well crap
so, the job at turner has been pretty cool. i like having a real job in an office and all that cool stuff. unfortunately, ben and i have not learned how to slack off at work, and thus the project, which was expected to last at least into the middle of january, will be pretty much wrapped up by this thursday. so, while i was expecting to have a job until after my birthday, now i'll be unemployed by new years eve. my current boss says she's looking around for something for me in turner, but hasn't found anything and says to not count on her for anything. so i've been hitting the job websites, sending out resumes wherever possible. but if any of you have any hookups, let me know. but yeah, nobody give me shit about not wanting to do anything, because i want to be sure i can pay rent and all that stuff in the coming months.
i had a great christmas with both of my families. i had my family over for christmas eve at our apartment. casi and i got up early on christmas to do some cooking, then we went to my parents' for christmas stuff til about 1, then we drove up to casi's family in tennessee, hung out at her grandmother's, then went to her parents' house for the night and half the next day. it's really nice to be getting along so well with casi's family now. i just remember how un-fun things were last year, and things are much better now.
my sisters and i all pitched in to get my parents a set of new cookware, as their current pots are god knows how old. now i just need to collect from two of those sisters!
so i got woken up at 5am by мишка (mishka) this morning, yowling and throwing himself against the door, like every other morning. after getting up, feeding them, and trying to get them to leave me the hell alone, i went back to bed, only to be woken again an hour later. went out and fussed with them a bit, and went back to bed. then i get woken up to the sound of shattering pottery. кошка (koshka) has learned how to get up on our bookcase, and sent our amaryllis sailing over the edge. locked them in the bathroom and went back to bed for another half hour before having to wake up again, for real this time. then as i'm sitting in my room getting ready for work, i hear another crash from the living room, go out there, and again кошка has broken something, this time she's knocked one pot over into that cool "bong" vase that we had bamboo in. so that was shattered, and is no longer with us.
the little bastard cats are just fine.
anyway, i'm gonna get back to finding a job.
