Well, my work life is probably going to take a drastic turn. I've agreed to start doing truck on Fridays, which means I'm going to be going in at 5:30 every Friday morning. If the boyfriend agrees to picking me up in the afternoon, then I'll also start working days from 7 AM until 2-ish ( Read more... )

I bought a new Rumi book last night and I'm excited. As soon as I saw that it was marked down, it was so mine! I also bought a recipe book on pasta (also marked down). I figure that even if no one else wants pasta, I will and I have no qualms about cooking for myself ( Read more... )

lsujester had me play We ♥ Katamari. That game is damn addictive, let me tell you, and you don't see it coming either.

But that's all right.

I have a file at lsujester's, but I don't really get to play it over there so I started a new one here. Less than a day later and I'd beat the main objective of the game. :D I'm now going through and just trying to beat ( Read more... )

I've donated a bit more money. Not a lot, about $3.00 total, which I know isn't a lot, but they've been donations through things (at the gas station, LJ) and it keeps me on track as far as donating goes ( Read more... )

Last night we had a store party. Apparently, annually the company gives each store money enough for the employees to go out and eat. We went to Dave and Busters. It was a really nice night. It was the first time that I'd been in a group of people where I hadn't felt alone or on the outside. I actually felt like part of the group ( Read more... )

Firstly: I got a 25 cent raise at work. Go me!

Secondly: I can put a checkmark next to "Donate to charities." on my list. LJ has a VGift that will donate money to Women for Women International- so I bought one. :) It's not much, but I figure I can afford it and there's no reason not to. Even if it is only a few bucks, it's a start, and that' ( Read more... )

I like my current teacher. He's tough, very tough, but that's kind of why I like him. He's not letting students get away with things they should be called on. He's tough with the grading. After the first day an assignment is late, you lose a quarter of your points. The second day it's late it's an automatic zero. I know that if he compliments ( Read more... )

I got my review at work today for the two months I worked in 2006. Not bad. Average. What it should have been. Most of the "needs work" stuff deals with my becoming more comfortable working there and improving my product knowledge, both of which are time things ( Read more... )

I got new glasses. Everything's doing that funky bendy thing that things do when you get new glasses. It's very weird ( Read more... )

I am no longer a seasonal employee of Lakeshore Learning Materials. I am, instead, a part-time employee now. Time for celebration! (And by celebration I, of course, mean an extra Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper and chocolate. ;) )

I got some great compliments upon finding this out, as well (and yes, I am about to brag). V, one of the managers, said ( Read more... )
