Today’s my first day of my new job. I woke up at 6:00…6:00! Me?!? Gee, not anxious/nervous/excited are we?

The gig at the Tipperary Inn went rather well. A big “thank you” to everyone who came out.

Yesterday, I met up with my Mom to go shopping for new shoes; my new job allows casual dress - jeans everyday - but no “athletic shoes” and I still had a $20 gift card at Kohl’s. Grandma came with us since she had a shirt to return and could take advantage of a discount for Kohl’s credit card customers ( Read more... )

So today I signed my Offer Letter from RealPage, did my drug screening (WoW, they get the results in seconds!), and ran a few other errends. Now, I'm relaxing at home, planning things I need/want to do for the rest of this week to be ready for starting my new job on Monday ( Read more... )

I GOT THE JOB!!!!!

I start Monday, August 21!!!!

…here's to hoping I can just make it to that first big paycheck!

I met with my former employer and they wish to give me a job! It doesn’t compare to this other opportunity - about ten grand per year less and no benefits. That means that I would be just scraping-by with very little in way of a financial buffer ( Read more... )

Just got off the phone with the apartment office: they confirmed receipt of my payment, so I’m not getting evicted. I asked the woman on the phone if she would leave a note for the person who signed the eviction notice and was told that person no longer works there ( Read more... )

A HUGE thanks to koyote19. Thanks to her, I’m not being evicted. At least I don’t think so.

After picking up the loan from her, I stop to get the money orders for the apartment office. As I pull away, I hear an awful sound. What is it? I’ve got a #@$^% FLAT! Are feckin’ KIDDING ME ( Read more... )

My sister's birthday is coming up soon, so yesterday my Mom and I took her shopping at Kohl's for clothes as an early present. We found some items for her: some jeans, a pair rather cool boots, and socks. While there, I noticed that the store is selling for only five dollars Go Dogs, Go! by P. D. Eastman. It's a book I remember reading at my ( Read more... )
