So, my first week of work is over. Huzzah? As much as I hate the thought, I really need another job, 'cause I'm not sure we're going to be able to pay rent on time next month. Or possibly at all.
I need to talk with Brian and see if he minds getting instalments. -_-
On the bright side, they have me working the coffee bar tomorrow and monday. Opening shift. Which starts at 5:15. Yes, this is a bright side. it means I can take a nice nap this afternoon and do my shit tonight and just not go to bed until I get home at about 9:30 (I'm only training this week, so it's a short shift). And then I get much fuller days the rest of the week, so instead of the 20 hours I worked this week, I'm working 28, AND I get overtime on Thursday because it's Christmas Eve. If I can work 28-30 hour weeks EVERY week, we should be okay. Of course, we might not be able to EAT, but I'm looking into food stamps. Whatever.
In other news, I ran a very short-lived ARG last weekend, that started early Saturday morning and ended early Wednesday evening. It was extremely spur of the moment, seat-of-my-pants kind of stuff, but the people that I know followed it were all very enthusiastic and very sweet and encouraging. In five days, they amassed over thirty pages of posts in the UF thread started for it. I'm in a game that started shortly before mine and is still running, and we only just hit 20 pages. Basically, it was the most extended fun I've had in a while, and was totally worth laying in the snow and mud for three minutes without moving as snow crept into the space between my shirt and trousers. The MOST fun.
So I totally have had Seanan McGuire's "Follow Me Down" stuck in my head since yesterday - I've listened to it so many times I actually know all the words. XD It's very fun, and it totally fits one of my OCs and her brother so very scarily well with the symbolism of the seasons and so forth and she's adopted it so now I have a Summer playlist with all of ONE song on it.
Anyway, I'm going to go play WoW for a little while whilst I drink my soda and get sleepier, and then I will go sleep, so I can cuddle my girlfriend. ^^ Oh, and, y'know, sleep.
ETA: ...note to self: When kept in the car during temperatures that keep sticking below freezing and are often below TEN, it's very likely that the 12-pack of soda is SLUSHY, if not frozen. Do not try to open the cans until they thaw.
