Ughhhhh I hate waiting. Patience is definitely not a virtue for me. I thought I had a good shot of getting the job but I found out that they are still interviewing people so that’s not good news for me. They’ve been interviewing for the past week and a half already. The manager is out sick so my coworker is interviewing with the assistant manager next week.
Not good news for me. I guess I had better keep searching the open positions list.
I have nothing but a bunch of anecdotes so here goes:
And I have no idea why. I went to bed at a pretty reasonable hour but once I laid down, I couldn’t sleep at all. I tossed and turned for pretty much the entire night. I think I fell asleep around 4:30am for 1/2 hour and then again around 5:30 for about 45 minutes. So a total of 1 hr and 15 minutes all night. It doesn’t help that I have to work today.
Ughhhh, this is going to be one long day.
On Thursday of last week, I knew that I was tired and needed some rest. I felt tired and didn’t even want to stay and finish the day. Then on 2 separate occasions I had someone tell me that I looked tired or exhausted. To tell the truth, I honestly was and I was happy to have Friday off of work.
I pretty much did nothing on Friday. I watched a lot of tv. Then I went to the casino in the afternoon for a little while. I lost at the casino. Then I stopped at and got something to eat on my way back home. One of my friends called me later on in the evening and we went back to the casino, where I won. Then I went home and chilled for the rest of the weekend.
I have to admit, that day off felt great and I’m energized and ready to start the work week. And I don’t say that too often.
I just have a lot going on. I’m trying pay down debt while saving for a house. That’s pretty much going according to plan but it would be nice if I could increase my income to help things along.
This job search thing is weighing heavily on my mind as well. I want a new job in the worse way. I don’t make enough at my job but I also don’t like my job at all. Add to that the fact that I’ve been a job hunt for what seems like forever and it’s just not a good feeling.
Today is just not a good day in general. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll feel a little better.
I thought I had lost a bus ticket. I knew that I should have had 6 for this week which was great because I only work 3 days this week. Instead I had 5 in the pack which means that I would have had to open one of the extra packs that I have at home.
Yesterday I was rifling through my purse looking for a business card. I knew that it was somewhere loose in my purse but I wasn’t sure where. I needed the information to look into getting a new roadside assistance plan starting next year. I have a plan that goes yearly but I just found out that there is a company that offers the service that you only pay when you use it.
I never knew that there were that many assistance plans out there to choose from. Now I’m going to spend some time shopping around to find the one that best meets my needs.
Which means I lost one. I use 2 tickets per day so a book should last a whole week. On Wednesday morning as I was getting ready for work, I noticed that I only had 5 tickets in my stack instead of 6. I have tickets at home that I was planning on using this week since I only work three days. Instead I now only have 5 tickets so I’ll have to use the odd book and then start another book which will again, leave me with an odd amount of tickets.
I always keep extra tickets so it’s not really a big deal. I just prefer to have even numbers of tickets so it’s easier for me to keep track of. I’ll just throw the odd ticket in my wallet for a just in case emergency.
I talked about putting off laundry on Sunday while I watched the football games. I should have washed clothes while football was on but I didn’t. The reason is because I live on the 3rd floor of a walk-up building and laundry is in the basement. I have to lug my clothes down there only to find out that the washer and/or dryer is already in use.
Each load from start to finish is 1 hr and 15 minutes. Unfortunately most of my neighbors aren’t kind enough to time their loads so I have to keep running up and down the stairs which is tiring, especially when it’s hot outside.
I’ll just wait until I get home from work and wash clothes. Monday through Thursday is pretty easy to get into the laundry room. Hopefully I didn’t just jinx myself because I am out of clean clothes.
I have my house savings account where I’m saving for a down payment for a house. I plan on buying something next year. I also just opened a new house account but this one is for furniture, appliances, etc.
Once I buy my own house I know I’ll need curtains and household items that I don’t have now. I’ll also need a new vacuum cleaner because the one I have now is very small and is only made for small surfaces. I have a small stereo but I know I’ll want to buy Energy speakers for bookshelf to give me a better quality sound. Since I’ll be in my own house, I’ll be able to turn the radio up a little louder and really enjoy my music.
While I do want a flat screen tv, I already have 2 tv’s and I inherited 3 more from my mom. Needless to say I won’t be kicking out any more there, but that doesn’t mean that I won’t start saving for that as well. That way when the time does come to replace the item, the money will be there and I won’t have to worry about how to pay for it.
I can already see that being a homeowner is going to be very expensive.
