taerowynWas kind of depressed last night and I couldn't figure out why. I should have been very happy as today is my birthday and the first birthday I've been able to celebrate at home in four years. Figured it out though. I knew that just because I was back home, didn't mean things were going to be what they were and this was just going to be one more example of how much I and the people around me have changed in the past four years. It's that whole "You can never go home again." Or some such. But now that I have that all figured out, I'm much happier and am greatly anticipating the birthday party my friend is being good enough to throw me. Let's see she has a huge house she shares with five other college girls and I have...parents. I'm going to like this party :-P
On a less self-focused topic...fun with anthrax (or pudding mix, depending on whether we're talking NYC or CO). So Tom Brokaw's assistant now has anthrax because she opened a letter addressed to him. I don't know, if I was Peter Jennings' assistant I think I'd go on strike, or ask for a BIG raise.
OK, back to me again, I'm getting a nice happy raise (WooHoo!) I started here in mid-August, got a 50 cent raise at the beginning of September and by changing my job title and duties I'll be getting another $1/hour as of this week. I figured it out and the extra I make will exactly cover my school loan which starts up in December (which I was dreading for obvious reason). So until then, more money for savings and then pay for the loan and I won't have to work on re-budgeting everything. One less thing to stress over! Yeah!!
