Well, I finally got a Netflix account. And they sent my first three movies. And our mailbox is broken. So we can't get into it. I've called the apartment complex office now three times. I actually spoke with a person yesterday. Nothing has happened yet. Argh ( Read more... )

Well, after the initial mishap with Randstad, I'm back there. Last week was my first full week of work, scoring standardized tests for 3rd graders from the state of Maryland.

Then everyone splits off to attend one class or another. I stayed in the "sanctuary" (which I keep wanting to call the nave) and attended the class on " ( Read more... )

Our church has Easter Vigil service at 6:00am. Last year, our choirmaster decided to give half the choir a break by alternating the men and women singing this vigil. This year was the women's turn to sing, but I wanted to go to the service anyway, and since I don't have a car and MARTA doesn't run at hell in the morning, I asked a fellow chorister ( Read more... )
