Life.....the real one, not the Show

It's been a hella long time since I posted.  Truth be told after getting my job, wow a month ago on Monday already, I haven't really had time for anything.  Working the normal 8-5 shift sucks sometimes.  Plus the office is a good 35-45 minute drive from my house so I'm out the door around 7:10-7:15 and I am not getting home till sometimes after 6.  I think I've picked up on everything so far.  I basically request medical records from doctors and hospitals at the request of the caseworkers.  Some kids might be getting adopted or may be in foster care long term and the placement needs to know if there are previous medical conditions and what immunizations they've had and such.  It's pretty boring and tedious work.  I type out the requests, get one legal sheet notorized, and fax it or mail it off.  I have my first one on one with my supervisor on Monday so I guess I'll find out then how I'm doing so far.  It's just kinda stressful because I'm trying to catch up on the work left over by the last girl while at the same time doing the requests coming in and have to transport kids to doctor's appointments which as we all know can take a few hours.  I'm enjoying it though and it's nice to have a big fat paycheck every 2 weeks.  It's also dangerous for me because now that I actually am making good money, I find myself spending more, knowing I will still have hundreds left in my account.  I need to curve my spending a lot better.  I went on a huge Twilight shopping spree yesterday with childofpisces  at hot topic.  I got an awesome t-shirt with the Cullen crest and all the Cullens and Bella on it, some pins, key chains, and a posters.  I'm trying really hard not to get my expectations too high for this movie because I the higher they are the more disappointed I might be, but I'm so super excited.  I personally love and enjoy the series and I just can't get over how hot Robert Pattinson is.  I bought the movie companion and he is just smokin'.  Based on the clips I've seen and the interviews I've read, it's gonna be a huge success.  The budget wasn't very big since unlike Harry Potter, there weren't sets to build and green screen stuff.  It was more let's go to Oregon, film shit in the woods and at a school, do some wire work, make Edward dazzle and call it a day.  I'm confident that the rest of the series will be picked up for movie deals.  It just gives me something else to look forward on top of Half-Blood Prince.  I'm excited again for Half-Blood Prince after watching the lastest trailer.  I don't know why we are getting one so far in advance, but after watching it a few more times I like it more and more.  Though I admit I can't stop watching the Twilight one.  Last bit of news, I got an iPhone 3g!!!!!  I was going back and forth the day before because I know my parents wouldn't want me to spend so much on a phone my first pay check out, but listening to the bitching and trying to convince me not to buy it, I went out that Saturday night and got it.  Best.  Decision.  Ever!!!  I love it soooo much!!!  I can't put it down and it's come in handy so many times already.  I've named it Edward Cullen because not only does it dazzle me, but I am in love with it.  I got the 8g because frankly, I already have an 80g iPod video so I didn't really need the 16g one.  I'm in the process of making my iPod just filled with my podcasts and videos.  I have a program that can rip dvds and convert them to mp4's so I will be doing that to all my tv dvds and movies so I have them wherever I go.  I watch tv at lunch, when I get one, so it's just nice to have my shows in the palm of my hand for plane rides and such.  My podcasts take up a lot of space as well because I listen to way too many so I figured that it would be put to better use to save my music for the iPhone so I can play it out loud when I'm driving home from work.  So yeah if you have the means to get an iPhone, get one.  You won't regret it.  I have no complaints about it so far and I don't think I ever will honestly.  So that's my life for the past month in a nutshell.  I'll try to post a bit more.
