I'm going over to my friend Lynn's house and having a movie night with her and the kids. Wholesome family entertainment should be a nice change for a Sat night lol.

I'm now a Budd boy! My official start date is May 23. Except for dental my benefits start in September. I'll be getting 1/5th to 1/4 more pay than at Kuntz.
