What's Happenin
Wow. I know it hasn't been but a day and a half, but I feel like I haven't updated in a long time. Hmm...addiction much?
Right. So the job. I got a call from Grace at 2:00 Monday afternoon telling me that Gapeesh, the restaurant that I work for, closed its doors for business that morning. Right. So, out of the job with no notice, warning, and no savings. Yup yup. But, as a last night thing, there was to be a party at the managers' house (they're housemates) that night. I figured, why not? I'm never going to see these people again, might as well go. And so we did.
I wound up getting plastered, and slightly stoned. We were there from 10:30 to about 4:30 in the morning. It was a crazy wild party, and the best time I've had in a long long time. For the first time ever, I wasn't putting up a front in front of these people. It was really fucking nice. Too bad it was the last night. Some homoerotic tension, 4 beers, a few glasses of wine, 3 packs of smokes and a couple drags off a joint later, we were on our way back.
And thus, my first hangover ever yesterday. And I am unemployed for the first time since I turned 16. At first I was majorly freaking out trying to decide what I was going to do. And then it dawned on me that I do have a little (very little) in the bank. And I am getting my last paycheck this Friday. And I do get paid $30 every two weeks. And my birthday is in a week and a half (that's right, so buy your gifts now! =-D). So I went through my bills and stuff and I've come to the conclusion that I should be able to make it till the end of the year on what I have and will have, god willing. I just have to seriously budget and watch myself. I have a habit of spending *way* too much money on things I don't need at all. Time to stop that.
So yeah, for the first time in my adult life I'm not working. Tonight I nearly went crazy. Needless to say, my room is spotless. And I watched TV. A lot. Damn, I'm going to be 20 in a week in a half. Oh my god. I'm getting *old*. Hehe.
So all in all, I'm feeling pretty great and free and stuff. Aside from some other trouble with certain friends, everything's great. Yay me.
