it seriously feels like i haven't been to st. augustine in forever. its been 5 months. i'm not sure i've ever gone that long w/ out some st. augy dog fix. i've been dreaming of green trees and the salty air. i only go for such a short period of time because i just started my new job and it would be kind of absurd to ask for a lot of time off. but regardless it will be nice. its going to cost me an arm and a leg. everyone else got these cheap ass tickets because they have all of this flexibility. also i have to rent a car. of course i'm the one who is screwed. it always works this way every year since i moved from st. augustine. i'm always the one with all of the commitments to jobs. the one who spends time alone on holidays. its actually been that way since i was 15 and took my first job. i will always regret missing out on new years 2000 in new orleans for the fucking shell shop! i swear if i could take one thing back it would be taking on responsibility so early on. i wouldn't have had all of the normal luxuries other teanagers had if i didn't. never had a day off except major holidays until after high school. wouldn't have been able to afford to have fun if i didn't work. but damn it i had a car and shopping sprees and good food and beer and whatever else i wanted with my 6.50 and hour.
the first snow happened last night. i like the first snow of the winter.
the new job is going well. kinda boring really. but i'm not fully trained yet. seems relatively common sense based. and if there is one good thing i will say about myself its that i have common sense. a little confusing with the terminology which is occasionally the opposite of what it was at my other job. i miss the lunch breaks i took at the old job... we had a lot of fun at "the pub" other than that... i'm quite content i guess you could say.
