News and Other stuff...

1. Yesterday afternoon, I finally called the video store to see what was up with the job. Jason told me they decided to promote from within, and that I didn't get it - sorry. So, I thanked him, hung up, and curled into a ball and sobbed for about 10 minutes. Not because I didn't get the job, but because of everything that's been happening. Then the phone rang - it was the catering company. They booked me for 12 days in september, with the promise of another 10 coming in the next couple of weeks. And they're all said to be at least 10 hour shifts. You do the math - 12 x 10 x $13 an hour. Basically, I'll be able to make rent, pay bills, and put some money away for a rainy day next month. Sooooo happy, and now I feel 100% better.

2. Picked up my paycheck today - turned out to be $150 more than I thought it was. Which means I can make rent *this* month, too. *whoot*

3. Did my Tarot last night - lets just say that there are good times a-coming.

4. I'm so excited that everyone's liking L2bL - it makes me happy. Although it also makes me giggle that there are so many speculations on what is coming next:)

5. Basically, I'm feeling a lot better than I have in a long time. So...*huge big hugs for everyone*

Congrats on having it all work out. Sometimes just hanging in there is the key. Also the hardest part.

I need to go work on some more icons, as I just didn't have one that was right for this post.

::hugs::

I should make a few new ones, too.

Thanks, babe:)

Eh, I'm one angsty dude, but in the end I'm usually lucky:)

It's about damn time, too:)

Psst...are you coming up on your vacation?

[wilde-moon.livejournal.com]

Turns out I wont get my vacation time until January. *pout* But whenever I do get to take it, I'll be up.

[chocgood84.livejournal.com]

Cool cool. Better drink specials in winter, anyway. Plus? better wardrobe options ;)

I'm so glad - isn't life a bitch to make you despair before letting you know things is OK??

A great shame about the video store, tho - how about canvassing some similar businesess and applying on spec? Are you registered with an employment bureau?

But great news about the extra money - and guaranteed work to come,
Hugs and kisses

At last, (famous last words) that elusive photo of Spike not being a Boy Scout.

God I am so fucking fed up with fucking coding!!!! Sorry for spamming your in-box - that's what happens when I don't check in my own LJ, first, that I've got it right.

Well, chicago doesn't really have employment offices other than temp agencies or unemployment (which I'm not eligable for), so that's kind of out of the question. But I am keeping my eyes open for other jobs. School's starting up, so I have a feeling a lot of places are going to need new employees.

Thanks, hon:)
