your corporate desires!" Oh, well.
I bought another cute grommeted tunic and a few pairs of boyshorts and even though I didn't have a card anymore, this really nice lady whose name I sadly forget used her key to override and get me my associate discount anyway, for the last time.
I do have to quit spending money. Since I acquired my own checking account, I've gotten:
- 2 pairs of shoes (and I'm selling one pair on eBay for those of you with smaller feet than me; auction is here and I already ordered another pair in the next size up so I guess it's really 3 pairs but if I recoup the loss on the auction (I only paid $7.50 for them) then it will be fine)
- several CD singles
- 1 DVD
- about 4 shirts that I paid for, several that were gifts from momz0r
- 1337 Scrabble tiles (But DUDE, what is cooler than 1337 Scr4bbl3?!) and a present for Dad and Smeg each
- an ice cream cake, 2 CDs, pajamas, and gourmet chocolates for Mom's birthday
- pair of 16g earrings that I lost the fucking internally threaded end bead to!
- a book for Smeg that has yet to come in and I'm miffed that the auctioneer doesn't seem to care about my problems (he hasn't answered my message) so I may have PayPal get my money back if he's not going to send me anything
- a $6 purse
- pair of clearanced knee socks
- some food
- damn Scary-Go-Round signed comic book that is wayyyy cheaper than I could've gotten it for off the comic site so it was a good buy, just at a bad time when I'm already buying everything else!
It's pathetic, I know. X\ Chesh said everyone goes a little crazy when they first buy stuff online. I fully plan on NOT BUYING ANYTHING ELSE except groceries until the Scones start to arrive. And then we'll go downtown and to the mall and I also have Birthday Presents to purchase for various Scones and Sconefriends, so that is all perfectly legitimate.
I guess I could've kept working. I know all my friends and my sister say it was best for me to quit - fuck, -I- think it was best that I quit because I'm going to be virtually unavailable starting Monday (a ton of appointments next week scheduled all over the place, then Chesh flies in the following Tuesday night and I will be Gone Having Fun) and I was unhappy and I can't stand the customers. My coworkers were all really nice - well, nearly all - and everyone was so GLOOMY today. "I heard you're leaving, Jess... :\" "Today's your last day? =(! Maybe you can come back and work the holidays!" "It was nice having you here... but why must you go?" Stuff like that. I feel loved! Just... guilty.
I was really horrible today, though. I fucked up several times and kept blanking out on what I was doing. I went to bed around 7 AM, meant to go by 3 AM, and actually tried to go just before 6 AM but some emo got in the way. Anyway, I slept really fitfully - I woke up every damn hour between then and the time my alarm went off, and I'd panic, thinking I was late, until I read the clock properly. So I'm just really tired and out of sorts. I plan on going to bed early tonight. If I'm still online at midnight, YELL AT ME to go to bed. I need to go to bed early again and get a proper night's sleep.
In related news, Smeg had her sleep study at the hospital the other night. But she failed - she couldn't sleep all night. Apparently it happens to a lot of people, and no small wonder - they tape you up with wires and you're being monitored and it sounds really creepy! Maybe she will write an entry explaining it in more detail. And maybe not. And maybe we're just capital flash... *sucks*
Oh. I DID get my room cleaned and I'm going to get some yellow-tinted primer soon to prime the wall that Will Be Yellow. 2 craftgrrls suggested I tint the primer to avoid looking at white again and it's a genius idea. I also had Dad mount the Crayola poster we made out of a poster frame and wrapping paper. IT IS SO ADORABLE. I can't get over how cute and awesome it is. And it's wrapping paper!
Having my room cleaned and rearranged a bit and my clothes all newly sorted makes me feel a lot better and vaguely accomplished. Perhaps I'll get back into knitting soon and I'll have time to get the house ready for Sconecon 2006. w00t, I'm excited about the arrival of Chesh, Veer and Sarah!! :D We'll have good times.
Time for showerz and dinnerz.
