Things are a'changin 'round these parts. First off, I'm finally moving out of my brother's house...thank cheesus! As much as I've loved hanging out with my nieces and nephew, I've got to say that the idea of having a REAL bed to sleep in makes me weep tears of joy. Okay, maybe not literally, but I seriously cannot wait to sleep in a real bed on Friday.
Second, as some of you may - or may not - know, it's hard to get a job interview at BYU as a non-student worker or as someone who has never attended. I put in two applications for the bookstore on campus thinking that I'd get a rejection email. But I didn't. Yesterday, I had a short phone interview with a girl from the e-commerce department of the bookstore and she said that as soon as the HR department reviews my application, that they'll give me a call. I'm pretty hopeful. While the position isn't a permanent one, I'll be thankful for the extra money. If I get this job, I'll get to have a real Christmas this year. I'll also be able to pay my rent without feeling like I'm being stretched far too thin money wise.
Third, I finally got my first paycheck from my job. Long story short, there was some sort of mix up about how much I'm being paid and then my boss got locked out of the system to enter my hours. Instead of getting on Friday like everybody else, I got paid yesterday morning. Thank goodness. It's been two months since I've received a paycheck. And you know those people who say that money can't buy you happiness? I don't think they've never had money or have gone without for a long time. I know that money doesn't buy happiness, but it does make some things so much easier to deal with.
Anyway, things have been pretty good. I haven't been getting a lot of sleep lately. Mostly because I've been trying to function like a normal person during the day. Working graveyard shifts doesn't let me do that. Ever. After taking a 2 hours nap this morning after work, I've been on the go. I'm thinking that I'll need another "nap" before I go to work tonight...and lots of Diet Coke.
