Phew, finally a chance to sit here and write a bit. I'm listening to some tunes from Sky.fm right now, going to work in about 20 minutes. So, back to the vague statement from last time. I finally decided to give this job a rest, at least for the summer, possibly (probably) longer. My last day full-time is going to be May 19th, but might be shorter depending on some other plans.
Today I had an interview with the recreation department for the city...I'm thinking that this is just a volunteer position, but that's ok. I have an interview tomorrow at the UPS Store, so hopefully that goes well and I get hired because if not, I'm going to be searching for a job quick! The thing is, I told my boss that I already had a job lined up and that I'll be working at this business in FoCo. I just don't want to have to get a job in town where I might have a chance of running into my staff. Oh well. I'll still be an ER, so I'll probably work here and there to cover shifts and stuff, but yeah, if all goes well, I'll be able to get the UPS Store job and start part-time or something if they let me and then move into full-time after May 19th.
The CRAPPY thing is that we start our new schedule this coming weekend I guess. Which means that I work Thurs-Sunday...wtf. Ha, oh well. If the hours weren't so crappy, I wouldn't mind, but it's 5-10 Thurs, 3-12 Fri, 9-9 Sat and 12-10 Sun. How much worse can it get? The thing that's going to keep me going is that I'm stopping on the 19th...but hopefully that Monday the 15th. I'll see if I can get out of it.
I would apply this this desk clerk job for the Best Western but it's like being built still and I'm not sure where to apply. It just says apply in person, but I don't know. I'll try to get an app or something tomorrow maybe.
But yeah, I'm in like that transition phase so it'll be a little weird for a few weeks.
On to the good news. We're officially going to have keys for the townhome on Friday! Sucks that I'll probably be working Sat and Sun pretty much all day, but fuck, such is life.
No word from the dog people yet. Hopefully soon. I think Laura was going to e-mail to make sure that our application was received or something. Other than that, the new house thing is going well. We're starting to pack everything (well, Laura has done much of it) and we've got utilities ready and stuff.
Last weekend we were in Fort Collins and I spent quite a bit of money getting stuff for the house. Namely tools like a circular saw, jigsaw, drill, etc. I spent about $160 for that set. I'm all pumped up to build stuff for the new house now. I also bought some new clothes and, holy hell, new shoes too. I haven't worn it yet, but I'm going to be breaking them in here pretty soon. I hate starting to wear new shoes. They are just so bright.
But anyway, I have 15 or so minutes left to get ready for work and stuff, so I'll catch you later!
P.S. I guess the other bigs news is that I'm finally debt free...from loans, from credit card debt, etc. It's a nice feeling. I'm going to try pretty hard to keep my credit card from being used. It's evil for sure.

I'm being late again with my posts. Anyway, the biggest news since the last time is that my loans are FINALLY done. The cool thing about that it that it's paid off and I still haven't used my tax return money yet. That'll probably go towards house stuff, like tools, desks, chair, etc.
We're moving in roughly 2.5 weeks! Not that moving is fun. It's never fun, but hopefully we'll be staying here for at least a couple years...it's crazy that we've moved every year since I went to college. That's a lot of moving.
Working is going ok. Things seem to be on a "smooth" cycle again, if you know what I mean. Other than work, hanging out, I've been playing WoW still. I finally hit level 60 on my mage character a few days ago. It wasn't that big a deal as I was waiting for it to be. I'm starting to go down in interest though since I hit 60. I started a priest character, but I HATE having to level up AGAIN.
Nothing else really. TJ STILL hasn't put up a blog yet nor sent me his brother's home address so we can send him a thank you letter for the living history farms experience.
The weather is finally changing to spring and it's been getting warmer and warmer. It's raining even. I like the rain although it makes my car dirty. Tomorrow is supposed to be a hot one. I don't like summer just for the fact that it gets so hot sometimes. I'd rather be cold than hot.
Right now I'm trying to see if there's a way to get my old laptop back from my Mom while I get her a cheap desktop computer from Best Buy or CompUSA or something. I saw some cheap eMachines for like $380.
A few more weeks until we get a dog! I hope we get the ones that we are looking at on the border collie rescue website. We're going to send in the application sometime this week. Exciting.
Laura is done with her homework now, so I'm going to go and head to sleep. I'm tired as hell.
Laters.
