I haven't updated this in a bit, so I figure I'll whip something up right quick before I go to bed. Have to be at BJ's decorating graduation cakes at 7am!
Moving is moving! Security deposit has been paid and I'm packing my non-essentials up. Move-in date looks like it'll be the 10th, right before I leave for San Diego for five days. Yeesh. Things ( Read more... ) -
Moving updates!
Sam and I were approved for the apartment, pending background check. But neither of us have committed a criminal offense so we're all good on that end. Sam's going to drop off the security deposit on Monday. Hooray! After that I'll slowly begin packing up my room, and in the coming weeks we'll but various housewares and furniture ( Read more... ) -

As a quick note, I'd like to say that things at the BJ's bakery have been easy as cake (no pun intended) so far. I know basic cake decorating skills, how to bake cookies, how to bag a bunch of pastries and breads, and other stuff. I have to stand up for my whole shift but other than that it's not hard. All my co-workers are nice except for this one ( Read more... ) -
Tomorrow, Today and Yesterday
Finally heard back from BJ's. Tomorrow morning at 10am I have a six-hour orientation. I'm assuming it's so long since decorating cakes takes time to learn. At least, I'm hoping that's why it's so long. Guess I'll find out when I get there. My mom's going to take me to Kohl's today to get some new work shoes. My current pair of skater sneakers aren' ( Read more... ) -
I got the job!
Sure did! =D I'll be decorating cakes at my local BJ's Friday-Sunday from here on out. Took my pre-employment drug test, which I'll pass, right after the interview was over. Now I'm just waiting for a call back to see when orientation or whatever starts, and exactly how much I get paid. Hoping for $7.50/hr, which is $.25 more than minimum wage. $8/ ( Read more... ) -
Things of the now
I went to the doctor for my follow-up appointment yesterday and she says the blockage on the right side of my septum is being caused by swelling. I sure hope she's right! I'm supposed to be getting a reorder prescription of a post-surgery anti-swelling medication but it got lost in translation and Acme is still trying to figure it out. Hopefully I ( Read more... ) -
Good deal!
I totally landed that clildren's book illustrator position with Mainstay Publishing, you guys. So excited to start working on that! I signed their freelance contract and mailed it off yesterday, so they should get it tomorrow, considering their mailing address is only ten miles from here. The pay for this job is good, and I'm very much looking ( Read more... ) -
New beginnings and things like that
Today I got the splints removed from my nose at the doctor's office. Septoplasty splints look like this. These things span the entire length of your nasal passage, so they had to be at least an inch-and-a-half long. And I'm like... HOW THE HELL DID THAT FIT UP MY NOSE? Anyway, after having those things clog up my nose for five days it was nice to ( Read more... ) -
Augh
Earlier this afternoon I learned that a next door neighbor/childhood friend turned himself in today for charges related to the hazing beating death of Florida AMU drum major Robert Champion back in November 2011. Upset and unbelievably mad. Of all the people in that band who could've beaten that poor man to death I never thought Ryan would be one ( Read more... ) -
Nose goes
My septoplasty went well yesterday. If you don't include wisdom tooth extraction this was my first ever surgery. I was waiting in the pre-op area for what seemed like an eternity before actually getting it done, and when I woke up from the anesthesia I felt like Mike Tyson knocked my face into next Tuesday. I was miserable and sore and crying, ugh ( Read more... )
