Things are looking....up? Well they're looking anyway. We just moved into a new apartment with our friend Matt. He's a bit of an odd guy, but not in a way that's hard to deal with. Just mildly bothersome once in a while, but thus far he's been the very picture of a perfect room mate. That is to say, he keeps to himself most of the time. I'm still in the same dead end job that I've held for nearly two years now, but that is subject to change rather quickly here, and therein lies a story.
Just recently, and unfortunately after I signed a new lease that kept me in one place for seven months, my boss offered me a job that paid $650 a week and a place that one of his friends was renting out for $300 a month. Contrary to my first thought, the place was even pretty nice. Also, it's in North Dakota. And while this is unfortunately out of my reach, my co-worker Kevin plans to go. So a quick breakdown: My boss is leaving, one of my 3 co-workers is leaving shortly after. Another is quitting after tonight. And the last co-worker knows nothing about the department we're in. So with the new, and much longer drive to work now that I've moved, I get to find out how much it's worth to management to keep me around, considering I'm the only person they will have who knows how to do anything in Grocery. If it's not worth an extra buck or two an hour, I can find a job closer by.
Speaking of the new place, it's pretty nice. Bigger than I expected and relatively cheap for what it is. It's pretty big and it allows dogs. Indoor and outdoor pool in the community, has it's own gym, and it's sorta in the woods a bit. I really like it so far.
My biggest problem right now is the multiple and various problems I'm having with the truck. Not any really big huge problems, but each one costs money, and that's not something I'm exactly rolling in right now. So there's that.
But all in all, things are going better than normal for now...
