only sleeping

Listening to: Edgewater- Eyes Wired Shut
Drinking: Raspberry flavored water, which isn't half bad. Oh, and coffee. *Lots* of coffee.

There is money. In my wallet. Money! *does the Dance of Joy*

I have a cell phone! One of these days, when I get Morphiadream off of the ground, I'll use it for my business line. But right now? *Cell phone*. (Authors Note: Yes, I realize I'm well behind the rest of the world, but hey- don't stomp on my unadulterated joy, ok?)

Next week, I should be in possession of a spiffy new credit card, too. And before anyone asks? Yes, I need it. I'm sick and tired of dealing with places that do *not* accept the Discover card. So, rejoice with me! There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Side note: I'm mind numbingly tired right now, and I get to work all night. Yay! S'ok, though. There will be massive quantities of coffee consumed, much television watched, and many trips taken outside for a smoke or two, to keep me awake. See, this is the NICE part of my job. The freedom to get up and watch TV for a few hours, if I feel like it. And the freedom to pop outside any old time that I feel like it. The downside? Sometimes, it's so quiet that I get *incredibly* bored, and when you're tired? Boredom is not a welcome thing. But, hey- surviving. Goes back to that nice feeling of having money in my wallet. Heh.

I really do like my new job. The jobs in this small town are largely non-existent, but this one just jumped out at me, via an ad in the paper that my darling cousin told me about. My line of work with openings on my favorite shift...what were the odds? The same evening that my cousin told me about the ad in the paper, my best friend called me and asked if I wanted to go out with him the next day, and put our applications in. So, we went...and I was actually prepared ahead of time. Since he'd been working steadily for the last few years, and I have not...I decided I was going to have to do *something* to make myself stand out a little bit more. So, I dropped off a resume with the application, and lo and behold...they called me the next day for an interview.

Things only got stranger from there. Turns out, the Boss Lady is someone that I worked with a few years ago. She remembered me, which was why she called...and during the interview, she mentioned that after reading my resume, she was struck by how much had happened in my life since the last time we had worked together. She decided that all of those nasty experiences must have made me "mature". (Little does she know, 'eh?)

Anyway, the interview was on a Monday, and I was hired by Wednesday. I was a little amazed by how quickly everything had happened. And my best friend, who put his application in on the same day? Never got a call.

Funny. I thought for sure he was more qualified than I was. When I put my application in, I didn't really think there was a chance in hell of getting hired...mostly because the place is a little more upscale than what I'm used to. Just goes to show you, 'eh? Just give it your best shot, and you might walk away suprised.

The only thing I'm not terribly fond of? The occasional mandatory 12 hour shift, which I already got saddled with last weekend. Still, I probably shouldn't be complaining, because those mandatory 12 hour shifts mean an obscene amount of money for what *I* consider incredibly easy work.

I *heart* getting paid too much for spending half of the night sitting in front of the television, watching Nick at Nite...

Now, watch. I probably just cursed myself, and tonight will be hell on earth. I don't care, I'm actually looking forward to going in later.

Dammit, I just bought another account at SOI, and I really wish seph would get off her ass and open it up for me. *grumbles* I have no patience!

Oh yeah, did I mention that while I was at work, I pretty much have nothing to do between the hours of 11pm and 2am? And then again from 2:30am until 6am? And I'm in possession of a phone? So, ya know, if I know your phone number? That pretty much means you might be getting random phone calls in between my television watching, coffee drinking, and smoke breaks. Ph3ar.

Time for more coffee!
