An update that has been long coming...

So, it has been a few weeks...

So, didn't get any of the other jobs so now I am working my 32 hours a week at WalMart. It is all evenings, so at least there are no early mornings... It should bring in *just* enough to cover all my bills, and the slow selling of everything I own that is not necessary is paying for gas money and occasional food.

Otherwise, my Birthday was a nice one. Spent the day with Chris... We wondered around, found a really ghetto fabulous mini-golf course that was half falling apart, and had a meal at a nice place that is usually one of our favorites but ending up pretty comically bad because our server was a bad one for the record books. But, it was still very fun and because the service was so bad we did end up with a free gift certificate to go back again - not enough to cover one of their big fancy meals, but enough to go in for one of their appetizer happy hour specials and get a drink and some yummy food. Chris gave me a Nintendo DS and Pokemon Platinum... The geek in me was very pleased. I have played it during pretty much every lunch break and it has made me do a happy dance.

There have been a couple rough patches in the last few weeks, but nothing I really like to air out in full view of the interwebz... Never been a fan of airing my dirty laundry for all to see. I usually talk to friends one on one while I'm dealing with it, but beyond that it strikes me as kind of disrespectful to anyone else involved in the issues to go all public. Things look like they will be okay, though, I'll say that much.... just a kind of sucky rough patch.

Otherwise... Still looking for either a different job that will give me the pay/hours I need or finding a way to get kicked up into full time where I am now.

I'm also looking for a new place to live. Right now I am living about 25-30 miles north from my job, most of my local friends, and from the man. The last two or three jobs I have had have all been in that same area down south. Plus, my current area seems to have a penchant for rapid gunfire, screaming fights/domestic abuse, and a strong need for police presence that happens to have drawn weapons. My current lease is up at the end of June, so I'll have to get moving on that pretty soon.

Well, I am sleepy as heck so I will have to keep this as a pretty simple summary. Hopefully I will get better at posting more regularly...
