Update!
It's been ages, apologies.
So, I got back from Australia all in one piece. The very next day (or so) I set about trying to find a job in Warrenton. I landed one at Borders (a bookstore) eventually, and it's not too shabby. I like the folks I work with and most people who come into the shop are really pleasant people, so all is well. I also enjoy being around books all day. It just makes me feel smarter. Actually I really like my job. I look forward to going to it, and I don't mind staying extra hours. The only time I get cranky at it is when people yell at me for things that aren't my fault, or when I haven't eaten in too long. I would get cranky under those circumstances in any situation, though.
I'm looking for another job in addition to my Borders bonanza, since they only let me work up to 32 hours. I applied at Outback and got as far as an interview so far, so we'll see. I'm worried I'll choke on the smoke in the restaurant because VA still lets people smoke in restaurants. Oh big tobacco, do you always have to get your way? I'm also worried I'll buckle under the weight of the mounds of cow I'll have to haul around. Hey, at least I'll have nice arms!(?)
I've been swimming a fair bit, getting back into shape (sort of). I hurt my foot sometime somehow and it won't go away, so I think I should hold off on running for a bit. It sucks, I want to go soooo badly because the weather is starting to get perfect for it. Alas...
It's cool being around Warrenton and seeing old friends and familiar faces. I feel like I'm getting to know the place a little better from talking to so many different people everyday. I kind of like it. If only one of them would hire me.
