Well, for those who don't know, my truck is wrecked. A moron whipped a Hail Mary left turn in front of me on Limestone on the evening of the 6th. Thankfully, I was only doing 30 or so, and had a second to slow down, so the damage is minimal. His insurance IS paying for it, too. In fact, I got a settlement for the value of the truck, and salvaged it ( Read more... )

So, having a three day weekend last weekend, I decided to make the best of it. My good friend Stef had been asking me to come see her in Chicago as soon as I got a chance. She wasn't free until Friday afternoon, but I decided to go for it. I spent Thursday night, after work, at my Grandma's house, so I could take off for Chi-town from a point ( Read more... )

Soooo....I've been working my new job now since before Thanksgiving. I can't say too much about it, cause a lot is confidential, but basically I'm an office worker now. The pay is good ($10/hr) and I am getting positive reviews. I am pretty comfortable with it, and proud to have gotten it. Looks like I'll be heading back to Lexington to move into a ( Read more... )

Guess who got the job offer at [Fortune 500 company they were applying for]? Why, that would be ME! My job would be from 4pm-midnight, Monday through Friday, plus maybe a few hours on Saturday sometimes (at time and a half) at $10/hr, looking up customer info and keying it in. No call center crap or any of that. HOORAY ( Read more... )

Okay everyone. Those who are really close to me know that my previous moving arrangement sorta fell through on account of not really wanting to, um, be the caretaker for my housemate. Not really part of the deal. That said, I found a much nicer place a few miles outside the city for about the same going rate. All's cool on that front and I start ( Read more... )

Well gang, I've finally started getting moved into this basement room. $200 a month for rent, and they let me have cable and internet for free, so it's a pretty nice deal. I got my smaller desk, deskchair, nightstand, and some other small furniture moved today, plus my desktop PC. I'm starting to feel pretty comfortable here. My friend Hamed says ( Read more... )

Wow. Seek, and be polite, and keep doing works of good, and the Earth Mother will provide ( Read more... )

Well gang. I had almost gotten rid of this LiveJournal thing. I had almost given up on it. However, I find myself again needing it to get feelings off my chest ( Read more... )

So. My new window glass has been installed in the truck! YAY! Still need to wash it cause it was awfully nasty at that junkyard. The window came from a whole door that was cut off a wreck. It's decent though. Once it's clean, I'll barely be able to tell it from the original. Taking the window out of the old one and putting it in ours took us about ( Read more... )

So...I went to an awesome birthday party for Ariel's friend April tonight! Just got home. Had a blast. April had her party at her place. Her husband Adam was there (a good friend of mine these days) since he was off work, and quite a few nice ladies were there. I met some cool people. We played Taboo, and tried to play Twister but we were all ( Read more... )
