| | A leetle update! This is, obviously, not a Cool Great Big Post, but I'm just keeping y'all up to date with my doings. There are a lot of them.
1) I work a LOT. Since I am the one-and-only maker of homecoming mums for Michaels of Overton Ridge, I clock twelve-hour shifts alllllllll the time and am basically made of overtime. This is, yes, exhausting, but the paychecks are nice.
2) I got promoted to Lead Sales Associate (a full-time, better-paid position) within like three weeks of starting the job. Unfortunately, they aren't allowed to give me more than a dollar raise for the first 60 days of my working there. Fortunately, I am guaranteed another raise after Halloween. It better be a good one.
3) Having a job, and therefore a second paycheck in the budget, is really dang good. Exhausting, yes. No boredom, oh yes. Adding to savings and getting ready for those big future someday steps like Moving to a New Place, Hunting for a Better Job, and Having an Adorable Baby or Seven. (All of these, it should be noted, are like waaaaaay in the future, and contingent upon circumstance.)
4) I still don't know a lot of people here, blargh. I am combating this in the best way I can think of: taking classes. Not the how-to-think kind of classes that (like Creative Writing, may it burn in a thousand fiery hells) drain you of all original thought or ability, but the kind that teach you how to make pretty cakes, and cook filet of sole in mango-and-chile sauce. And talk to the people that are in said classes and make friends with them.
5) I'm gonna go cook & eat something now. KBAI
