needlegrrlfrom yesterday -
so all day i have been trying to order this corset off hottopic that is on clearance.. and their online ordering thing has been screwy. it's ha; the price it was, though and i wanted it even at the original price, ven tough i knew it wasn't worth it.
i got paid today, which was a novelty, of course, i also found out how little we get to take home - i am used to govt jobs, where i think they take out less money.. i am not sure. but out of my $330 check, i am taking home $264... which seems like so little. i guess because it went under the $300 mark.. but then i think about it, and htink - i would have taken this job anyway, even if they had only offerewd me $250.. and i am making more than that! and i doubt i would be making this much at a 40 hour a week job in chapel hill. and they paid me for to come here and live, for able, which i definately wou;dn't have up in chapel hill.. and i get to meet new people and make contacts. yay for me.
another lovely day - i got some crappy-ish jobs, but definately not the crappiest they could have been.. we got our third stutcher today, and she is neat, very thin, her name is diana. she seems nice, though. she took a whole day to do the cuffs, too, so i feel justified. :)
i am wanting books.. maybe i can convince josh to mail me some books.. i am sure he is tired of my requests for things, though.. i just don't have my card to get to the public library, nor do i know how to get there - it may be a little far for me to walk, specially if i check out books. but it would definately be the cheapest way for me to go.. i could also look for books for my palm, and once i get my palm software (which josh has sent me, being the lovely boy that he is) i can use it.. of course, that will use up more batteries, but that is ok.
my sunburn seems to have turned into an itchy, rashy thing.. ick! very bizarre, i think.
wonder what is for dinner tonight.. i love this cooking thing! i think i could do black beans and rice, or pasta, or even uncle ben's.. i will be needing to go back to the grocery store soon, though - i am almost out of dinner stuff. i have about four more nights worth, though, so i should be fairly safe for now. maybe i will get a little more adventurous in dinner stuff next week.
and today -
josh chopped all his hair off... it's interesting - a hedgehog look, he says. we'll see - i'll see it in a couple of weeks. jen says it looks good, so i must believe her for now. :) she went to go and vsit him, which is very cool. i am excited about going back to atlanta/athens, because then we'll get to hang out wth jen, and miss robyn some.. and i will get to see my family.. driving four hous to see my mother will really seem like nothing after the typical five and a half just to see josh. :)
tracie graduates today. I was sitting around yesterday, thinking - somehing important is happening... and lo and behold, it is! miss tracie is graduating. yay! and at some point, we will go and see the fairies in maine.
need to figure out a job for the fall - i can work anywhere, although i really need to work theatre. at least, if i am to go back to chapel hill, i should. i still don't think they realize i am not coming back.. i don't know how to make it any clearer, though.
and i don' know what she expected this summer jo to do for me.. i mean, yes, it has made me ralize i love theatre, and like working in it; it's also made me realize i don't ike working at unc; and i'm just doing alts stuff right now, i am not building anything.. Mary, the more experienced stitcher, and Danielle, the first hand, are the ones getting to put things together.. which is probably good, because all e have currently are the demon industrials, and i don't like those so much. e have some nice industials, but only two andsomeone is generally on those - danielle, actually. so i probably could put stuff together on one of those.
stitcher meeting this morning.. yay. I wonder what it will be about. we have one every saturday morning, just to check up on us, i think. i want my id card, so i can go tot the library tomorrow, and get some more books - heinlein, if then have them, or maybe some anne mccaffrey. don't know what i'll do with a whoe day off - i wish there was a movie rental place close by - i would catch up on all the movies i've been wanting to see.. especially the ones i want to see that josh didn't = lik erin brockovich.. i am still not used to this keyboard, which is why my posts are so misspelled... sometimes you have to it a key twice, or harder to make it work.. or i am just not hitting it right.
i think the people at work think i am a spoiled brat, as i mntioned that I brought alng laptop for email and such, and they got that tone in their voices.. well, i was told that there was no email access here (which is totally not true! ) and i would rather spend the money, and do email and lj from home, than not be in contact with anyone! phooey on them. they can go out and have sushi and such - i'll sit here and play n my computer, and not spend that money!
5 more weeks!
