I've been unemployed since June. Been looking but just have not found anything. Even had a few interviews, just never was offered anything.
Well, last week UPS asked me to come in for an interview. So I went and at the end, I was offered a job within one of their medical supplies warehouses. *squeals with joy*
Before getting this, I was freaking out in my head. Tried to be cool, clam and collected, but still freaking out. Now that I have this... Boy have I felt the weight lifted off my shoulders.
OK, well, I'm done for now.
And I have to start it off with a faceplam/headdesk moment.
I'm moving to Kentucky in three weeks. So I do the good thing and take my car in to have it checked out/worked on. If you know me, you know my luck with cars. It sucks.
Get the call from the shop saying, "Hey, yea, you need a Front Right Wheel bearing, both rear ball joints, Alingement and balance, and you wanted the oil changed and an inspection sticker. Along with Labor that will be a grand total of $849.06."
*engage jawdropping action here* "Ok, order the parts and I'll take care of the money." Which I did and now I have a third loan, my car loan being one as well as my student loan. *sigh* Oh well. I just want my car to be road worthy. That is the important thing. Oh and I still need the heater worked on. I can buddle up in the winter.
So, I've been talking to this guy... Well, I've known him for a year. But just recently we started to really talk to each other. Seems we have the same feelings for each other. No, not mentioning any names just yet, he knows who he is and if I've told you about him then there you go. If not, don't ask.
We are holding off of a bit until we are sure. *keeps fingers crossed* Anyway, I'm off.
- I may feel like this:
enthralled
Is there Ice one my car? In April? IN SOUTHERN LOUISIANA?!
I swear she is. I just saw her bolt down the street that way *points down the street.* Golden fur, purple mane and tail, yep, that was her.
So I got back in town and crawled my equine ass into my bed at 12:30am Sunday morning. My mom picked me up from the airport and what was the first thing I shoved in her face? A racehorse shoe with dirt in it from Churchill Downs. ^_^ It is now hanging in the living room.
Anyway, I spent yesterday recovering and sleeping. My mental alarm clocks are all messed up. Moving on.
So I get into work today, only to find out that they will be going through lay offs... And they know I'm leaving soon... Guess who just might be out the door. I am not that happy.
I'm headed to Louisville, Ky (*really thinks Kentucky should change those letters*) Sunday and I'll be there for a week. I'm interviewing for a job for sure Tuesday, but I'll be looking for other ones while I'm up there.
I got the call yesterday to see if I could come up there. In the next two hours I had a flight booked and decided that a week would be a lovely idea to look for other jobs since I'll be moving up there in a few months anyway.
I'm nervous. Why you might ask. Well, this will be my first time on a plane. I've never been on a plane before and I'm going alone. I'm going to another state to look for a job. That in its own right should have me nervous, and does. But I'll be fine. I know I will.
So Sunday at 5:00pm my plane leaves from New Orleans, land in Chicago around 7:33pm, wait for about almost 2 hours. Hop on a plane at 9:25pm to Louisville and land around 11:45pm. I'll hang out with Onyx, Darktiger, and Alex at their house for the week while I'm looking for a job. Tuesday at 2:00pm I interview for the reason I'm up there. After that I go back to looking for more jobs. Saturday I'll come home. Leave Louisville at 5:35pm, land in Houston around 7:00pm and wait another nearly 2 hours. Jump on a plane that heads out around 9:15pm and land back in New Orleans at 10:20pm.
Wish me luck!
Plans for the new year? Moving. Not saying anymore on it until it is all finale. Don't wanna be jinxing myself.
Aas far as cons go, I'm not sure. I remembered today that I have a friend getting married the same weekend that RCFM happens to be, so if I go to RCFM I'll be very late. And other cons, well I will have to see how the money is.
I'm kinda tried, so I'll try to do a bit more work to wake me up.
*Grabs shovel and starts digging back down into the paperwork and mumbles something about paper being good a firestarter.*
Because it is just snow. I promise, as long as you drive slow in it you will be fine. Until that jackass that thinks he can drive in ANYTHING comes barreling along and plows right into you.
Yes, snow brought me out of my little hole, it was cozy there, now I'm going back. Enjoy your snow. DRIVE SAFELY those of you that are not use to it. PLEASE.
It's been a month, but I'm here. Now back to curling in a ball.
Hey everyone. Been a few weeks since I last posted anything. I'm fine, still have a rough day at work, but we all do. Anyway, I've been talkin' to this guy from 'round here and he and I kinda hit it off. So I'm going to see him and have a few drinks Friday. And I'm nervous as all get out. Zander is a really sweet guy and keeps me laughing. We all know how I love to laugh. If I'm not at least smilin' then someone should make me and fast.
Anyway, yea, I'm like really nervous and it is only Tuesday. Wish me luck!
But if that does not work I do have another place I couuld move to, but I'll not say anything on that one just in case.
Anyway, Mel (my friend) is very excited about it and so am I.
I have one request from everyone that befriended Eratu and myself. Please stay netural. I'm not going to bad mouth him, but I AM unhappy with him. There are things that are running through my mind now that I want to put down, but that would only lead to me bad mouthing him and I'm tried of all the screaming that I want to do.
I have been venting to my friends in private, no need to air everything out here. I'm hurting now, but that is to be expected... Right? So, just let me hurt, making stabs at Eratu and his new 'mate' would not be wise. I guess I'm growing up a little, and some of that has to do with him. Heck there is a lot of who I am now that he brought out in me. So thank him for knowing who stands before you today.
Expect to see an emo pony... That is all I have to say.
Don't put her through the pain and haert ache you have put me through... Thanks, now I'm at work crying and you know how much I HATE crying.

Wow, I’m only a week or so late. I have my reasons.
August 28-31: MFM weekend. Suppose to be fun and have a good time with friends you have not seen in a while. And it started out that way, until I went to dinner and found out some very unwanted information. This information is what caused the dragon and I to break up. Needless to say, my MFM was shot. My first MFM and it was already off to crappy start.
Friday morning I woke up to something not so pleasant, not going into details. If I told you what happened then you know. If not, I’m not stating it all here. I moped around on my laptop Friday morning, thanks Ken for letting me talk to you, and then I FINALLY got out of the room and roamed around. Friday started off bad, but slowly got better. Friday night I got to see someone drunk that I NEVER thought I’d ever see drunk. It was funny and it was a good time had by those of us that were there. Went and crashed in a friend’s room because I didn’t want to be in mine.
Saturday I got up and wondered around some more. I can’t really remember what happened that day, not that it really matters. I know I drank that night. I knocked back just enough in a short amount of time to get a decent buzz. Oh and I had not eaten, so yea, I was good to go. Stayed up too late and then went back to said friend’s room and crashed again. The Hurricane starts to look worse for us Louisiana furs that were in Memphis.
Last day of the con and … yea. I know that Sunday evening I went and bugged Jamie Neon and Nate. Nate let me color a picture. Can I say that I LOVE the eye? http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1515988/
September 1-5: Monday everyone in my room got up and packed up. It sucked seeing all my friends go, but we all had lives to get back to. I walked around the hotel lobby and gave hugs to anyone that I could find that was running from the hurricane. We headed out about noon or one. I can’t remember. Brody was nice enough to tell us that we could stay at his place for a while so we were not paying for a hotel room. We took him up on the offer. So to thank him for it I paid to have steaks and home mash red skinned potatoes. I made potatoes the way my mom makes them… OMG nommy, and I pulled it off. That made me happy. Brody was kind enough to let us stay until we left Thursday morning.
We made it to Mobile, Al. We could not get into Louisiana because of the curfew, so we went an extra hour to Pensacola, Fl and to another friend’s house. We woke up and all of us, friend included, went to Waffle House and had breakfast before we ventured back to Louisiana. About 5 hours later and I was hugging my mom, both of us in tears. Never before have I been away from my family during a hurricane. NEVER! I hated not being at home. I went inside and played on my computer before passing out… I missed my bed.
August 6-present: Saturday I got up and did yard work. Plenty of it was needed to clean up around the house. It looked horrible. The fence came down in two places, but other then that, nothing too bad. Just a bunch of raking and scooping and tossing all that on piles by the road. Demonica and I then went and ran the roads a bit just to get out of the house.
Sunday my mom and dad had to go to a wake for someone that passed away Saturday. Got a call saying to show up at work today, and thus here I am. Phones will be ringing off the hooks and I still need to do my normal work.
Alright kids, I hate to point out what MIGHT happen, BUT let us remember that there is a Hurricane out there. If it gets to the Gulf on Sunday there is a GOOD chance that those of us that live near the Gulf coast are going to feel it on our drives home Sunday evening and Monday all day.
So, here is a bit of advice, be careful. I'm not going to worry about this thing too much, but here at work they are going to start calling meetings. I just want everyone to be safe. Yes I'm a worry wart, get over it.
